The Royal Ballet: The Judas Tree (part of MacMillan: A National Celebration) London Oct. 2017

I was at the Royal Ballet's rehearsal of 'Judas Tree', part of the MacMillan: A National Celebration series at the Royal Opera House, London October 2017. Other companies will do other works over the course of the next couple of weeks - this was the RB's first contribution

I was surprised to see these this early on, since Judas Tree isn't on til next week (I think?), but I guess at the moment it must be a question of getting the stage time when you can, before the guest companies arrive?

There are no 'Friends Rehearsals' for these triple and double bills and each ballet seems to have its separate stage rehearsal slot. 

For example, ENB was rehearsing Song of the Earth at the ROH on Monday evening.

I think they are getting in all the MacMillan stage rehearsals as soon as they are able. No Clore ones, sadly.
