    No she definitely did it. Dunno, maybe she found it negligible (or couldn't see it from her seat?). I doubt it was a double

    Pity, I was really looking forward to seeing him again, although his farewell performance was such a thing of beauty that I can live off that memory. And Fumi and William doing Swan Lake! If they're half as good as they were in Romeo and Juliet the audience is really in for a treat.

    Lovely! Although I hope some of the original dancers announced whose names didn't make it to the poster are still involved!

    Financial Times compared Naghdi/Muntagirov and Kaneko/Bonelli, but I was disappointed by how little they actually talked about the dancers
  5. AnticaFiamma
    I wonder if there really are more names to be announced? Considering that it's 48 hours away
  6. AnticaFiamma
    Yeah I had my money on Bonelli & Kaneko doing Swan Lake and Osipova & Clarke doing R&J. It's a good thing I'm not a gambling man!

    I was left a bit underwhelmed tonight, I liked it but didn't love it. There was obviously loads to enjoy: I particularly liked the Neapolitan dance, Calvin Richardson's gorgeous Benno (such a beautiful line, pity he doesn't have his solo bow at curtain call!) and William Bracewell's Siegfried. He's such a beautiful, poignant dancer and a subtle actor as well: his movements are very lyrical but also pregnant with meanings, and in the first act his Siegfried could be easily mistaken for Hamlet. And his variations in act 3 were so good, very elegant without showing off. I was not as convinced by Francesca. There was nothing particularly wrong with hrr performance, but all the pairs we've seen so far were so exquisite and all the debuts so well realized that tonight felt a little off by comparison. Obviously she's a very fine dancer (those arabesque!), I liked the subtle characterisation of Odile, and she was great in act 4. But in act 2 and 3 I thought she wasn't quite there yet, it felt slightly underpowered and she seemed to me a little slow at times. I didn't love how far towards the orchestra she travelled during the fouettes, Bracewell completely outshone her technically there. The last ten minutes of Act 3 generally leave me with a rush of adrenaline that I definitely didn't feel tonight. She'll get there for sure, I have no doubt of that, but in a season with so many accomplished and fully realised debuts this is still a bit of a work in progress for me.

    What do we think they'll be rehearsing on the insight event on the 17th? The New Kyle Abraham / Solo Echo / DGV: Danse à grande vitesse?

    May I ask where are the seats located?
  12. AnticaFiamma
    ooh that's exciting! He's very underused, but I always thought that his lead mandolin dancer was a highlight in R&J

    Edward Watson just received an Olivier Award nomination for his performance

    I saw it three times from stall circle right in the past week and I am yet to see the moon!

    True, but if it's really his last public appearance they could have remarked it in some way. For instance the digital sheet of the 3/12 performance of Giselle said "Tonight we celebrate Laura Morera’s 25 years with The Royal Ballet since joining the Company in 1995". I'm surprised not to see even something like that
  17. AnticaFiamma
    The cast sheet says nothing about tonight being Bonelli's farewell performance... odd

    Thank you for posting your pictures, they're a beautiful way to remember a nigth to treasure!

    Really enjoyed act 1 & 2. Although the boys were somewhat less precise than on opening night, the whole thing didn't feel as gloomy as it was on Tuesday (imho). Really looking forward to the engagement party, Clarke and Osipova are unsurprisingly brilliant!

    Amazing debut tonight

    Realistically removing all that ink will take years. Still, the removal is for aesthetic reasons not political
  23. AnticaFiamma
    He might, although the tweet seems to suggest Friday is the farewell performance:
  24. AnticaFiamma
    Honestly tho, his eyes looks different in all his pics! i've been scrolling through twitter and insta and still can't say if they're brown, grey or what. I'd say green?
  25. AnticaFiamma
    I assume you mean Ukraine! But it's very possible, they announced that the Ukrainian anthem will be played before every performance this week so he'll probably come to announce that at the very least
