Cleopatra Ballet

1 Oct 2011:  In the evening we went to the Northern Ballet production of Cleopatra, at the Theatre Royal. This is such an infinitely sad story, especially when compressed into one evening - although in reality, the mixture of triumphant and tragic events took places over 39 years.

The evening was warm and the city centre full of cheerful people. Nottingham seems to have a very latin culture in warm evenings, and the night before, Chapel Bar was entirely full of outdoor tables and seating, and people enjoying the evening, at 11pm!
