Royal Ballet Winter 2019/20 casting
Shade replied to Lizbie1's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
A further thought - it would be a tragedy if the current wonderful RB dancers didn’t get the opportunity to dance in these productions in their home theatre for their home audience- 302 replies

Royal Ballet Winter 2019/20 casting
Shade replied to Lizbie1's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
I would be sorry to lose either of these productions. I don’t want to wait for the Russian companies to tour them. I would be very interested in Ratmansky’s reconstruction of Bayadere though. I think Minkus has a bad press!- 302 replies

Upcoming DVD/Blu-ray Releases
Shade replied to charliewise's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
Thanks Stevie for your reply. What I meant was the filming as in sometimes the camera is directed at the wrong dancer, or at the face only when you want to see the feet as well etc. I will go ahead and buy this blu ray to add to my collection. -

Thanks but the filming itself can change the perspective of the performance - hard to explain what I mean exactly. -

Is it a good performance though as I missed that in the Theatre, -
Takes ‘open up’ to another level! However, the ROH visitors may be perceived as easy and affluent targets

Bolshoi Cinema Broadcasts discussion, 2019-20
Shade replied to alison's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Thanks Maryrose for the review. The Bolshoi production has some good points but I preferred BRBs. However, the precision of the Bolshoi swans I remember from last Summer was fantastic.- 53 replies

Royal Ballet Onegin 2020
Shade replied to Richard LH's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
I enjoyed the beauty of the dancing last night but my emotions were mostly unstirred, with the exception of Lensky’s death. It was all a bit ‘meh’.- 410 replies

Royal Ballet Onegin 2020
Shade replied to Richard LH's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Thanks for the review Lin. coincidentally I have just finished reading Dr Zivhago and to me the book is more about Russia and the great upheavals of war and revolution, rather than the relationship between Lara and Yury. However, no reason it couldn’t be inspired by the film. Sim - I learnt about the etiquette of duels from reading georgette Heyer’s regency novels!- 410 replies

BRB A Valentine’s Celebration of Music and Dance
Shade replied to CCL's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
I hope you have a lovely time. I would have liked to have seen this so look forward to hearing reports. -
Very sorry to hear of this cast change for you Sim, especially when travel arrangements have been made etc. Ms Lawrence is down to dance another performance I think though. There is no excuse for poor communication in this era and a lack of communication suggests a cavalier attitude to customers.

Alison I agree it’s very frustrating that the “News” section doesn’t highlight cast changes any more. I find out more from Balletco to be frank- 302 replies

Very sad that my long planned trip to see Onegin has been subject to the cast changes. It is not what I booked for so I returned the ticket. Hope it's a great performance for everyone.- 410 replies

I am sure that single use plastic cups will not be available in the future. I do try to remember to carry one if I can. But all food and drink should be banned from auditorium
