Rojo’s farewell

Posted on February 22, 2013

Tamara Rojo danced her farewell performance with The Royal Ballet in the current run of Frederick Ashton’s Marguerite and Armand last night, partnered by Sergei Polunin.

Rojo left the company last year to direct English National Ballet. She returned at the invitation of Kevin O’Hare, The Royal Ballet’s director, who wanted to give her a fitting send-off. Carlos Acosta, who partnered Rojo regularly, was there for her curtain calls.
