Dawnstar Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 17 minutes ago, Saodan said: Thinking of Bonelli, he is currently away on his Clore Leadership Fellowship, returing for Frankenstein in the spring. Presumably this means that he wont be available to dance in Nutcracker at all, be that with Naghdi or the two performances he was scheduled to dance with Morera. More cast changes we are waiting for... Here was me checking the ROH Nutcracker casting on their website earlier this evening after reading this thread & going "Oh good, the performance I've booked for hasn't acquired any TBCs". However as Bonelli is one of the cast members it's suddenly not looking so good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmeralda Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Wow, there will be quite a lot of cast changes around Christmastime! Didn´t really realize this before since I only booked for the matinee on new years day only because of the time not because of any cast. If Jackson also cancels his performances I can imagine that maybe we will some some debut from a first solosit/soloist, especially with one pairing (Hayward/McRae) completely missing. Curious to see how this will work out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulcinella Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) They could always bring in guest artists from BRB, after all the productions aren’t that different. Brandon Lawrence, Delia Mathews anyone? Edited November 16, 2018 by Pulcinella 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annamk Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Just had this Cast change for The Royal Ballet's The Nutcracker 12 December 2018 at 7.30pm and 15 December 2018 at 7pm Our records show that you are due to attend a performance of The Nutcracker. We are contacting you to let you know that due to injury, Kevin Jackson, who was due to perform as a guest artist with The Royal Ballet, will be replaced by Ryoichi Hirano as the Sugar Plum Prince. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riva Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I’ve not had an email to confirm, but website is also showing Naghdi/Hirano replacing Hayward/McRae in Nutcracker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xandra Newman Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I was very much looking forward to seeing (Prince) Kevin Jackson partner (Sugar Plum) Yasmine Naghdi, such a shame he got injured. Jackson must be devastated as this would have been his first appearance on the Covent Garden stage, I think. I assume, as Naghdi is called upon to take over Hayward's shows, she'll also take over in Winter Dream (?); this will add quite a few shows to her scheduled shows.

capybara Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 This relatively early notice is good. It would be nice if they could get the casting up accurately for what's happening next week, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saodan Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Just to be clear, the replacements for Hayward and McRae are being shown as: Naghdi and Hirano on 7th Dec, Kaneko and Bracewell on 21st Dec. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanartus Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I note that all seats are sold out. This obviously means that they were sold far too cheaply. I suggest that the ROH should force the present ticket holders to bid to keep hold of their tickets.😏😉 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does me nicely (though sad not to see Francesca), as always like to see Yasmine, and none of Fumi's other dates were possible for me, and she was one I was hoping to catch this run 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saodan Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Casting for Symphony in C has changed. 22nd Nov, previously listed as TBC, is now the Osipova cast. 23rd Nov, previously listed as the Osipova cast, is now the Cuthbertson cast. This means that each cast now has three performances. Cuthbertson on 20th, 23rd, and 28th. Osipova on 22nd, 26th, and 29th. Is this the change you were expecting to see Capybara? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninamargaret Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Given up trying to follow who is dancing when! I'm only going on 20 November so will most likely see Naghdi/Ball in Unknown Soldier; then see what happens for the rest of the programme. At this rate they'll be recruiting members of this forum to help out! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmeralda Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 But the Infra casting still seems to be four performances first cast, 2 performances second cast, I wonder why...Well, at least I see different casts for Unknown Soldier and Symphony in C.

Yes, it is the instance where dancers were saying something different to the website and the fact that the list was wrong/incomplete has actually caused some inconvenience in our household. I'm afraid that, yesterday, I sent a somewhat assertive e-mail to the people i/c the ROH's social media and maybe, just maybe, this prompted them to sort it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. The RB can already tell people Kevin Jackson is out, his own company still telling the world he's dancing Spartacus on Wednesday and Saturday this coming week. RB wins in this case 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tebasile Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Has anyone who has booked for the Nutcracker on the 7th received an email informing them of the cast change? I know that it says Naghdi/Hirano on the website, but I don't fully trust this information as I have not yet received an email (and given the error with the Symphony in C cast...)

Sim Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 As things stand, it is definitely Naghdi/Hirano on that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shade Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) Just phoned box office re casting for Symphony in C as it seems to have disappeared from the website again. The assistant told me that Osipova wasn't dancing it and I asked her if she could confirm the cast - she checked the website and said that she couldn't and remarked that there have been problems but the staff are not told about them! I bought a (cheap) ticket anyway - I will just take a chance on it. Very bad impression of the organisation - seems shambolic.

ninamargaret Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 As Penelope Simpson has pointed out the cast lists are now impossible to read in the light of the auditorium. Have emailed Customer Service about this. I gave up trying to see who was dancing what! Please can someone knock some sense into the heads of the people who are making such a mess of everything at the ROH? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
