    He's the power behind the throne in Tango Dancer's version...can he be that in a cage?
  2. Rob S
    A sanctuary for swan-like people, surely. Would they want to include cis swans?

    Siegfried only gets wet at the end (of this particular production ).So what does Siegfried do, marry a princess and move to Spain/Italy/Poland or Hungary? Or marry Odette and move to LA?
  4. Rob S
    In that case it should be called Swan Like!!🤔

    SCS D9 for Anna Rose O'Sullivan and Marcelino Sambe's Swan Lake debut on Wednesday 9th March. £11 to include a free wave from me from the other side of the auditorium. Thanks

    But she flies away at the end of act 2
  7. Rob S
    When do we see her with him as a human?
  8. Rob S
    Which is fine except real Odette shouldn't be seen at the end at the same time.

    I guess the ending won't change and so that's how we have to force ourselves to look at it but that means Siegfried fell in love with and continues to see only spellbound Odette, not the real one.....Albrecht fell in love with real Giselle

    I think so. I have no problem with the body of a dead spellbound person reverting to their original form when fished out the water....but you don't then have the vision of the spellbound person appear on the rock. We don't have enough time to bond with original Odette so we can't really have her appear as the vision even if it's the correct way round when you have two Odettes on stage. Siegried should see the vision of tutu Odette on the rock when he wakes up. Or he should fish out dead tutu Odette with no vision. Or they should both die and appear as a vision like the old version.

    It would be nice but it's no different to not being told Mercutio in advance, I suppose. What I want to know is why Siegried's sisters are not in the curtain call when Benno is....nowhere to be seen in the curtain call pics from yesterday that I saw. They only seem to appear if the performance is filmed.
  12. Rob S
    If you are going to end with two Odettes you need to correctly work out which version should appear as the vision and which should be the dead body. In my opinion it is currently the wrong way round.

    And her exit, of course
  16. Rob S
    I guess it depends how far to the right you are thinking of...in act one you might not be able to see the gate that the cast walk through to appear on stage, in act 3 you might miss the queen sat on her throne watching all the goings on.
  17. Rob S
    I've got no idea why but when I booked my SCS tickets all I could get for the first wave of performances was for the left...I got some on the right for the second wave.

    Statement from the Royal Opera House By Alex Beard (Chief Executive, Royal Opera House) Monday 28 February 2022, 4pm All of us here at the Royal Opera House are shocked and appalled by the ongoing humanitarian crisis unfolding in Ukraine. As an expression of respect for all those affected by this terrible conflict, we will be lighting our building in the colours of the Ukrainian flag every night this week, and in a moment of reflection playing the national anthem of Ukraine before each performance.

    Not even listed as a change of cast and I've not received an email yet😲
  20. Rob S
    Loving that cast, so pleased to see new names getting significant roles, both as mentioned in that cast list and photos from various dancers on Instagram 🙂
  21. Rob S
    I could understand that if they were having a school matinee prior to what you thought was their debut performance, or if maybe if you had a ticket for the rehearsal and didn't want your enjoyment of seeing Magri's debut lessened by seeing her in the rehearsal as well.
  22. Rob S
    No, he had it down for his final Friar performance.
  23. Rob S
    Yes, their extra long and thick pony tail disguises don't fool me.

    A few observations from yesterday evening....the lights took a while to turn off after Juliet looks up at the audience during her opening scene....the bottle of poison got lost in her scarf after removal it from under the pillow, the scarf had to be laid out on the bed to find it!! Also, a lovely moment from Ashley Dean (as Juliet's friend) in act 2 when Benvolio rescues another friend's flowers from the harlot...Benjamin Ella threw them over his shoulder but they looked to be heading for the floor until Ashley appeared and caught them one handed and then did a little celebratory dance. 🙂
