No changes in the roster, as far as I can see. Here is a very useful PDF calendar of Hamburg 18/19 performances - love this very handy all one page - German efficiency of course! https://www.hamburgballett.de/downloads/kalender/spielzeit_18_19.pdf Edited March 27, 2018 by Don Q Fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Well, I'm sure we can rely on the good old Royal Mail/[insert whatever your national postal service is] to make sure the letters get there on time ;_. Mind you, depending on what the dates are, I wouldn't trust even Deutsche Post to get them there on time - but perhaps they've improved since my day.

Angela Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 It seems easier to get into Bayreuth Festspielhaus, where you have to wait seven years for tickets, than to get a gala ticket at Hamburg ... Hamburg folks go crazy about these galas, but it's not so hard to get tickets for the other performances. There are some people who tend to get a bit tired of Neumeier, to be honest.... Good luck for everybody who tries! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estreiiita Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Actually it's not that difficult to get tickets for Nijinsky Gala. I tried it once and got two tickets no problem ( of course, it' s probably important to send the request in the indicated dates. My friend also got a ticket without problems - we both were sending requests from different countries - Denmark and France. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck for everybody who tries! I've actually got a ticket for Bayreuth this August, after only two years of waiting, thanks to the online sales. I'm so glad I don't want to try for the gala, just reading the instructions toursenlair posted made my head ache - imagine trusting everything to the notorious Italian postal system! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Q Fan Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Who dances at the Volksoper in Vienna - the Vienna State Ballet the same as the Wiener Staatsoper? I just saw 2 great performances this weekend in Vienna - Raymonda and a fabulous quadruple bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angela Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 John Cranko's Romeo will be in German cinemas on 22.July - a list of screenings (more venues to follow, it says) and a preview here: http://www.ballett-im-kino.de/ The recording was made last year with Elisa Badenes, David Moore, Marti Fernandez Paixa, and with Marcia Haydée als Juliet's nurse. As far as I know it is supposed to be published on DVD later on. Onegin was also recorded with Alicia Amatriain and Friedemann Vogel, so maybe it will follow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies, only just seen this question. They are administratively the same organisation, but despite being in the same city, different people are allocated to the two venues and the corps are separated: https://www.wiener-staatsoper.at/en/artists/ballet/ Edited June 4, 2018 by Sebastian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, not so much about Romeo and Juliet but hopefully it may lead to a new recording of Onegin which I'd love though even better to let the Royal ballet film it. Given current dancers you could have several amazing casts. Vadim for Onegin, anyone? Though I love his Lensky too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I'm not sure I can see Muntagirov dancing Onegin yet-awhile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeauxArts Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Alison - do you mean from an age-perspective? If so, Lantratov (29) dances the role of Onegin - and has been since around 2014 I think; Shklyarov (33) also made his debut this year. But Muntagirov certainly has time for this role.. and I would be very interested to see him in it, although he may not quite have at the moment the dramatic forces that these two can generate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Q Fan Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 ME neither he is very much the gentler Lensky character! Interestingly Muntagirov (RB) and Chudin (Bolshoi) are similar and Chudin dances Lensky too. Onegin is a bad boy = so more your Soares (RB) or Lantratov (Bolshoi). I love Onegin and Dutch National Ballet are very good at Onegin too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizbie1 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I'm not familiar enough with the ballet to offer an informed opinion, but I'd like to throw out the suggestion that Onegin, even pre-duel, is not a simple bad boy in the poem (or the opera). Remember, he's pretty young himself at the start of the action and, though it's admittedly convenient for him, thinks he's doing the right thing by rejecting Tatyana. The best operatic Onegin I've seen (dramatically speaking) conveyed a wide streak of idealism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
