Since this time, the Conservatoire central office has liaised closely with all of its Member Schools to ensure students are not unduly disadvantaged by measures taken, to guarantee that support and good practice can be shared across all Schools, and ensure that the Conservatoire is meeting its obligations with regard to the Office for Students’ requirements. The Covid19 pandemic has required all of our Schools to take emergency measures to deliver the courses of study online. As government restrictions ease, Schools may resume on-site delivery partially and/or fully, depending on the requirements they must fulfil to ensure the safety of all students and staff. However, should the government re-impose a more severe level of restrictions, this may force Schools to adjust their delivery again, meaning the delivery of your course may need to partially or fully be online. Changes to how Conservatoire courses of study have previously been delivered in Member Schools prior to March 2020 are rigorously consulted upon and reviewed by the Conservatoire Learning, Teaching and Quality Assurance Committee, and by the External Examiner for each course. These bodies ensure that the quality of delivery meets the appropriate standards and that there is independent oversight of proposed changes.

Accepting Tchaikovsky’s choice of sub- ject for the opera, the Theatre Directorate selected Alexandre Dumas’ French adaptation of E.T.A. Hoffmann’s tale The Nutcracker and the Mouse King for the ballet. Tchaikovsky was not pleased with the subject selection because he felt it did not lend itself to theatrical presentation and was therefore quite unsuited to serve as a scenario for a ballet. Both the opera and ballet were presented on December 18, 1892. The ballet, conducted by Ric- cardo Drigo, was received somewhat unfavorably. Dance historians have attributed this to the Nutcracker’s unusual story, which was quite different from the romantic tales normally presented. The Nutcracker choreography was begun by the redoubtable Marius Petipa. The balance of the work was taken up by his assistant, Leon Ivanov, when Petipa fell ill. According to historical accounts, when the ballet was finally produced, Petipa refused to have his name linked with it, feeling his own part in its creation was insufficient to be publicly announced.
