JNC Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 1 hour ago, ElleC said: So maybe Sambe with Hayward and James Hay with O’Sullivan? I’d be very happy with this scenario (I’ve booked for both these casts). I don't think they should/would change O'Sullivan's casting just because they have to play around with partnering up Hayward. I for one would be quite annoyed to see O'Sullivan not being partnered with Sambe as I have booked to see them not only as individuals, but as this partnership. (I believe they are one of the partnerships being developed by ROH, as they danced together in the Nutcracker and also Romeo and Juliet last year so would like to see this development continue.) O'Sullivan is partnering Hay already in Sleeping Beauty - which I have also booked to see and will also think this will be a good partnership. But I think O'Sullivan/Sambe will work really well together in Coppelia. If Sambe does partner with Hayward for Coppelia, then I imagine he will also 'double up' and continue to partner with O'Sullivan (similar to Muntagirov doubling up to do Raymonda with both Lamb, replacing McRae, and Osipova, in his original casting).

Candleque Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I totally wish Mr McRae a speedy and lasting recovery. But I personally think Alex Campbell fits the part, so will look forward to seeing him. And am already seeing Sambé, so excited for that as well 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawnstar Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I booked a ticket for 4th January within minutes of seeing the update on the website earlier. Now I just have to decide if I still want to see Campbell with Morera as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNC Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Very pleased it’s Campbell! Would have been happy to see Sambe too but I think after Manon and especially in this ballet the Hayward/Campbell partnership will go well together. And I don’t know when was the last rime Campbell has an opening night? (I know Sambe hasn’t had one yet either I believe but he’s only recently a principal.) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard LH Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 The Sleeping Beauty general rehearsal today ...Aurora Anna Rose O'Sullivan, Florimund James Hay, Lilac Fairy Gina Storm-Jensen ☺ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawnstar Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Does each Lilac Fairy usually only dance with one cast? I'd hoped to see Storm-Jensen in the role but as I'm not booked for O'Sullivan/Hay does that mean I'm unlikely to get to see her? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wonder this re casting ‘sets’ - I really want to see Hayward/Sambe as Bluebird/Florine but not sure which cast they will be in! I also believe Magri is cast as the lilac fairy (?) and would love to see her! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinMM Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 As this run starts tomorrow will there be any further news of casting for at least the other main parts in Sleeping Beauty apart from the two leads....I'm seeing O'Sullivan and Hay on 5th December ....any news of supporting roles in this casting? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magri will debut as Lilac Fairy and Blue Bird. I really hope she is casted in the cinema relay in one of the two roles since that’s the only way I can see her in those. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninamargaret Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 The lack of information about casting for the Lilac fairy etc seems to downgrade the importance of the roles, although,it must make life easier for those responsible for casting, particularly when so many changes are likely to be necessary. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) I just checked the casting for Friday's Beauty performance. Akane Takada is replaced by Fumi Kaneko. Ryoichi HIrano is, currently, still listed as the Prince. https://www.roh.org.uk/events/78gj6 Edited to add that Ryoichi Hirano has now been replaced by Reece Clarke.
