Just came home from the show, I'm reeeaallly tired but I see that there is no update yet, so I leave you a quick comment. Evereything went great. Stéphane was amazing, had relaxed performances with no falls, was loved by the crowd. The costumes are all beautiful, even the egyptian one Romeo was magic, there was such an intimate and delicate connection between them.. wow. He did just a short version of Tell (the final steps, like in encores), so he wasn't pushing himself too much, even if he did three programs. Well, not, at the end they were not three. He was on the ice almost all the time. He was in the Rossini opening, then in Tell, then in Romeo and Juliet, then in Barbiere di Siviglia with Anna and Luca, then in La Traviata, then in Trovatore (Caro's program), then in Aida - closing. Yes, the number is seven. La Traviata was a new, more acted, original, very 'opera' version - with the presence of other skaters. I loved it. I loved everything And the commentators stopped him to talk with the crowd at the end of Tell. Now good night to everyone tomorrow I should be able to begin posting the videos (but sorry, I wasn't able to film the show, just the meeting. I really hope that someone recorded the seven programs he did tonight, and the short interview too!

and a quick funny aspect Stéphane did tonight the perfect sit spin. Literally sitting on the ice. ;D ;D ;D ;D During Trovatore, he was in the role of a gipsy and that moment was so funny, so great! What a gifted actor!

Thank you, anna. I'm glad you enjoyed and that everything went well with no major problems. It's good that Stephane adjusted and didn't try to skate Traviata as LP but still he managed to be a lot on the ice. ;D I was a bit worried. Last year the ice was bad and he injured himself. And this year he was a headliner with Carolina doing a pair program. It is not so easy. I think he is made for this show. He must have been in his environment with fun and a little bit of challenge. He loves theatre, live music, working with the cast on creating the entire musical visual experience, with skating, dancing, acting and theatrical play. Looking forward to see the videos (hope there will be any ).

Thank you very much, I can not sleep waiting to see the performances. La Traviata is significantly modified to allow the test song ( compared with LP only music) but it's nice, smooth. Less technical but more acting. The duet seems nice, thanks Reut. It was well received the duet? Stéph&Caro were well coordinated? I am sorry that there was only the end of Tell, they could use it as an exhibition opening at this point, it would have made more sense perhaps? I can not wait to see all the costumes of the various apparitions. Thanks stephanie2006 and Anna

Stephane is one of the best and most popular skaters in the world, but I really like the fact that he likes to keep things simple. He's willing to sit down with a few fans and talk person-to-person about the things he does, without making himself like a hero. He seems like an amazing person. He definitely is! I don't want it to sound pretentious, but 5 years ago similar fan meeting with Stephane really changed my life. I believe it is something that brings so much both to his fans and to him too. Of course when it's a meeting, when both sides meet to talk and discuss things, when people share their interest to what he is doing and not when they take his energy for the tenth autograph or photo. Love and warmth of the heart are funny things: the more you share, the more you have. I hope we'll have more such meetings in the future. And thank you everybody, who came, proposed here questions, wrote here good wishes, copied information and helped with translation!
