annamk Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 If anyone hears who is dancing the Friends rehearsal on Friday 26th I'd be grateful if they could post. I assume it's most likely to be Salenko/McRae given the schedule for the various casts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPD444 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Iana has just tweeted she is heading back to London to dance with Steven on the 27th. Does the mean not doing the rehearsal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxDaveM Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 It is the cast with Sarah Lamb, as I understand it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthE Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 There are a few rear-Amphitheatre tickets for that rehearsal online now, if anybody's looking. Managed to grab myself a nice one further forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beryl H Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I wanted to see the Lamb/Hirano cast but it's Easter Monday so I decided not a good idea, should be a very interesting rehearsal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleaden94 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Intrigued by the rehearsal photos that I have just seen on Flickr. The three Myrthas shown are very exciting to be sure! (Tierney Heap, Claire Calvert & Itziar Mendizabal). I think the casting of Myrtha can affect the entire performance of Giselle - so I will be happy with any of the three! (I am booked in for my first Royal Opera House visit on 23rd March - all previous ballet shows from Dvds, live stream & tours).

Mary Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Calvert would be super-thinking of her recent impressive command of the stage in her gipsy girl role. I can't see the full castng anywhere, but maybe I am being slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 It would be nice if people on here found the time to post the various casts for Myrthe, Hilarion and, perhaps, the pas de six as and when they see them. I, for one, can't manage to get to (or afford!) all 7 casts of Giselle/Albrecht but it is very interesting to know who is dancing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh...not again. I fought tooth and nail to get an extra ticket for tomorrow night so that my friend could see her especially. This is yet another disappointment. I hope she will be able to do her other performances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I should have known: I was about to post that there were some tickets available for tomorrow, and now I know why Hoping it's nothing serious, and that she makes a swift recovery.

I would love to see Claire Calvert as Myrtha, it's a jumpy role and she's a jumpy dancer . Lovely picture as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxDaveM Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I was at the rehearsal in question, so here are some photos before Natalia had to withdraw because of the injury. Such a shame as she and Matthew Golding were in such sync, that i'm sure the performance would have been spectacular, Lets all hope she makes it to her shows in March.

Jamesrhblack Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Myrthe is a great role and very difficult too (even more so in the extended Mary Speaking version that ENB will revive next season). When I was first going to the ROH, it was the domain of some of the strongest principal ladies (Bergsma, Conley, Derman and especially Mason) but those days seem past (although Galeazzi, Morera, Nunez and Yanowsky have also danced it). Deirdre Eyden and Pippa Wylde, although not principals, were also memorable with their big jump and glamorous presence. The three dancers listed here should all be great in a role that seems recently to have been undercast - are Crawford, Kobayashi and McCulloch not cast this time round?

Don Q Fan Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Osipova- again - she's not been having much luck of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonty Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) What happened to Osipova? That poor lady does seem to be most unfortunate. Regarding Mrythe, I was lucky enough to see Nunez in the role, and she was wonderful. It must have been a long time ago, though.

Sim Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Fonty, she sustained an injury during rehearsals on Wednesday. James, Laura McCulloch is, I believe, on maternity leave which is why she hasn't been cast. I am very much looking forward to these Myrthes as well. I have seen Itziar do it before; I really liked her but I hope that this time she doesn't wear blue eyeshadow and red lipstick....I don't think any creature would look like that having just emerged from her grave!!

SPD444 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 It will be Lauren and Federico....they are the only scheduled couple available!! It was, and fair play to them for doing it. This is not a review, but Kevin came front of curtain to advise us that he had told them to assume it was a working rehearsal as their first performance is not until the 23rd March. Basically I don't think they had anyone else so a big thank you to Lauren and Frederico. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Yes - a huge 'thank you' and 'well done' to both Lauren and Federico. As a matter of further interest, Myrthe was Hikaru Kobayashi, Hilarion was Johannes Stepanek and the Pas de Six was danced by Tristan Dyer and Elizabeth Harrod (lead couple) with Yasmine Naghdi/David Donnelly and Francesca Hayward/Matthew Ball.

It was indeed the perfect Pas de Six. And young Matthew Ball gets better and better. Lauren recovered well from slight mishap with veil. Huge thanks to her and Frederico for stepping in at such short notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capybara Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I was trying not to comment on 'performances' at a rehearsal but, since others have now done so, I am going to mention the simply glorious 'two girls together' element of the pas de six as danced by Yasmine and Frankie. WOW! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
