    Sorry I got ahead of things, Pappano’s sabbatical season is 2020/21.
  2. MrsBBB
    Pappano’s presence isn’t strictly required for the launch as he’ll be on sabbatical next season.

    He had a prior engagement in Germany.

    Would you have said that to Fonteyn? Or Ferri? I for one am enjoying the range of artistry we get to experience in this run.

    I’d think the BBC will look for someone younger to diversify the panel. Maybe Stacey Dooley as a highly popular past winner, though she might be too similar to Claudia Winkleman as a slightly “quirky” personality. Ore Oduba seems a fair guess.

    He sang last night.

    I found Kevin O’Hare’s remark towards Leanne Cope at yesterday’s Insight event “What makes a Royal Ballet Dancer” rather disrespectful. She hosted the event, and during a discussion on post RB careers he said “ Who would have thought little Leanne would go on to lead a Broadway and West End show”. It’s the use of the adjective little I object to. I know she’s very petite but this felt wrong and unnecessary.

    I saw all 3 casts last week and it was the Act3 pdd between Lamb and Hirano at yesterday’s matinee that moved me the most. It was a really extraordinary performance in a ballet I don’t particularly like. Very powerful. Glad to report that the performance was filmed for Japanese TV.

    A friend of mine who had booked a nearby seat for cycle 2 (but was unable to go due to illness) said he was contacted by the Met Police about this incident. Obviously he couldn’t tell them anything.
  10. MrsBBB
    Yes confirmed. She said he’s helping her coach the partnering.

    The RBS tweeted that Prince Charles will attend tomorrow’s world premiere of Scarlett’s Cunning Little Vixen.

    Especially as it was premiered on Valentine’s Day 🕊💞🕊

    Lucky students indeed! Though I’ll miss seeing him at RB performances (as Ballet Master).

    Bayerisches Staatsballett will give an update tomorrow (Tuesday) on their relationship with Polunin. In the article he says that he expects to continue dancing there.

    Not TV but radio: Marianela Nuñez is on Radio 4 on 8th January at 11.30, talking about life and preparations for her 2 roles in the recent RB run of La Bayadère.
  16. MrsBBB
    Mayara Magri, Elizabeth Harrod, Claire Calvert, Beatriz Stix-Brunell as far as I’m aware.

    It’s Rob Clarke. He spoke about the role and acting rehearsals in the recent Balanchine & Robbins insight evening (which was about their use of music and didn’t involve any dancers, other than in a bit of archive NYCB and POB footage).

    Yes, I noticed her pulled up shoulders in Bayadère and SiC.
  19. MrsBBB
    Yes, sounded like a woman screaming somewhere below Grand Tier level. Definitely not part of the soundtrack.

    Daria Klimentova posted a video on Instagram yesterday which showed Vadim rehearsing with Osipova as Nikiya.

    Does Harrod dance the second variation? I’ve only seen her in the third one which Takada dances in the first cast. The other second Shades I’ve seen are Magri and Kaneko.

    Yasmine’s mother told me tonight in the Bayadère interval that Yasmine is only dancing with Matthew Ball.
  23. MrsBBB
    Campbell is Bronze Idol in the first cast of La Bayadère (dress rehearsal currently underway which is being filmed). I’ve never seen a Principal in that role before
  24. MrsBBB
    Solo shades in Bayadère from a dancer’s Instagram (unfortunately not the pairings, or rather trios): Calvert Choe Hamilton Harrod Hinkis Kaneko Magri Mendizabal Naghdi O’Sullivan Stix-Brunell Takada 🙂

    A tannoy announcement about the cast change was made in the foyers but not inside the auditorium before curtain up. I didn’t see any cast change slips but apparently there were some. Both the Stalls and Amphi programme desks had run out of programmes well before the show which is incredibly bad form given most people will want to buy their programme at the first opera of the Ring cycle. Anyway, back to ballet.
