OK, it's obviously not the same as being their in person, but you do get to see it live and get good views of the whole performance. It does leave you in that bizarre state of not knowing whether you should be eating popcorn during the performance or ice-cream during the interval though.
The performance itself was excellent. I loved the choreography, particularly the underwater scenes in act 1 which clearly showed the flow of the water, the way they captured the movement of the boat in act 2, Ondine who was just gracefully nymphlike and Tirrenio in general who just swished and flashed past like the most amazing storm.
Oh, what it would be to be bendy enough to leap around a stage like that...
