Royal Ballet Gala in Japan 13-18 July 2022
MrsBBB replied to FionaM's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
I’m thrilled that Mariko gets to dance Odette in this gala. She was top of my wish list for the role after seeing her wonderful performances as one of the Big Swans this season. Looking forward to @Naomi M‘s report. (I would also not be surprised if Mariko got the double promotion rather than Letitia D) -

Royal Ballet's Giselle - Autumn 2021
MrsBBB replied to Sim's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
I’m praying to the theatrical gods that he’s not there tonight to ruin the celebration of Morera’s 25th anniversary at the RB. -
Thank you @alison for sharing these. Bizarre times for the most part, so recording is the way to go.

The Royal Ballet at Athelhampton House Gala
MrsBBB replied to Mandy Kent's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Thanks for the lovely review @Mandy Kent! Was this the Act 2 (Ashton) or the Act 3 (wedding) solo? I would love to see Calvin in a proper classical lead role. I hope he won’t get pigeon holed in contemporary rep and McGregor. -
Thanks @alison. The Met documentary is well worth watching, I saw it when the Met streamed it on their website a few months ago.

Some of the programmes for the live concerts have now been announced: https://www.bbc.co.uk/events/rxxnc8/by/date/2020 The non London based orchestras will perform in their home locations, not from the RAH. I'm looking forward to Viennese Night on Bank Holiday Monday 🙂.

Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich started having a very small audience of 50 in the house this Monday at their live streamed weekly Monday concert (available to view free on demand here: https://www.staatsoper.de/tv.html ). There are two more concerts this season, on 22 and 29 June. They usually include a brief segment of ballet solos or pdd to recorded music as well as chamber music performed by members of the orchestra and vocal performances by opera singers.

Just the pianist and singer, then. Maybe the Pdd can be performed to recorded music.- 1,212 replies

Is there any info on how the ROH credits can be used? E.g. how long are they valid for, can they be redeemed online etc.? I’d be happy with credits as I don’t want to cause them a cashflow crisis, but not if there are very restrictive conditions. -
Ditto. I had to put Nelson Freire on afterwards to get that terrible performance out of my head. The solo piano playing at RB performances has been rather poor ever since Philip Gammon retired. It’s a real pity when the company is on such strong form to have their artistry marred (for those who care about / notice the music) by poor pianism.

I was at ROH last night and completely agree with @Springbourne3, Hayward and Bracewell were simply magical in DaaG. I hope to see much more of this partnership, in particular R&J and Giselle 😍

In light of the Dante full length this season and the Atwood adaptation in 2022 https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2020/feb/14/margaret-atwood-ballet-maddaddam-to-be-staged-by-wayne-mcgregor I’m rather hoping we’ll be spared a full length McGregor in 2020/21.

English National Ballet 20/21 season
MrsBBB replied to bangorballetboy's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
Yes, she created a short piece called Into the Woods in the 2012 run of RB Draft Works. This was modern, no pointe shoes or tutu. I remember it well, it was rather disturbing. Review and a photo are here: https://dancetabs.com/2012/01/royal-ballet-draft-works-london/- 41 replies

From the January ROH Friends newsletter: “Designs for The Dante Project include film projection by artist Tacita Dean. As part of the design, the projection generates sound, an integral part of the ballet’s concept and audio experience. Some balcony tickets - from which the projector will be heard - are now available to book at a discount.”- 108 replies
