Cast change slips were available with the cast lists when I picked up mine so I'm sorry Jillykins missed getting one. On Tuesday evening the cast sheet was wrong (it still listed Sambé) - I queried it in the first interval and was told that there were no further changes from the printed list, and when I insisted that it wasn't Sambé dancing I was advised to ask someone else. The second person told me that there were some cast change slips on a ledge in the Amphi bar area and I eventually managed to get one. So if I hadn't known already that it wasn't Sambé dancing, I'd have been none the wiser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Did you notice Erico Montes turning into Kevin Emerton, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cast list showed Montes, and the change slip included him replacing Emerton, so I assumed it was just a double notification that it was Montes dancing. But was the change slip wrong and should have said Emerton replaced Montes?! I'm afraid I wouldn't know either of them by sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capybara Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 As I think I've said before, the ROH ties itself up in knots with its replacement slips because they say: "X is replaced by Y" rather than "Y replaces X". It makes all the difference in terms of people's understanding of which dancer they are actually going to see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I'm guessing it was probably a cut-and-paste job from a previous one, and the person doing it got the names the wrong way round. Been there, done that ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dance*is*life Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) I bought the stream of the Royal Ballet's The Winter's Tale and absolutely loved it! Inventive, lovely dancing, beautiful stage effects and wonderfully atmospheric original music. I would love to see it on stage!

alison Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 It's great, isn't it? I've merged your post into the thread for the second run - once I finally managed to find it! Which version is it they're showing - the original 2014(?) one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dance*is*life Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Thank you! Yes - It was from 2014 with the amazing cast of Ed Watson, Steven McRae and Federico Bonelli, plus Lauren Cuthbertson and Sarah Lamb - can't get much better than that! I am rather in shock that this is the first time I've seen this ballet - I honestly hadn't even heard of it. I have to say that for those of us who live abroad, the fact that they have started streaming regularly has been the one bonus from Corona! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
