Xandra Newman Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Seven Kitri's and two debuts if I am correct (?): Yasmine Naghdi and Mayara Magri. Has Cuthbertson danced Kitri previously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Wall Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) Not a huge fan of Acosta's production but could not resist Kaneko/Osipova & Corrales ... and Naghdi/Sambe .... Luscious ... and so glad that Morera is back for the triple (and her very vibrant Gypsy Girl!)... and Hayward/Bracewell and Takaka/Hay for Two Pigeons' leads even now seem sublime!!!

MRR Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Hmmm, disappointed Francesca Hayward and Beatriz Stix-Brunell were not cast as Kitri. Especially Hayward who as a principal is not debuting any major role in full-lengths next season. Has Cuthbertson danced Don Q before? Beautiful dancer but I can't picture her as Kitri at all. I had a similar thought about Lamb when I saw her in the 2015 D.C. tour: great dancer, wrong role. But I see Lamb is not dancing Don Q in this run.

MRR Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Can't comment as I haven't seen Two Pigeons, but good to see she is debuting that. Maybe bravura technique isn't her strong suit, which wouldn't make her an ideal Odile, Kitri, or Gamzatti? But even then, she has proven quite adept at MacMillan and I would've hoped for a Vetsera debut at the very least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xandra Newman Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Obviously Mr O'Hare casts his dancers according to their suitability to dance particular roles. Perhaps the repertoire next Season is not much in her favour but I am sure we'll get to enjoy her in Two Pigeons, hopefully also in Patineurs, and a few other shorter ballets. Surely she'll dance R&J too I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangorballetboy Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I was checking something in David Vaughan's Ashton over the weekend and noticed that the "red girls" in the first revival of Les Patineurs were Beryl Grey and Gillian Lynne. What I would have paid to see that!! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard LH Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) For Don Q, they are using just 5 of the female principals for the lead, and 4 of the male principals, with no leads for Hayward, Lamb, Morera, Soares, Bonelli, Kish, Watson, or Hirano. So good roles for first soloists Kaneko, Magri, Corrales, and Sambe. Kish seems absent from anything so far published for autumn and winter. After arguing for some changes in who gets the filming, I am delighted that Takada (with McRae) is down for the live screening (and hopefully a DVD) as Kitri; also very pleased to note debuts (I believe) for Naghdi and Sambe Magri (another debut?) and Campbell also catches the eye. Looking forward also very much to Hayward and Bracewell partnering in The Two Pigeons.....two more debuts?

MAX Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Mary Vetsera would be a perfect role for Hayward ! Very weird she is cast as a first soloist or even as a soloist not as a principal next season.... Kevin O'Hare seems to be disapointed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems they don't update all the pages in one go. Edited July 23, 2018 by Richard LH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin O'Hare seems to be disapointed... Hardly likely, Max, after her 17/18 season. I think she is just being cast in 18/19 as the (young) principal that she is... after all she is still SPF in Nutcracker, creating a role in The Unknown Soldier, and debuting as The Girl in The Two Pigeons and Irina in Winter Dreams. Also there are 4 more ballets yet to be cast for the Spring and Summer 2019, including Frankenstein and Romeo and Juliet (which she has danced before). But I share some disappointment in not yet being able to see her as Mary V, Nikiya, or Kitri. Edited July 23, 2018 by Richard LH 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizbie1 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Max, which of Hayward's appearances in the last season do you think KO'H might have been disappointed in? This is a genuine question and I'm not looking to stir anything up: I haven't seen her in a lot this year and haven't seen anything but praise for her performances.

Xandra Newman Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 To me the coming Season looks very much a season during which Mr O'Hare's wants to further develop his youngest Principal ballerinas Takada and Naghdi in the classics and in tutu roles (I wouldn't be surprised if Takada and Naghdi are also given Firebird), closely followed by opportunities for the lovely First Soloist Fumi Kaneko and for Mayara Magri. Mr O'Hare is also beginning to expose his younger Principals to a worldwide cinema audience: Takada (with McRae) in Don Quixote and Naghdi (with Ball) - unconfirmed but based on the ROH poster shown on their website under Cinema relay section - in Romeo&Juliet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am finding that problem with most RB productions at the moment! Until I took up a renewed interest in ballet last year, I would never have imagined going to more than one performance in a run of any stage production - now (like other Forum members) I am not only going to see different casts in the same run, but sometimes choosing to see the same cast more than once. Expensive, but so enjoyable..... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
