  1. The website entry now gives the names of participating dancers. https://www.roh.org.uk/productions/annette-page-tribute-to-a-ballerina-by-various
  2. I believe Federico Bonelli danced Palemon about 10 years ago, although I did not see him in this role.
  3. For sale: RB Ballet Studio Live Rehearsal, Fri 15 March 1.35pm. Paul Hamlyn Hall, stage level seat B49, £15. I can either post this first class, or leave at ROH Box Office for collection in week of event. Payment by bank transfer please.
  4. An interesting feature on foley artists (who are often dancers apparently), including interview with Barnaby Smyth who created the sounds of dancers for the forthcoming film The White Crow. Now on BBC Sounds. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0002r3x
  5. For the first performance of the mixed bill which included Winter Dreams the cast changes were displayed on a (small) notice at programme desks. Since then ROH has switched to displaying larger A4 size cast change notices, as far as I am aware. Besides notices and screen information onsite, I think it is respectful to both artists and audience for significant cast changes to be announced in the auditorium pre-performance. This has happened on a couple of occasions that I'm aware of recently, so I hope that ROH will continue to do this, even though the practice seemed to stop during the period before Christmas. I did not see Daniel Camargo's performances, but presume that no cast change slip or auditorium announcement was needed because this was not deemed to be a last minute cast change. Perhaps it would be courteous for the cast sheet itself to state if a dancer is a guest artist and to give the name of his/her home company. As I was not there, I don't know what information (if any) the cast sheet gave for Daniel Camargo. In the case of live screenings a full cast list usually appears online, e.g. Don Quixote on 19 February: https://www.roh.org.uk/events/9cflh Perhaps it would be helpful if the cast sheet document distributed to cinemas for live screenings could include the relevant webpage link for full cast information. I wish the ROH website would give similarly expansive cast information for all RB performances!
  6. Only Artists today featured Tamara Rojo in conversation with Josie Rourke. It's now available on BBC Sounds: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0002qzn
  7. No - the website really did give William Walton as Creature for the first date, before this changed to Wei Wang. I wish I'd taken a screen shot! 😊
  8. The Creature for the the first night of Frankenstein is now given as William Walton. Is this correct?? https://www.roh.org.uk/events/wk2dc In the few minutes since posting the above information the web site has changed to show the Creature as Wei Wang for all first cast performances I think. A name new to me.
  9. Insight event: the Royal Ballet in Rehearsal, Tue 26 Feb at 7.30pm. ROH Clore Studio seat E13, £17. This is a paper ticket. I will either post it first class or leave at Box Office for collection, and request payment by bank transfer please.
  10. In the schedule of performances on his own website Gary Avis states that he is Lorenzo on Tue 19 Feb: https://www.garyavis.com/schedule/
  11. A 1960s production photo featuring Christopher Gable and Lynn Seymour (I think) appears to show three pigeons! This is a cropped detail, as the full image was too large to upload here. I have been unable to confirm the photographer's name. Moderators: please remove image if my posting it here contravenes AUP. Thank you.
  12. For sale: Don Quixote on Wed 20 Feb at 7.30pm. Stalls Circle Standing D51, £10. Note: this is behind tall seats in row C. This is a paper ticket. I will need to post it first class and request payment by bank transfer please.
  13. David Bintley will be a guest on In Tune later today, Mon 11 Feb: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0002hf9
  14. For sale: RB New Work New Music, ROH Linbury Sat 9 Feb 7.45pm. Upper Circle A39 [side block] £15. I will need to post this first class or leave at ROH for collection, and arrange payment by bank transfer please.
  15. In terms of dramatic momentum and vivid emotional clarity I am ever grateful to Thiago Soares and Roberta Marquez for a treasured memory of their performance together in Giselle, from maybe 10 years ago.
  16. Even if Summer season casting cannot yet be fully publicised I think that by now ROH should have been able to release some more information about the potential programme content of the Fonteyn Gala celebration. This omission indicates that perhaps the event has been planned a little belatedly, as discussed in another thread I think.
