northstar Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Celine Gittens from Birmingham Royal Ballet on BBC Radio 4 Woman's Hour this week, talking about the role of Sugar Plum Fairy in the Nutcracker (and other things). https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0001p64 Haven't seen this noted on the forum so thought I would post it, apologies if it is a duplicate of information already posted somewhere else. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Thanks Northstar! I'd seen Celine's post on twitter but hadn't looked the feature up. It's well worth a listen from 26 minutes in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauriceC Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 An excellent interview from Celine .Pity there was not time to point out that during the run,she like the others will be dancing several other roles,making it even more hard work that the the interviewer thought. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a point which that BBC documentary two years ago about the Royal Ballet Nutcracker also missed. It made it look as though preparing for her first Sugar Plum Fairy was the only thing Francesca Hayward had going on - whereas in fact she was first-cast Clara as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
