Also, he danced the lead role in Ashton‘s Symphonic variations when he had barely been one year in the Company: https://rohcollections.org.uk/performance.aspx?performance=29425&row=115 -
for sale Manon March 8 7.30pm Upper Amphi R67 £49
Bluebird replied to Bluebird's topic in Ticket Exchange & Special Offers
Ticket returned to Box Office -
Having just managed to get a cheaper seat for Alex Campbell's last performance of Manon next Friday, March 8, I now have a spare ticket. Before returning it to the Box Office I thought I'd check to see if anybody wanted it. It's in the Upper Amphitheatre, R67 (one in from the aisle in the centre block) and is a full view seat costing £49. If interested, please post here and also send me a PM.

Cuts to the arts in Birmingham
Bluebird replied to Lynette H's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
BRB Friends' booking for Sadler's Wells always opens on the same day as the priority booking for Sadler's Wells Members. The date has not yet been announced. BRB Friends' priority booking for Plymouth is, however, now open. -
They were still doing the Macmillan Rite of Spring in 2012. I've even managed to find a balletcoforum thread on the programme in which it was featured ( Beyond Ballets Russes): Edited as I forgot to provide the link: Another edit as I hadn't read further down the thread and now see that Emeralds had already mentioned the 2012 run.

Yes. By deleting my original post, I also deleted the additional information that, in both cases, Stix-Brunell was chosen to replace other dancers - I believe she was replacing Nuñez as Alice and Cuthbertson as Princess Rose. Edit: simultaneous posting with Bangorballetboy!

Original post deleted as memory confused me. Wheeldon did choose Stix-Brunell as Alice when she was only 19 but Prince of the Pagodas was NOT his ballet. It is, of course, a Macmillan ballet. Senior moment! Apologies to Blossom and Richard LH who have already 'liked' my inaccurate post! Nonetheless, Stix-Brunell did dance the principal role in Prince of the Pagodas when she was only 19 - i.e. she danced two principal roles (Alice and Princess Rose) in her second year in the Company

Royal Ballet Summer Season 2024 Prices
Bluebird replied to Bluebird's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
I omitted to compare these prices to the Swan Lake prices for the same seats. Stalls Circle Bench Seats in Row C are £49 (compared to £75 for Swan Lake) and in Row B are £63 (compared to £118 for Swan Lake) This is why I commented on how good this news was for those who like to sit in these seats! I also omitted to compare the price of the good seats in the Upper Slips to the price of the same seats for Swan Lake. £14 for The Winter's Tale and £23 for Swan Lake. Therefore the return to the Manon pricing structure is also good news for those who like to sit in the Upper Slips. I haven't checked the rest of the prices. Apart from those who like to sit in the front side amphitheatre, are any other readers suffering from the return to the Manon pricing structure?- 13 replies

I just had a look at the prices for the Summer Season. We already know the Swan Lake pricing (the same as it is for the Spring run and similar to that for last season's Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella) https://www.roh.org.uk/seatmap?performanceId=54784 For The Winter's Tale, however, they've gone back to the Manon pricing structure. https://www.roh.org.uk/seatmap?performanceId=54813 This is good news for those who sit on the bench seats in the stalls circle (seats in the bench seats in row C are £49 and the cheaper seats in row B are £63). It is, however, bad news for those who like to sit in the front side amphitheatre seats. These will be the same price as they were for Manon - £49 (compared to £35 for Swan Lake) Stalls Circle Standing and all Upper Slips seats are priced at £14 - again, the same pricing structure as that which was used for Manon. Here are the seating charts for the two Ashton bills: The Dream mixed: https://www.roh.org.uk/seatmap?performanceId=54801 Les Rendezvous mixed: https://www.roh.org.uk/seatmap?performanceId=54837

The Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday evening performances have always been mainly Upper School. The Friday evening and the Saturday afternoon performances have always been mainly White Lodge. I don’t imagine it will be any different this year,

I've been wondering if the London dates might not be accurate. BRB are usually at Sadler's Wells from a Tuesday or Wednesday to a Saturday (i.e. with two performances on the Saturday). The dates given for the new work, Luna, are Tuesday October 22 and Wednesday October 23. The dates given for Fille are Thursday October 24 and Friday October 25. I've never known them come to Sadler's Wells and not perform on the Saturday. I could be wrong but I suspect that the Fille dates might well be October 25 and 26.

Ticket taken -
Already posted in the tickets forum but am repeating here: I'm unable to use my ticket for tomorrow's rehearsal of La Bohème (Monday January 22 at 4.30pm) It's an aisle seat in the front side amphitheatre (E81) and is available free of charge to anybody who is able to use it. If interested, please send me a PM and also post here. Let me know today as it will otherwise be donated back to the Box Office tomorrow.
