Thank you all, was able to purchase a second ticket (not on same row), all sorted.

Wow, you've been very lucky - I've been checking daily for weeks and no hint of a return!

The link to  the ROH Youtube is here and it should remain online after the livestream.  Nobody needs to panic if it is missed!

Watching Leo Dixon and Teo Dubreil rehearsing / learning the role of Benno, only serves to remind me of how easy Alex Campbell made this part look when it’s clearly very tricky.   It was created on him.   Going to be a challenge for the newbies.

There were some other new Bennos at the last Swan Lake outing, I think?

Joonhyuk Jun certainly sticks in my mind.

 

And Teo does say that he’s only had ‘learning calls’ so far (i.e. the very first stage in the preparatory process).

Very enjoyable Insight - I thought Samira Saidi was an excellent coach and it was interesting seeing the dancers at slightly different stages of their journeys into these roles. I found I couldn't take my eyes off Nadia Mullova-Barley - already picturing her as Odette/Odile! And the presenter (Tamsin Roberts) was very good too, with Rob Clark wonderful as ever at the piano.

I think also Richardson, Yudes & Sissens? Though I'm not certain. It's difficult to keep track of Bennos when they're not given in the advanced casting. I really wish they were, given how much dancing the character has.

Yes. I couldn't take my eyes off her either - and barely started rehearsals! I remember her last run in the Spanish Dance and she was just brilliant.

I thought they were both lovely. Two Royal Ballet School lower and upper school graduates.

 

Julia Roscoe I think is a most elegant dancer with such a 'creamy' dance quality, uses her eyes so well, eloquent arms, and her beautiful neck and poised head I can't stop watching!  (And that smile of course.) Nothing flashy, simply gorgeous dancing. 

 

I'm sure the Royal Ballet won't object to a screenshot of them both. 

 

Also, some of the best coaching / teaching I've seen in an Insight; all the small technical details that make a difference,  Samira Saidi was really on top of it all.

I was enormously impressed by Samira Saidi's brilliant coaching. She found just the right words to suggest, in many cases, very subtle improvements. And Leo Dixon's clean, elegant dancing bowled me over!
