Sim Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Has anyone seen Roberta and Nehemiah dance Romeo and Juliet yet? Dying to hear about it. Interesting comments with regard to Thiago as Romeo. I remember seeing him dance Romeo a few years ago with Marianela. I was with my husband who'd never seen a ballet before, and he pointed out that the bloke playing Romeo didn't seem to be able to do the steps very well. I prefer Thiago in dance-actor roles I must confess. My favourite Romeo and Juliet will always be Carlos and Tamara.... Hi Imogen....you already asked this question a couple of weeks ago and I answered it (see post number 467 on the previous page). As BBB said above, she is dancing her final Juliet on Wednesday, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aileen Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Did anyone see the last two performances of the run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickwellings Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Here were my thoughts of the penultimate performance, aileen, drawing upon my first viewing of MN +TS as R+J https://theoperatunist.wordpress.com/2015/12/03/romeo-and-juliet-nunez-soares-underwood-the-royal-ballet-dec-1-2015/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aileen Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I'm glad to hear that the second Nunez / Soares performance was better than the first one. Personally, I wouldn't book for Soares in most roles because I prioritise dancing over acting, but others may feel differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyTaylor Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I went to the final Nunez/ Soares performance and loved it, not just for them but for the other major roles too. Valentino Zucchetti was amazing as Mercutio - one of the best death scenes I've seen and I thought Eric Underwood was a powerful Tybalt. For me, Marianela is the best Juliet by far - there are so many additional nuances in her performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
