  1. yes wonderful moderation as naomi wants now to stop posting here....
  2. I don't agree at all ! I think that someone, as a moderator, should be glad that people are posting (from the other side of the world ) to give some news and not tell them how they should present their text. But I stop losing my time to write about things that have absolutely no importance.
  3. I think it would be better to say thank you to Jenny Taylor to give us some informations about a performance... It is not difficult to understand who is being discussed with the complete text of NaomiM !
  4. What an incredible chance for this talented young dancer ! https://www.mariinsky.ru/en/playbill/playbill/2019/7/19/1_1930
  5. Highlights Ratmansky trilogy - SFBallet @ Sadler's Wells opening night of Swan Lake - ENB @ Coliseum Matthew Ball in Mayerling Beatrix Stix Brunell and Calvin Richardson in Within the Golden Hour Downlights Medusa (what a waste of talent) Winter Dreams (after Judas Tree last season I start to consider MacMillan as an overrated choreographer...) Hirano in Winter Dreams - how can you cast this type of dancer in a dramatic ballet ? Fumi Kaneko and Daniel Camargo in Don Quixote - where you can see that wonderful technique is not everything...
  6. The Defile should be performed twice 😂 It always seems far too short !
  7. Why Corrales and not Sambé with Osipova ? now that he is a principal...
  8. With this news they should change their plans and announce the rest of the promotions today 😀 But the RB press department seems to be on holidays at the moment !
  9. what a mess ! 😊 congratulations to him is it the end of the embargo policy ?
  10. Just read these words from KOH in The Japan Times : Ryoichi has taken on the mantle from Edward Watson as the dramatic dancer of the company. Is this a joke ? 😕
  11. Wonderful evening, beautiful company, Ratmansky is a master ! And Sofiane Sylve an exceptional dancer !
  12. Well I agree with you Sim but I must say that, sadly, Paris Opera Ballet has been unable to maintain some parts of their repertoire (Lifar for instance). They even seem to be a second NDT at the moment by the way !
  13. Fumi Kaneko is at the right position as a first soloist with The Royal Ballet. I don't see her as a principal.
  14. Yes I am sure it is good for company morale, we can definitely feel a positive energy ! That said I must mention I was a bit disappointed by those pas de deux, they were ok/good but not what I was expecting from those dancers. As if, sometimes, the choice of what they were dancing was too ambitious for them. But it is maybe how one can progress ! Even McCormick and Velicu were very nervous, with a major problem in the adagio. But how talented they are !
  15. What a shame ! Calvin Richardson was absolutely stunning in tuesday morning rehearsal ! According to the NYTimes Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui was busy working in Munich AND London at the same time and it shows ! Medusa seems so unfinished and the dancers so lost that it is embarrassing for The Royal Ballet (and a waste of time for the audience).
  16. I am afraid the first cast did not have enough rehearsal time either !
  17. After Muntagirov and Corrales, Daniel McCormick seems ready for the Royal Ballet ! Kevin O'Hare can we have him ?
  18. Sumina Sasaki will be joining as Prix de Lausanne apprentice.
