I have it from a reliable source that there'll be a new Lilac Fairy making her debut this time round.  Not sure I can say who yet but I for one am looking forward to seeing this dancer have a go.

Can we play a guessing game about who it is on the dark web? 😄

Does anyone have a time machine I can borrow?

This is so tough, as even the same dancers had little differences in early and later performances. Very few dancers were anything other than fabulous

Cinderella - Yasmine Naghdi
Prince -  Matthew Ball
Fairy Godmother - Mayara Magri
Sisters - Luca Acri just nudges past James Hay for bending back further when his chin is repositioned by the dance master...and Bennet Gartside 
Spring -  Isabella Gasparini
Summer - Yuhui Choe
Autumn - Meaghan Grace Hinkis for the wow factor for the final two spins 

Winter -  Gina Storm Jensen...She just looks so wintery!!!
Jester  - Marco Masciari

Wellington - Lukas......serious man-crush there

Napoleon - Joshua Junker

Annoyed party attendee at start of Act 3 - Maddison Pritchard 

Coach hauling mouse - front left

They bump into each other rather too often...

They do....they only need the one they do when big sister is calling out to timid sister in act 1

Which step sister jokes do you think have stood the test of time and which need to be left out of the next run?

For the chop......virtually every 'standing on the other's foot' moment.

Junker evidently isn't the dancer I thought was him, as I thought he was fairly tall but he evidently isn't if he's playing Napoleon. Has anyone got any curtain call photos of him?

Napoleon doesn't appear in the curtain calls, unfortunately.

For it to happen that one time you look I agree that it’s not yet paid for but I get the same price range available every time I look  too. Must be a glitch 

I think Richardson is great as a sister, the one thing I wish he'd do is fully drop his dress when he kisses the prince....it hangs from his right arm on both occasions I've seen him.....and the only times I've ever seen an orange hit the floor is when he throws it over his shoulder in act 2, last night he promptly dropped the small one too

I am very curious to know what you think of the stepisters, James and Calvin. Why no one says anything about them or very little? I think they are the step-sister duo with the fewest mentions on the forum. Any reason for that?

I don't know how many times Calvin has been a sister but there were mentions after his debut

So you mean the 27th, not the 29th?  I will change the title to make it clear.

No, I'm going to the 27th performance....it's the evening performance of the 29th...as I've said above

I think only 12th May affects ballet at the Opera House, it being Osipova's Sleeping Beauty performance

And they're back....strikes have been announced for 12 May, 31 May, and 3 June (FA Cup Final day, just to rub it in for the two teams from Manchester)

Is this evening?

 

It is, yes. The Morera & Ball cast.

Available for purchase is the highly desirable D1 position in the Stalls Circle…probably the last chance to see Morera in a tutu on the ROH stage…and only £12 

Please message if interested 

Happy with the productions named but why on earth have we got Dante again so soon? 

I thought the announcement was at 10, the email is a bit premature

Natalia Osipova is the most convincing Cinderella in having us believe her broom is a real partner… 

And seems dazzled by the spectacle in front of her at the end of her act 3 entrance.

Marco Masciari was every bit as good as I hoped he’d be.

These sisters seem to have added a few embellishments I’d not seen previously, Gary Avis does a second necklace twirl in act 1 and Luca Acri rolls along the floor after his trip of the bottom step in act 2

Calvin doing a great job as a Sister….and Gina too as FG
