SheilaC Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) I think it is a typo, Bluebird, as on Friday 30 September Zucchhetti is listed as performing both the matinee and evening (Choe/Morera) Edited May 5, 2016 by SheilaC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLOSS Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Full casts are now up for Anastasia. The choice is between Osipova with Watson, Soares, Arestis and Saundrs and Nunez and Bonelli as Kshessinskaya and partner; Cuthbertson with Whitehead, Kish, Mendizabel and Avis with Lamb and McRae as Kshessinskaya and partner ; Morera with Gartside, Hirano, McNally and Avis with Takada and Hay as Kshessinskaya and partner. The third cast is particularly interesting as far as the casting of the classical pas de deux is concerned.I wonder whether we shall see this pairing turn up again during the course of the season in other classical works?

alison Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I guess that means the first male listed is Rasputin? Guess this is what happens when you don't revive a work for a decade or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eliamato Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) It's weird that first cast (Osipova, Watson, Soares, Arestis, Saunders,Nunez and Bonelli) has only 3 scheduled shows and the second cast of Cuthbertson&company has 4 shows.

Bruce Wall Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Delighted that Hayward/Sambe get a Fille .... Only a tad sad that Naghdi, Stix-Brunnell or Ball don't fall somewhere in between as part of Fille's 13 performance sojourn. That said ... very happy that all of the aforementioned get a stab at the prime Nutcracker PDD. Edited May 5, 2016 by Bruce Wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuthE Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Yep, first few performances' Nutcracker casting now up... as yet, with no new Claras, which is interesting. Wonder if we'll have some new ones in the latter part of the run... Edit: spoke too soon - a few more now added - Isabella Gasparini making a Clara debut.

alison Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 But then what are Soares, Kish and Hirano doing? Okay, according to the casting as posted it *does* appear that they're doing Rasputin - but I find that very odd. Soares, maybe, but Kish? I might have expected to see him dancing Kschessinka's partner, but not Rasputin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Vadim Muntagirov is scheduled for 3 x Fille & 3 x Nutcracker. But nothing in Anastasia or the McGregor mixed bill. Unless I'm missing something. Does anyone know if he's involved with other projects elsewhere next Autumn?

Thanks, capybara. Don't know whether the webpage has been altered since I looked or if I just missed it!

alison Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I had been going to say that I couldn't see any reason why Chroma should be shared between RB and Ailey dancers - until I looked at the casting for the McGregor triple bill and wondered where Ed Watson, among others, was in Chroma. I suppose that if you do tend to use a similar core of dancers most of the time, then casting a triple bill of works by the same choreographer could prove tricky without overworking them all. Possibly something to note if a Scarlett triple bill is planned, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAX Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Do they really need Salenko for Nutcracker when we see that some wonderful dancers from the company are underused ? Edited May 5, 2016 by MAX 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Wall Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Somewhat surprised to see Salenko return for just three performances with McRae of Nutcracker (although that is the same number of performances in the Winter allotment such as has been given to Golding - who I assume is still a resident RB principal. Perhaps he has other commitments.) McRae will have been dancing with other skilled resident RB principals in the interim. I wonder what the continued need - in this very specific regard - is felt to be filled by continuing to bring in a guest who has already performed so many of these assignments previously. MAX: We must have been tying the same thought at the same time. Edited May 5, 2016 by Bruce Wall 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenore Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Feeling a little underwhelmed by the casting so far... It might just be because I'm not really interested in seeing the McGregor pieces or Nutcracker. Although I'm fairly excited by the Anastasia first cast. And Hayward/Sambé in Fille. Really hoping Naghdi/Ball are cast together more in future performances though. Just noticed one of the Saturday matinees of Nutcracker starts at 5:30 which seems odd to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangorballetboy Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Just noticed one of the Saturday matinees of Nutcracker starts at 5:30 which seems odd to me. It's not a matinée - the evening show on NYE always starts at 5.30 to allow people to disperse before festivities! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Really hoping Naghdi/Ball are cast together more in future performances though. You and me both, Sylph....and many other people. Their chemistry and empathy is crystal clear for everyone to see, so let's hope management sees it too and doesn't let it dissipate from non-use... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
