Hi girls, Thank you for your links, videos, photos and jomeku for your translation! I uploaded few of my pictures of the show here: www.instagram.com/ronja_so/I'm still traveling and I have no computer access before thursday and I've had extremely bad luck with WiFi in every hotel during this trip.

The show was one of my top3 favorite shows ever (along with Ice Legends 2014 and Opera on Ice 2013). As I may have said few times before, I love it when there's just music (rather classical than pop) and a skater/s. I also love it when there's no moving pieces of stage, no one is jumping over cars or playing with fire. But yes, about this show.. I was so excited to see Stephane's "Poeta". I'm not saying this just because of Stephane, but I really love that program, I love it because it's a bit different. I love the music, the rythm, the costume, everything. And I loved how Stephane looked after he had finished it. I wish I could watch it 24 hours a day with no pauses. I also found Carolina again. I liked her in the past, but during last few years, not that much (maybe I got bored or something like that). Now I think her skating felt more energetic some how, it's hard to explain.. but it was a pleasure to watch her skating. About the other skaters, I need more time and a friendly chat with my friend called Google Translator.. In general, the show was well organized and everyhting went nice and smooth.

Thank you Ronja, for your great instagram photos, makes looking forward for more . Thank you also for impressions ... and have a nice journey ! Thank you too, Anna, for your also great pictures. With your album we have a more complete overview over the whole story of 'Le Poème' than the TV broadcast could give. Looking at them makes me feel the special atmosphere of 'Le Poème' .

In the audio, Stéphane talks about the preparations for the show at the rink. They had to re-surface the ice in order to cover the paintings, install the lights, sound system, scene with piano . After he says that he worked with Carolina in Champéry, they had to learn pairs skating figures and find the same rhythm what took them several months. Carolina describes it like this: "I'm a bit shy, when I skate I very much feel the music inside of me, but I externalize it in a different way than Stéphane. So: it was not easy to find the wave on which we could skate with the same energy." At the end Khatia Buniatishvili: "The energy of the audience here will be different than when I'm alone or when recording. Also the energy of Stéphane and Carolina is different and this too will change my attitude towards the work and the perception of the work". ... The video: He skated for the first time in 1992. First costume: (This is the part you particularly asked for, elanor. I hesitated to translate it here, but obviously he told that story already a few times, so ... ) First costume: There was a small show event at Montana, he was about seven. He remembers how he looked at his instructor and told her he needed to go to the bathroom. Her answer was: "No", because his appearance was to come right now. So he entered the ice in his black costume and ... "had to let go a bit". That's how his first show costume got "secretly baptized a bit". He won his first trophy in 1997 or 1998, the 'Coup du Rhône'. First triple Lutz: When he was about 13. First fan: His mother, she accompanied him everywhere and did everything for him, she has been a fantastic mother who sacrificed a lot for her children. The first moments with 'Ice Legends': when he sat with the whole team in front of a white sheet of paper asking themselves where they wanted to start. Everyone got own responsibilities. It was a nice moment: They are friends who are not necessarily into figure skating but he managed to transmit them his passion. The nicest part of the video, in my opinion, starts after 4 minutes when Stéphane (in his 'La Valse' costume) and Carolina rehearse their 'Pas de deux' again.

Anna, thank you for your photos. But I was confused about the link, sometimes it works for me, sometimes it doesn't and shows "Page doesn't exist". Weird... jomeku, he told that story already a few times, so not a big secret. P.S. Was amused to see a glimpse of myself in the "Nespresso" video ( here, we had some unexpected small crises at work and I had to deal with it via messenger during the press conference )

Thank you, pianomaya! I was looking to see their version as, to tell the truth, I less liked the one provided by Swiss TV. So I wanted to compare how Japanese TV did it. Didn't have much time, just checked the opening, it looks like they took partly footage from same cameras as RTS and party something else. Also they have interesting off ice introductions, interviews (which I don't understand). And, for example, on 30:23 of the first video a nice moment of Stephane working with Mao. Is Mao saying something about him? Hope to watch the whole video today or tomorrow.
