Thank you for the info Mrs BBB! I had a little look at Itziar's website which contains a number of pics of her as Firebird, and there are some clips on YouTube. It doesn't give the company, at least I don't think it does, but I assume it is Leipzig. She appears to be quite a tall dancer, not that it matters, perhaps she is just long of limb, she is certainly fleet of foot. I love that Firebird costume.

That's really disappointing that he's (presumably) injured again. Oh well, give it to Kish as usual (whatever would the RB do without him? :) )

 

Edit: I was told today that it's actually Nunez who's indisposed and was the reason for the cast change for In The Night, but that wouldn't explain why Pennefather is being replaced by Hirano.

Not entirely related, but in addition to all the Onegins and Eugene Onegins (i.e. the opera) simultaneously at the ROH, I've just been on the Barbican website and realised that Deborah Colker's Tatyana is playing there at the same time. Has everyone gone Pushkin-mad?

In the interview flagged in Today's Links (http://faz-community.faz.net/blogs/tanz/archive/2012/12/15/christopher-wheeldon-why-cinderella-an-interview-following-a-premiere.aspx), Christopher Wheeldon says that his next piece is to Britten. Presumably that's the new RB piece due in a couple of months?

For those who weren't at the "In Rehearsal" on Monday, the music for the new Wheeldon is Britten's Sinfonia de requiem and Ratmansky is using an orchestrated set of 24 Chopin piano preludes.

Ironic.  I originally didn't book for Choe's one performance of VoS because everything else in that programme was cast duplication and I thought it wasn't worth the effort of trailing up to London just for 7 minutes or whatever it is.  Now I think I stand to get her several times :)

 

Thank you for that, Mrs BBB.  It's so frustrating not being able to get on the website and find these things out for oneself (or book for anything, come to that).

I believe Beatriz was recovering from an injury for a while.

 

Looks as though there have been some wholesale changes for Monotones? http://www.roh.org.uk/productions/monotones-i-and-ii-by-frederick-ashton

 

Or maybe not, maybe only Monotones I is showing.  Who knows?  Time the ROH got their act together on this, anyway.  The page showing the casting for all 5 parts of the bill is absolute rubbish.
