    I was interested in the evening tickets because so any of the were stalls, and expensive seats, whole rows, then they're gone. They don't seem like the kind of tickets people pick up last minute at those prices. It's all very odd.

    If she could just let us know when, we could all be ready for her

    I would love to know how big sections of empty seats suddenly disappear, it seems almost impossible to shift quite so any so quickly.

    I thought that, there were so many tickets yesterday, including boxes, and a lot in the stalls, and now they're all gone all of a sudden? It seems very strange that they would all go last minute.

    This is such a strange way to vote, just odd.

    I haven't read his book, so that's interesting. It's fascinating how there's so many doing the same thing with different processes.

    There's a lot to think about too, so with it being a different beast. When performing on the stage, that performance has to reach the amphitheatre, but the same performance that's being captured by film will also be using close ups, so it's about finding the balance of not being overdone in the close up, but still reaching those far away audience members. I don't know if anyone has watched Kathryn Morgan and her deconstruction of Nunez's black swan, which is fascinating anyway, but she says a few times about her choice, that she doesn't want to overshoot something and be messy, so she's making a safe choice, and obviously that was for a cinema screening, so it adds to the insight of what you go for when you know it's being projected.

    It's interesting when I've heard a few speak about being filmed/cinema casts, in that they have to give a little more in some places, but hold a little back in others because they're very aware that if they fall that'll forever be on film and they don't really want that. I find it so interesting that those performances are somewhat held back to a degree compared to how they might normally go into it.

    Sometimes we can't help but compare, other times it helps to try to forget those previous things and go in with no expectations and let that cast take you away. Thanks, I'm OK, it does happen but it is what it is. I was looking forward to the cast, especially Marci, who I always love to see.

    Funily enough, I think the opening night really set the bar exceptionally high. So much so that I had tickets for last night (I really wanted to see Natalia) and the person I took to opening night said they didn't want to go as nothing could really be as good again, they thought they would be picking fault for not living up to it. I myself couldn't go yesterday as I was having a bad pain flare up.

    This must be something he loves to do, he also picked Marianela as his own Kitri to replace his injured partner when she was only a FS.

    Well, is it though? Every dancer reaches a level or limit, and I am a fan of Gasparini, but I'd say first soloist of the Royal is probably about the right level for both dancers and there's no shame or insult in that. Maybe they would be a principal in another company, but there's a stable full of principals at the RB. I think Valentino said something along those lines in that documentary.

    I had a look in my inbox and I've been sent a 25% discount for Anemoi and The Cellest.

    She's just such a beautiful dancer to watch, so ethereal at times, I hate to think of her injured and she seems to get so unlucky with injuries.
  15. emmarose
    I'm just so upset for Akane, such a beautiful dancer who keeps being held back by injury. I hope she recovers quickly.

    I agree with the why but I disagree completely with the mandatory retirement age, if it's to be followed Marianela Nunez would be forced into retirement and scenes like last Saturday would be denied of to her and the audiences who have been provided so much joy from her artistry.

    I've had my eye on him for a while, it's good to see he's being used a little bit more, I think he's someone who is going to have a stellar career and I can't wait to see him climb through the ranks.
  18. emmarose
    Completely agree, although I think he's terrific in pretty much anything, but this is exciting!
  19. emmarose
    This was probably a symptom of having to wait so long between the opening and another cast taking to the stage, we don't have anyone else to talk about yet!

    I'm almost reluctant to say this, but you're right in what you say, it won't last forever, and Vadim (from his Dance Europe interview) is very aware of this. He spoke about his impatience during lockdown that these were his prime years and he was stuck not dancing and that has led to him taking up a lot of offers to guest around the world. I hate to think it, but if the RB do not use him to his advantage, there may come a time when he thinks he might be better used in a different company that might make better use of him in the latter years of his career. I hope it doesn't come to that, but I also hope that he's better used. I am honestly baffled that his beautiful style and technique do not inspire anyone at all that are currently on the Royal's payroll.
  21. emmarose
    I come back to my point I've made earlier, Vadim is one of the most talented classical dancers in the world and there is nobody at the royal who is creating anything ON him, seems a complete waste at times.

    Lucky them!

    What a shame for us, but obviously a joy for others who get to benefit. I did see they're going somewhere with Sleeping Beauty in December too.
  24. emmarose
    They are indomitable! And obviously they cannot get enough of Don Q!
  25. emmarose
    My word! And then they'll have to come back and forget it all and go back to the RB version. This seems a lot more difficult than going over and doing a completely different ballet.
