V A D I M đđ€© What we saw last night was a glimpse of a very special Leontes. If anyone missed his revelatory Rudolf, a ticket for his WT would seem to be a âmust buyâ. The coaching session (Act 3 pdd) with Edward Watson was a real âinsightâ but, maybe, the Florizel/Perdita pdd with Chris Saunders which came later was at too early a learning stage for the occasion even though Sae Maeda and Luca Acri are lovely to watch.- 527 replies

Great that Yasmine is featured in this way. Along with other RB stars in their thirties she does not get enough coverage to cement her in the public mind as a really great dancer. -
The ends of SW Stalls Row C have a really good view as far as Iâm concerned. And Yu Kurihara (as well, of course, as Momoko Hirata) seems to be accumulating a lot of admirers. Choices, choices - always difficult but BRB really does seem to have a rich reservoir of Auroras.

This thread is headed RB but I guess the survey relates to everything about the ROH?

Isabella Gasparini substituting in Requiem shows what an absolute trooper she is too. đđđ Thank you to those who have given eye witness reports.

Both Corrales and Cuthbertson have recently posted themselves rehearsing TWâsT on social media so, hopefully, whatever ailed them is now in the past.

But, surely, dancersâ commitments to their home company should take precedence over guesting? (âŠâŠâŠ.) I had done exactly that (i.e. booked specifically for the second cast tonight) but, completely coincidentally, had needed to return my ticket.

âŠâŠ. who was Alice when still âonlyâ a soloist but, IIRC, made such an impression in the role that many would have promoted her to Principal with immediate effect.

Not the way I look at it. The soliloquy between Acts 1&2 is gorgeous, his Act 3 variation can be spectacular. The rest is partnering an Odette or an Odile who completely obscures Siegfried from view for much of the time. @Maryâs version (see above) would sort the dancing issue for me nicely. But not the ending đ€ -
I think it was established upthread that the announcement would precede the Patrons' Season Preview on the 1st May. That points to a Press Release on the 30th April.

At least, this run, the Siegfrieds donât seem to be falling away from VR into a terrifying roll forwards which made the audience fear they would end up in the orchestra pit. -

Thatâs not surprising. Cesarâs dancing as Juan Fernandez was something of a scene-stealer (to put it mildly)!- 150 replies

Cesar led the second cast of LWFC alongside Yasmine Naghdi and, together, they blew me away, transforming the ballet into something very special.- 150 replies
