Masterclass

Lisette gave a masterclass for the Jette Parker Artists Programme, the young artist programme of the Royal Ballet and Opera, in the Chorus Room at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. Sergey Rybin was at the piano, and the class closed with a Q&A.

"A breath doesn't mean you're giving up. A breath is not an indication of weakness. … A breath is an example of you getting ready to say a phrase with control."
