Birmingham Royal Ballet Announcements 2016
bangorballetboy replied to emma-cann's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
Given the companies share the same founders, I think "sister company" is historically and stylistically accurate.- 15 replies

May have been agreed after that PR came out (and don't forget it came out earlier than usual).- 15 replies

I'm off to centre court again tomorrow (but I'll be in the back row this time, so no need for shades).

Can't we just leave this forum for dance? I'm a qualified lawyer but I'd rather leave my job where it is and discuss dance on this forum.

Prokofiev's 5th symphony - and Cinderella
bangorballetboy replied to alison's topic in Opera & Music
The third movement of the "Classical" is used as a gavotte in R&J (in the MacMillan production, it's the second "set" dance at the ball, after Romeo has met Juliet). -
Royal Ballet Casting Autumn 2016/17
bangorballetboy replied to SwissBalletFan's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
Yes, this casting info was all available a few weeks ago (patrons and senior friends having already booked), including Hayward and Sambé (I've checked my booking script from last week to make sure). Zucchetti was scheduled to dance Colas last season but was injured and did not dance.- 24 replies

Prokofiev's 5th symphony - and Cinderella
bangorballetboy replied to alison's topic in Opera & Music
I can't think of any direct quotes of one in another, but they were both composed at the same time (1944) so it's not surprising the sound world is similar. -

Last year there were tweets from Wimbledon that the queue was full by, IIRC, 0600. I've given up queuing now but fondly remember the days when, with two queues, one could arrive at the shorter queue at 0630 in week 1 and get a centre court ticket!

Not quite a promotion, but today's Times mentions (with a photograph) that the current Aud Jebsen dancers all have permanent contracts with the RB.- 272 replies

Whether that's true or not is irrelevant. She only has a guest contract with them.

Door 1 used to be the stage door, but they renumbered the doors when the new south porch was added. The south porch is now door 12, the stage door is no longer numbered and the old door 2 became door 1 (and so on and so on). Patrons should still be able to access door 1 from inside the building to see the tutus so it doesn't really matter which door one uses to enter the building.
