John Mallinson Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 This is the second iteration of this mini-festival organised by Johanna Adams Farley, Senior Stage Manager of the Royal Ballet. It's an ambitious gala-type project, staged for only two nights, with performances by seven Royal Ballet Principals, four First Soloists, two Soloists, plus music staff. The venue is the small village of Lagrasse in the Corbières region of southern France - more details presumably available on request. Sounds wonderful. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I can't believe it's 8 years since the previous one! Sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xandra Newman Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 https://www.muse-a-muse.com/juillet-2018 Some of The Royal Ballet dancers seem to have a rather busy dancing schedule, be it in Japan or in France or elsewhere, during their Summer break. Do they ever take a break from dancing or even go on a holiday ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizbie1 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I kind of hope that a holiday is part of the deal with the Lagrasse gig - looks gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xandra Newman Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Oh it looks so beautiful out there. I can just about imagine how beautiful it must be to see the RB dancers performing in the open air (but performances start so late...). I noticed the Saturday Swan Lake performance in Madrid starts at 22:00! (That means Naghdi will have to do her fouettees around midnight ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Open air performances usually start late so that it is dark and cooler. I think that theatres in Spain quite often have two latish shows on a Saturday: 17.00hrs and 22.00hrs. But that RB Swan Lake is a big ask for the cast (and for the several RB supporters who are travelling to see the Company perform). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
