how bizarre … no publicity?  The audience looked full from Instagram posts at the time. 

Osipova's performance replaced the originally planned performance of Rasputin with Polunin, even the tickets remained valid.  I found information about it on the Internet one day before the performance, at that time it was not sold out, but it was not possible to find accommodation in Kromeriz, it is a small provincial town.

I wonder if this will be the same programme she performed in Kromeriz Castle in Czechia in July? 
 

The other performers there were Jason Kittelberger, Joseph Kudra and Reece Clarke.  
 

Here’s the programme :

- Sleeping Beauty pdd (Natalia & Reece)

- solo (Joseph)

- QUTB (Natalia, Jason, Joseph)

- Valse Triste (Natalia & Reece) 

- Ashes (Natalia & Jason)

- Dance of the Blessed Spirits (Reece)

- Dying Swan (Natalia)

- Le Corsaire (Natalia & Reece)

 

 

Yes, it should be the same performance as in Kromeriz. Unfortunately, this event had no publicity, I found out about it the day before and could not participate. I already have tickets for the December show in Prague and I'm looking forward to it.

They are a very large company and have two major venues, Palais Garnier the original Paris Opera House, and Opera Bastille. So they have more scope to dance both traditional and new choreography.

Yes, it is a large company and the soloists and choir are of a high standard. Before the holidays, they presented Giselle at the Palais Garnier and Balanchin's A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Opera Bastille simultaneously in one evening. I was lucky enough to see both performances (in two evenings, of course) and they were both great.

For me  the best Rudolf Friedemann Vogel from Stuttgart is, whom I saw live this June. I am very curious about Vadim in this role. And I would like to see one of the soloists of the Ballet Paris Opera in the autumn Mayerling production at the Garnier Palace, especially Hugo Marchand.

This year I saw Friedemann Vogel in the role of Rudolf in Stuttgart, and he was realy great. I'm glad to be able to compare it to Vadim Muntagirov, who I will see at ROH in November. I would also like to see Mayerling in Paris, but that is still uncertain.

I'm 66 and there's plenty older than me there! Will be great to see you, Angela. I'll definitely be there for both of Vadim's Mayerlings and one each of Sambe (30/11) and Ball's (29/10). If you fancy trying the stage door and would prefer to be with someone send me a pm and we can meet up. 

Hi, I am not the youngest either (66), I will fly to London from Prague (Czech Republic) for the first time in my life on Mayerling (wth Vadim) on 11. l11.  I would very much like to go to the stage door as well, maybe I will find support and help from equally enthusiastic fans there.
