    Further….

    I note the announcement by Wimbledon today, that tennis players from Russia and Belarus will not be participating at those championships this year, whereas they are at Roland Garros.

     

    In my opinion, (and I absolutely abhor everything that is going on), the environment has changed since the RB Swan Lake fundraiser was originally announced.  In the current mode, I’m expecting cast changes.  I’d love for the RB not to have to bow to this pressure, but decisions may be made at higher levels.  It’s all so awful.  

    But hasn’t the Wimbledon ban been made because these players were competing under Russia/Belarus, & thus the countries/regimes would benefit from any potential win? Not sure it’s relevant to the RB. 
     

    Hardly think it’s fair or appropriate to ban dancers based on their nationalities. The dancers in question also live in the UK & have spoken out against the war publically. Where does the line get drawn? Also changing the scheduled Swan Lake due to the Russian origins? 🤔  I’d be disappointed if the RB didn’t apply common sense with this. 

     

    A bit slow with writing this but essentially, fully agree with Sim.

  2. Not sure this is the right thread, but just as a heads up for those wondering about the seat views - was looking for tickets this morning (for Tosca, but tried for Swan Lake & get the same result) & I now get the option to ‘pay using the new checkout’. 
     

    When I selected ‘yes’ to go ahead with that, it took me to a new seating plan which honestly hurts my brain a little (maybe it’s better on a laptop/computer - I’m on mobile). The upside is that the seat view preview is back when you select a seat. 

    Not sure if this is just random, for now, as it does say feedback/suggestions are requested after checkout…

  3. I just happened to be looking at this on the Sadler’s Wells website & noticed the following addition (at least, I don’t remember seeing any cast info before), for anyone interested:

     

    ’The evening culminates in a highly anticipated performance by New York City Ballet, back in London for the first time since 2008. Hot on the heels of its February world premiere in New York, 12 dancers from the illustrious company, including principal stars Sara Mearns and Gonzalo Garcia, will perform Justin Peck’s Rotunda set to a new Nico Muhly composition.’
