    Does anybody know if Calvin Richardson is injured? He did like one show at the start of the run and hasn't been on stage since

    According to today' s cast sheet, James Large will be doing both Russian and Chinese dance lol. I imagine that's a typo again?

    Thanks all for enlightening me re the status of "Het" as a legitimate nickname for Het Nationale Ballet. I still hate it, but will have to accept it now :))

    Just out of curiosity and very off topic: do people realise the "Het" part in "Het Nationale Ballet" is the definite article in Dutch meaning "The"? As in "The National Ballet"? I cringe just a little bit every time I see people call it "Het" 🙂

    Why hasn't this been announced anywhere?

    Yes. Lemme just put that in the script real quick... Any ideas on how Hans Peter might fit into this version? Or do we leave him out entirely to also make it into a feminist critique in which she don't need no man to save the world? Just kidding ofc :))

    I reckon then that midway through the first act the tree in the back should loose all its needles because it's too hot and dry. So Clara decides to go on a journey to tell all the land of Sweets characters about the dangers of global warming. The sugar plum fairy and cavalier in this new version represent our capitalist overlords who do not heed her warnings, so at the end she returns home disillusioned to a dead Christmas tree.

    I think the thing with McGregor is, for me at least, that if you come to the ballet looking for a nice story, you might be often disappointed. I personally always feel at the end of a McGregor ballet that I've seen something, whether it was supposed to be a narrative or not, and I'll always be impressed and a bit overwhelmed in a good way. If I would try to make actual sense of his 'contortions', I don't think I'd get it either. Just sitting back and letting the performance come over me is usually what works, but to each their own.

    I wasn't paying attention so I sort of read that as Marco Masciari, and for a minute I was imagining what that might look like. Have to say I wouldn't mind it :))

    I'm pretty sure in Ancient Greek classes we used to say A-ne-moy, but, due to changing pronounciation rules over the years, in Modern Greek it would in fact be pronounced A-ne-mi. So I guess both could be correct :))

    I like the little self produced insights into the dancer's daily lives, as it does indeed humanize them to a certain degree, which I don't mind, because I've found that in my eyes it doesn't take away from their etherealness on stage. Granted, I've never seen any British company live (only through streams and DVD's) due to living in another country, so that might be why I'm not bothered with some extra content. I'm also confused on what specific people are referred to when speaking about almost indecent pictures (can only think of one off the top of my head), as I've found most content is rather tame. In the end, you choose who to follow and who to unfollow, but I've personally yet to see someone post something that makes me change my mind about their performances

    In general, how much choice do dancers have to perform or not perform a certain repertoire? If for example Pite or Mcgregor comes in at the RB looking to cast however many people, could any dancer straight up refuse to be in a work or is that a privilege reserved for principals? I've always wondered how that works.

    For Untitled 2023, it looks like some of the ladies are on pointe and some aren't (eg Anna Rose O Sullivan is, Melissa Hamilton isn't)? How does this choice affect the look and feel of the choreography, for the people that have seen it? I imagine it's a bit more comfortable to not have to do them crazy extensions on pointe for a change.

    There are some dancers vaguely in the background of some of the rehearsal pics doing the same choreography as the main cast, so they probably had at least some kind of second cast in case of injury

    Has there been any indication that it will be streamed?
