    Tony Hall will take up a new role as chair at the National Gallery https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/bbc-chief-tony-hall-national-gallery-a4339431.html So not retiring as such - changing role.

    Even the programme booklet is well produced, which isn't always a given on these sorts of occasions. For the curious, there is a complete list of all the repertoire ENB has ever performed along with date ranges and numbers of performances. I hadn't realised for example that the Khan Giselle has now had 90 performances: the Skeaping version 409. And Apollo has been performed 158 times. It sheds light on lots of corners of the rep that are unfamiliar. Lots of detail on the company's history, and reminiscences from former members.

    The coaching details used to appear on cast sheets previously, but were a casualty when they briefly changed to the unpopular "open up" much smaller cast sheets. They reverted to the original size, but the coaching details were not reinstated.

    Odd, isn't it, that details of who has been coaching the principals appear on these cast sheets for the cinema relay, but no longer appear on the cast sheets at the ROH. If you see it live you have to acquire a programme to get those details.

    There's an article on the V&A website from the time of the exhibition in 2017 celebrating his 80th birthday which has a number of photos https://www.vam.ac.uk/blog/news/photographing-people-and-performance-crickmay-at-80

    There's lots to look forward to from the big companies of course, but I'm looking forward to some performances from smaller groups as well , for example Russell Maliphant at the Coronet in February, Viviana Durant'es company at the Barbican in Feb, and Mark Bruce at Wilton's in March. Very curious to see how ENB's new Khan work turns out too.

    Oops. Apologies . My mistake.I think I got that muddled with some other guest appearance elsewhere.
  8. Lynette H
    I think that was Lauren Cuthbertson, not Naghdi.

    It was a very long run in 2000. (I think that's what Jane was referring to.) Details are in the ROH performance database here. (scroll down) You can see how many performances Benjamin did. http://www.rohcollections.org.uk/production.aspx?production=1929&row=1 I thought I recalled seeing Sarah Wildor also paired with Kobborg, later in the run and I did. I don't think they danced together otherwise. I see Morera, Nunez and Galeazzi were all friends of Swanhilda at that time.

    I got an email today indicating a cast change for Dr Coppelius for 23 and 28 Dec - now Bennet Gartside. So it seems they have gone.
  16. Lynette H
    Dowell did this as G.M. in performances with Guillem. He made more of it than Gartside did.
  17. Lynette H
    I see that both Marriott and Howells are both still shown on the website as appearing as Dr Coppelius. (But then McRae is still listed on there for roles where a replacement has already been announced, so that isn't necessarily to be relied upon). Should we expect to see them in a final farewell performance do you think or have they already left ? I will miss Marriott in character roles. His King in Beauty has impeccable manners. I wondered idly where the next generation of character dancers would come from, but no names sprang to mind immediately.

    In the Linbury, seat numbers have now been added to the edges of the seats where they are clearly visible when they are flipped up. Previously, the seat number was on the middle of underside of the seat (it's still there) but the lighting meant that this was very difficult to see and many members of the audience quite clearly found it difficult to know where their seat was. It's taken them a long time to do it but the new numbers are a definite improvement.

    A survey of those involved in the arts with an input to ticket pricing, their views on dynamic pricing, discounting and so on. https://www.artsprofessional.co.uk/pulse/survey-report/pulse-report-art-pricing NB I think this is possibly the same agency that produced the article re ROH pricing a while back.
