    Yep - I edited my monster mix up in my message! I’ll be seeing the Sunday matinee

    I’ll be seeing it in Copenhagen with the RDB in November! ….RUBBISH I‘m going mad - it’s the Dante Project I’m seeing!!! 😂

    In the end I caved in and booked two tickets for final eve Dante…
  4. Vanartus
    No, you made the right choice in 2018 with Mayerling! Regret nothing!

    It’s very sad. This will be my last year as a (basic) Friend. I’ve been one since 1976, but it just doesn’t seem to be worthwhile anymore. And I’m shocked at the latest price rises, particularly for Don Q. I’ll still try and get a couple of tickets for the Osipova dates, but I’m going to see Dante In Copenhagen in November so I’ll skip London unless I can get a cheap deal. Otherwise it’ll be just the Ashton and MacMillan bills, with Manon if the casting calls…Amphi sides only for all!

    Oh sorry you didn’t see this, but the ticket did find a good home - he was totally floored by Sacré. It was my third attempt to see it - missed Bausch company, missed ENB and now Berlin. I’m cursed never to see it!

    Would anyone like my ticket for Staatsballett Berlin Petruschka and Bausch Rite of Spring tonight? I can’t get back to Berlin today and I don’t want the ticket (Erster Rang, Reihe 3, Platz 14 so good seat) to go unused - it’s free! DM me.

    …oh and Month in a Country! How could I forget?

    I moved down to London in 1976 to do my PGCE at Goldsmiths. I was really lucky to catch her last years with the Royal. I saw her in Sleeping Beauty, Manon, Mayerling, Dances at a Gathering, Gloriana, Voluntaries and a John Neumeier work - Third Symphony which didn’t stay in the rep. Oh and The Concert! I was incredibly privileged to see her in so many roles.

    I enjoyed all parts of the triple bill and felt privileged to have seen it. I thought the new McGregor amazing. Loved the music especially, and the set and costumes were wonderful. If that’s a case of the Emperor’s new clothes, then all hail, and I’ll order the whole collection. Wish I could have seen it again, so much to see and take in. I liked Corybantic Games the first time round, but really liked it this time - particularly the revised Erdem costumes. Some great stand-out moments. The original one-act version of Anastasia is the one I actually prefer. Happy to see the later three-act extended piece, but less is more in my opinion. I thought it was a great piece to end a thrilling evening!

    …will see the final show on June 24 - thank heavens I booked early!
  13. Vanartus
    Agree… and while “I’m/we’re at it” @Fonty if the pointe shoe fits - or glass slipper - then my comment referring to Wayne McGregor getting routinely slammed, does apply to you because you had previously agreed with another post where some sort of mutual severance from the RB should be on the cards! But it applies to all the others who routinely join in the criticism, not just you.
  14. Vanartus
    It’s happened to me and I quite agree!
  15. Vanartus
    …for some he seems not able to do anything right!
  16. Vanartus
    Could you explain your comment “in true McG style…”, is he known for late starts? Any proof/concrete examples?
  17. Vanartus
    Well if this is the reaction to the ballet before its premiere, I can’t wait for the reaction after! 🤣
  18. Vanartus
    Heavens - that really is ballet planning on the edge of your seat! I live in Berlin, so the earlier I know about RB casting, the more relaxed I am. The funny thing is, the RB is now the only company I bother about casting. I tend to prioritise Osipova, and then I’ll try for Hayward. Otherwise I’ll go for dates rather than faces. With my adopted city of Berlin, I’ve deliberately remained unattached from casts. There’s a certain feeling of liberation and consequent relaxation!

    Hopefully the long trousers!

    Manon Sylvia MaddAddam Alice in Wonderland Infra/My Brother, MySisters/Jazz Calendar The Dream/Song of the Earth Giselle Onegin …and some surprises!

    …I thought Cinderella‘a father was the spitting image of Karl Lagerfeld!
  22. Vanartus
    Oh wow…this got me!
  23. Vanartus
    A role I remember her in was the lead ballerina in Glen Tetley’s Voluntaries. Stunning.
  24. Vanartus
    A wonderful statement - from State Opera House - on every possible level. Spot on!
  25. Vanartus
    I totally agree. The reasons for this situation are complex, and deeply felt by two strong and respected people. It is highly regrettable, but these concerns need to be approached with sensitivity and trust. These concerns are real, whatever opinions people may have. Using words like “pathetic” do not help.
