  3. In addition to those already mentioned I think Harrison Lee Harris Bell Stanislaw Wegrzyn Aiden O’Brien Joshua Junker Davide Lorricho Joonhyuk Jun Taisuke Nakao
  4. Most impressive of all was 1st soloist William Bracewell, what great control he has. The second rehearsal was the Nutcracker pdd : Fumi Kaneko and William Bracewell coached by Lesley Collier and Gary Avis. It was a terrific event although I agree with Alison about the acoustics.
  5. Thank you Irmgard for taking the time to write such a detailed and fascinating review please keep them coming, I really enjoy reading them and then seeing the casts !
  6. Interesting ...... because I actually prefer them (either individually or together) in those ballets where they don't need to act; there is not a trace of tension in their execution of the steps, they just show us how technically superb they are.
  7. If anyone has a spare SCS please message me. Thank you
  8. Apologies if this has already been mentioned somewhere, but I just noticed on the RoH website that Hay has been replaced by Sambe for his scheduled performances in Nutcracker - towards the end of the run. Wondering if this means he won't be dancing in Patineurs too
  9. Thank you for saying that although I am not at all offended by any alternative view I suppose I used princely/princess to try to convey that to me they felt like beautiful, stylised, ballet dancers, which is lovely in itself, but did not seem to be connected with Billington/Patch.
  10. On 2nd viewing I still didn't find the ballet in any way memorable but I preferred O'Sullivan/Bracewell to Naghdi/Ball. They somehow managed to feel more like ordinary people, girl/boy next door whereas I felt that Naghdi & Ball were too princess/princely for the characters they were portraying. Bracewell has a very fluid quality of movement.
  11. I only saw the rehearsal so far and I found The Unknown Soldier so dire it put me off going last night. Over the years Marriott has been given many opportunities to produce work for the main stage yet I cannot think of a single truly memorable piece. Time and time again the end result is at best mediocre choreography and a budget for sets, lighting, video effects and music that could surely be better spent. It baffles me that he continues to receive commissions. Leaving aside the masterpiece that is Gloria, IMO all three recent ballets in the ENB Triple Lest We Forget were way superior to The Unknown Soldier.
