FLOSS Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 It is heartening to see that Wheeldon has given his unscheduled second cast the opportunity to repeat their roles in the revival of the Winter's Tale rather than using the dancers who were his intended second cast. All three casts will be well worth seeing. In the first season there were many who thought that the second cast had a slight edge, if only because movements which could be described as Ed Watson's specialities have an even greater impact when performed by a dancer on whom they are unexpected. I can see that while this may be a short season it is likely to be an expensive one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Newcombe Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Patting myself on the back, as I had a feeling that Claire Calvert would be cast as Hermione. Hay and Hayward together as well. You are right Floss it is going to be an expensive season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should darned well hope so Was anyone else actually unscheduled apart from Gartside? I'm also glad to see Soares getting a go, because it wouldn't have been the first time that someone who was sidelined through injury first time around ended up never being cast in the role again. Trying to work out what the selection of Monsters implies for Frankenstein ... And is there any indication of which will be the big-screen broadcast? (I'm really hoping they go back to doing a summer one, rather than an extremely chilly autumn one as this year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greypuss Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Liam Scarlett shares some thoughts on his new production in the San Francisco section of World Ballet Day. It's at approximately 3 hours in. Sorry I cannot provide the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annamk Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I can't remember the last time I found an RB season quite as unappealing ...... is it a foretaste of Kevin O'Hare's idea that in 2020 he'd like to programme a whole year of work made in the preceding decade ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimi Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 It's as though Scarlett wanted to get both aspects of the Creature, who is very big and very fast, but couldn't reconcile them in the same dancer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesrhblack Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) Yes, the contrast between McRae & Kish in the same role has me intrigued too.Likewise Muntagirov and Dyer - very different physical "types...." After an excursion as Gremin which suggested a certain line of managerial development, Hirano seems to be getting lots of principal role opportunities now suggesting he may be in line for promotion...

capybara Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Hasn't Scarlett said somewhere that he wants the audience to empathise with The Creature? With that in mind, I find his casting choices 'interesting' !!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nina G. Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 That's what I recall too Mr. O'Hare has said about his 2020 programming. If he is not mixing his Season2020 with any of the classics I'll be saving lots of money! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthE Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I for one think it's lovely to see the underrated and underused Laura Morera in first cast of a new work! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nina G. Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) I don't think Laura Morera is underrated or underused at all. She's a fabulous dancer but certain roles suit her far better than others. I have always enjoyed her performance whenever I have seen her dance. Edited October 14, 2015 by Nina G.

FLOSS Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 If O'Hare means the 2020 21 season then he has four more seasons available for his choreographers to create the new repertory. I do hope that he has Lady M's permission not perform any of her late husband's works in that season or it could all turn rather nasty. We usually have six or seven full length works each season.O'Hare already has Alice and the Winter's Tale available for the season. If Frankenstein is any good it will be in the running for inclusion as will Woolf Works. I can't see O'Hare planning a whole season without any nineteenth century works so he may well include Acosta's Don Q and the new Swan Lake whatever that looks like. I'm not sure whether that means it will be a costly season or one that will ease the strain on the bank account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MargaretN7 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I seem to remember Kevin O'Hare saying that he'd like to have a season where all the full length ballets are recent ones (21st century or last ten years?), but that he'd not apply this to the triple bills.

Coated Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Hmm, he better come up with some really good full length ballets then. I don't dislike most the recent crop, but can't say that I have a fervent wish to see them over and over again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mummykool Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Hansel and Gretel is certainly one I'd love to see again Bruce. Will they be able to stage it though once the Linbury is reconfigured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barton22 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I can't see O'Hare planning a whole season without any nineteenth century works so he may well include Acosta's Don Q and the new Swan Lake whatever that looks like. I am pretty sure I read somewhere that he planned to include Acosta's Don Q in what he would count as 21st century for this purpose. He may well do the same with the new Swan Lake. I think that wherever I read that, I also read that he felt he had been misunderstood on his plans and that potentially the "whole year" of these works could be a calendar year and so span two seasons. I may not be recalling correctly what I read, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthE Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Hmmmm. So, no Nutcracker over the Christmas period then? Well, that will make a nice change. It's hardly unheard-of for the RB to miss a year with Nutcracker. They didn't do it last Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't booked RB at Christmas for so many years, I didn't notice. If it wasn't the Nutcracker, then I think they used to put on Tales of Beatrix Potter, which I don't particularly like.
