Review by michael-a-meier

I'm quite surprised there are so few reviews of this series. It's really entertaining, completely unpredictable and has a great cast. This is a production of international, timeless quality. It claims to be completely fictional but very obviously wants to show life behind the curtains in the opera business. I'm a professional musician myself, so I know some things about rehearsals and preparation before being in the spotlight. I also know a professional ballet dancer, which is the brother of a good friend of mine. I can say for sure that this series is realistic and that life as a ballet dancer can be like this. I'm also sure it can be completely different, depending of where you are, who directs and which group dynamics exist there - this is something I experienced with orchestras. A great, tense, dramatic and quite erotic production that at least I can't stop watching.
