    So this is interesting!! Mukhamedov… I’m seeing the Bejart bill followed by Dante. If the POB interpretation is as good as the Mayerlings I saw last year with Paul Marque and Hugo Marchand then it should be a treat!

    Inevitable once Anastasia was announced - the last sight will be her on a bed aimlessly moving around the stage - yes it’s a great dramatic role but it’s a shame she could not have a more pleasing ‘end of a career vision.’

    Six decades Six pieces representing each decade showing segments of works supported by The Friends Would seem to me a more representative celebration…

    Loved her dancing - I started out ballet watching with London Festival Ballet so I saw many of her performances. So many from that era now gone but it was a glorious company that included Elisabetta Terabust, Eva Evdokimova, Paul Clarke, Maina Gielgud. Very happy memories. Condolences to her family and all who worked or knew her

    Having had a REALLY close look at next season I realise - forgive me if others had already mentioned this - that the season ends with a ballerina on a bed rotating round the stage. Is Anastasia act 3 the most bizarre and depressing ending to a season ever? Do we remember the uplifting endings of previous seasons with ballets such as Symphony in C etc…..

    I’m sad that there is nothing from their back catalogue at all. LFB / ENB we’re my first ballet going company and I look back at the works and casts from that time with huge nostalgia.

    It’s on at Queen Elizabeth hall May 27th & 28th. Cheap tickets seem to have gone already.

    But lots still available next week 🥲

    It’s a perfect meal - tasty tempting starter / delicious main course / gorgeous sweet dessert. I just cannot understand why there are tickets still available!

    I think we should also take into consideration the dancers. With long runs of classics the corp may be stretched at times - covid has not disappeared and next autumn / winter may be a problem again with infections. Keeping the main body of the dancers happy in repetitive performances could be a challenge. Yes, there may be interesting debuts ahead, but even the principals can surely only have a couple of performances of each role ahead of them with large gaps in their schedules - as per this season.

    I’d be very happy to see Corrales in this 👍🏻

    I’ve checked the whole ROH calendar - this is it then. The season of full length works to fill the coffers and the slow demise of varied triple bills. Very disappointed indeed - although happy to see Mayerling and Cinderella back

    There are just 3 performances of this!
  15. PatC
    Where are the triple bills!!!!????

    My first thought during her solo at the Ukrainian gala when she stamped her foot down! I said to myself then ‘don’t mess that foot up!’

    I’m trying to remain calm here - I missed her in 2020 due to shutdown and I’m missing her again tomorrow ….😩

    I was at the general rehearsal yesterday. from my point of view all the issues I had at the premiere are still there. More on that once I’ve seen a couple of performances… However, the finale is frankly awful and a real anti climax - needs to be changed but I doubt that will happen. On a better note - act 3 pdd was very well danced!

    And sadly I was another interval leaver. I was very disappointed with this - is it the subject matter I wonder as no production seems to succeed. I found it all too repetitive - both musically and choreographically. I left feeling nostalgic for some of the ENB back catalogue that seems to have been discarded.

    Oh Kevin.... Great dancing from all, interesting premieres, but what I wanted was light and uplifting for the return to the theatre...

    Change of cast notification..... Corrales now out of Cellist as just back from Italy
  22. PatC
    I so wanted to love this ballet. However it is too long and too busy - as most of us have stated. More thoughts after seeing the second cast I think
