loveclassics Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 In the Times today there's a report of Lauren Cuthbertson being called to dance the title role in Sylvia at St Petersburg. Her partner was Xander Parrish and judging by the photograph, it was the Ashcroft version. Linda 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveclassics Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) Sorry, late night posting often leads to typos - obviously I meant Ashton and this has been confirmed in another article in today's edition. It would also appear that late night posting leads to unnecessarily snide comments: or to quote the Big Bang Theory "nobody likes a smarty pants" You could have been a bit gentler in your rebuke, Alison.

Blossom Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) Such a lovely article and what an opportunity! But - and I am editing the post to add this - it says she danced on Saturday. So now I am wondering who I saw on Saturday night at the ROH!! Edited November 23, 2018 by Blossom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the previous Saturday (10 November) that Cuthbertson was in St. Petersburg. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Macmillan Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 The couple occupy half of the front page of this morning's edition, with the article some pages later: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/ballerina-lauren-cuthbertson-seals-historic-debut-at-mariinsky-in-st-petersburg-with-a-kiss-f7dbl7zms?shareToken=c4ae267e202b3513dc9085a6da804dd9 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophoife Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 @Ian Macmillan thank you so much for the link; I am not a subscriber to The Times and it was a lovely read. I wish the links to Financial Times/Times reviews would have such a "share token". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiz Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Thank you so much for sharing this, Ian! I picked up the information from Lauren and Xander’s Instagram feeds and was going to buy the paper if I ever get to go out - thanks, Hermes!

Mary Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I am so happy for Lauren Cuthbertson; that must go down as a really treasured memory for her,- and an historic first for a British couple! Wonderful. I wish we could have seen it....... it would be fun if some RB dancers could guest with the Bolshoi next summer when they're here...Mr O' Hare seems to think very creatively these days so who knows! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard LH Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Lauren gave a lovely interview. Her performance in Symphony in C last Tuesday was the first time I have seen her live, and I thought she brought a real presence to the stage. It is amazing how she fitted in performing Sylvia in St P. at such short notice with everything else goning on at the RB at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shade Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I think Amelia posted notice of Cuthbertsons appearance in Sylvia. Congratulations to her it seems to have gone well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
