Was taken to the Festival Hall by my elder sister to see the Bolshoi do Pas de Deux and was absolutely amazed when the mail [sic] dancer caught the female and he was standing almost in the orchestra pit and I just exploded with cheers until everyone joined in as it was a matinee and the audience was so cold up until then. My sister was very embarrassed but I was so excited.
