I have seen the same setting about a week ago and posted My horrid experience under The "new" Royal Opera House, Covent Garden thread, Page 31. My writing may not be clear, but I felt exactly the same. If ROH thinks their web site needs to be updated, please be user friendly & less clickings. I do hope this make over site would be ended just an experiment.

I have an awful difficulty with the updated ROH site. After clicking what's on, Tickets and Events pops up which is too loud to my taste. Then I get lost. Not easy to find the performances I am after. My smart phone still shows previous version which lists up the event chronologically and which works better for me. I can see what is coming at one grance instead of multiple clickings. Internet Explorer displays the new version. Chrome and safari display the previous or current version which is familiar to us all. *added browser details.

NA is short for New Adventures. But this Swan Lake is also known MB Swan Lake as Sim refers.

I might’ve beaten you Looking forward ENB’s feedback.

Pleased to hear

Sorry to hear the technical issue. When I sootted this offer, I already purchased my tickets through Coli Box Office. Therefore I wasn’t aware of the issue. Hope it has been sorted and got your wished tickets.

Last minute offers more disocounted seats to selected dates. Parts of Dress Circle and Upper Circle are included this time. And you can choose your seat. https://www.lastminute.com/tickets/london-theatre/dance/manon-english-national-ballet

The role of Herr Drosselmeyer has been replaced by Thomas Whitehead, evening show on 28 December. Originally Benett Gartside was casted. https://www.roh.org.uk/events/cfp7r

Thiago Soares mentioned it in his interview to Dancing Times long time ago that he was dancing mail roles with the previous company, but his frist roles with RB was one of coffin beares in Mayerling. It was a shock to him. Since then he got promoted to Principal and casted Prince Rudolf for some seasons.

By chance, I spotted Sophie Allnat has joined RB as Artist. http://www.roh.org.uk/people/sophie-allnatt

That is also my point. Various ways to reach the detailed information is ok, but the same result should appear.

I checked 16 Feb casting by three different routes. Route1 Home - What’s on - Productions - The Royal Ballet School/Two pigeons dates - 16 Feb date The casting link is https://www.roh.org.uk/productions/the-royal-ballet-school-by-liam-scarlett It shows 3 names to each main roles. F Hayward/W Bracewell/F Kaneko/V Zuccheti team is not listed. Route2 Home - What’s on - calendar pick up 16 Feb - pick up The Royal Ballet School/Two pigeons F Hayward/W Bracewell/F Kaneko/V Zuccheti team appears. The link is https://www.roh.org.uk/events/2jz77 Route3 Home - What’s on - pick up Winter period from either under calendar - scroll dow and open ‘view winter 2018/19 calendar of events’ pick up The Royal Ballet School/Two pigeons on 16 Feb F Hayward/W Bracewell/F Kaneko/V Zuccheti team appears. The link is https://www.roh.org.uk/events/2jz77 You can see there are two links which shows completely different names. Majority of people go to Route1 way unless you want to know what is offered on the specific date. I would say not many people go to Route3 unless you know it does exist Thank you for BBB for sharing what we could do with this page. I have checked just one casting and what I have just written is as of now. The links may talk the same language at some point. Now I would like to know which one is correct. Also I would like ROH website team to polish dancer’s profile page. Please add the role and performing date when dancers are casted main role. Currently the programme link is embedded. It is an extra work, but it is clearer to us.

Stuttgart Ballet recently opened the season with triple bills witch includes Symphony in C. The casting of all programmes was announced about 10 days prior to the first night. December/January and July castings are to be confirmed as of today. Royal Ballet is probably one of few companies announces the castings months in advance. Other case I know is oversea companies visiting Japan, especially Tokyo. The promotors do know if they don't announce the castings before the booking open date, the ticket sales would be slow. Deciding Symphony in C and Infra castings might be more complicated than we think. But I would like to know it before the tickets are sold out.

In general, yes. But current La Bayadere is a different story. Some casts start with Nikiya snd some starts with Solor. On top of it, listing the concert master in the same line with main dancers is also confusing to me.

Thank you, Capybara. Glad to hear that Joseph A is joining RB.

I went throught the dancer list, but I can't find Joseph Aumeer. Is his name slipped by error or him chaning the direction?

Balcony seat is offered £10 from £18. https://www.fromtheboxoffice.com/city/2957-london/JH96-english-national-ballet-manon/

Thank you for explanation.

I am confused about Shale Wagman’s status. ENB announced Shale joinjng as Artist. Prix de Lausanne site states apprenticeship offered. A couple of more Prix de Lausanne winners are joining ENB. Both apprenticeship offered is remarked. https://www.prixdelausanne.org/schools-and-companies-chosen-by-the-prize-winners-2018/

Before cinema screening was introduced, live relay at Trafalgar Square started 15 minutes late. Main role dancers were ushered to the minibus and escorted to Trafalgar Square and bowed to the audience. I can't remember the year, but Onegin by Alina Cojocaru and Johan Kobborg at one occasion. Romeo and Juliet by Sarah Lamb and Slava Samdurov, I think in 2008. Onegin public screening inspired Reid Anderson. Stuttgart Ballet's annual public screening at the park started because of this.

I can't remember exact year, but Alina Cojocaru and Steven McRae danced The Stars and Stirpes pdd at ROH. It was gala performance. But in general, it is not performed here in UK.

The programme was Part1 Flower Festival inGenzano pdd Emma Riis-Kofoed/Francesco Mura Grand pas de Classique Dorothee Gilbert/Marcin Kupinski The Sleeping Beauty gpdd Ida Praetorius/Semyon Chudin Fatherland Muser Sussanne Grinder/Kizzy Matiakis/Amy Watson Swamp pdd from Manon J'amie Crandall/Reece Clarke Stars and Stripes Lauren Lovette/Ulrik Birkkjaer Part2 Etudes Holly Jean Dorger/Andreas Kaas Jonathan Chemelensky, Jon Axel Fransson

Reece posted Manon swamp pdd rehearsal with Giordana Gallo. You could still see the short film on his instagram story.

The casting is up. https://kglteater.dk/en/whats-on/season-20172018/ballet/the-queen-of-spades/

Benjamin Buza is casted as Narumov. Possibly on first night.
