Marianela posted rehearsing Swan Lake on her Instagram yesterday as well, so could be workload management for her as well?

Anna-Rose O'Sullivan has just posted on her Instagram stories (only available for 24hrs) that she's "out for a little bit of time to heal an injury" - hopefully nothing too serious!

I saw a photo of Reece Clark on instagram being coached in Different Drummer by Wayne Eagling this week. It was posted by ”dancersdiary” but on the stories so only available for 24hrs

Cast list for tonight: https://www.roh.org.uk/tickets-and-events/43/manon-by-kenneth-macmillan/cast-list/54640

Wow, he will be very missed! This does explain his lack of casting in anything after Manon. Will definitely try and see if there are returns for the 8th March Manon performance now!

Graham Watts posted on his Instagram that Koen Kessels is stepping down from BRB at the end of this season

The extortionate prices for Swan Lake don't seem to be putting people off - no stalls or grand tier available on the opening night!!

Francesca has danced Manon a few times now, she last performed with Alexander Campbell. She was brilliant, definitely my number 1 choice for the role at the moment!

I've just been sent an invite to test the new ROH Livestream feature on the ROH Stream channel - email contents pasted below. Perhaps this is paving the way to being able to live stream performances from your TV, maybe replacing or in alongside the Cinema Relays? As a subscriber of Royal Opera House Stream, I’d like to invite you to take part in a trial of our new livestreaming feature. We will be livestreaming Insights: Photographing The Dante Project with Mary McCartney on 30 November 2023 at 7.30pm BST to invited audiences on Royal Opera House Stream. If you are selected to take part, you will be able to watch the performance free of charge on a laptop, desktop, tablet, mobile device, or using one of our TV apps. The performance will then be available to watch on the platform for 72 hours. In return, I will send you a feedback form following the livestream that will ask about your experience and help our team make improvements. This should take no more than 15 minutes of your time. You will also be able to report any technical issues or share ideas for improvement in real-time on the Royal Opera House Stream website. If you would like to participate, please fill out this brief form with your details (less than five minutes). We appreciate your help!

The casting is already up on the website - makes a change! https://www.roh.org.uk/tickets-and-events/43/anemoi-the-cellist-by-valentino-zucchetti-and-cathy-marston/cast-list/54542

Totally agree with this!

Luke Jennings has just published an article in response to the Panorama programme, a very good read I think https://thirdcast.wordpress.com/2023/09/19/if-i-had-a-knife/?fbclid=PAAaZZpM20Iboib6ggZVxWIL26w9IBAsyvUpTRUb_loT5Psea1AVl3TAfgFxQ_aem_AYnxViBdJe8lfbg21ZGNeK4YtKiIdfIJt7E6y5NERmf--QvH4sn3aewuOdwQQOBNwVo

As someone who boarded from 11 and loved it, I would agree with this!

The ROH have just announced it on their Instagram account

I've just seen on Instagram that there is going to be a photo book of Marianela Nunez, 'Moments with Marianela' published in November. All photos taken by Maria-Helena Buckley who I think takes a lot of the rehearsal type photos that appear on Marianela's Instagram. It's published by Scala Arts & Heritage Publishers - more info here: https://scalapublishers.com/moments-with-marianela/ and you can already pre-order from Amazon here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Moments-Marianela-Núñez/dp/1785514733/ref=sr_1_1?crid=HZ9UBGFWM8GW&keywords=moments+with+marianela&qid=1693300676&sprefix=moments+with+marianela%2Caps%2C104&sr=8-1
