LinMM Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Goodness all a bit confusing .....but good news regards Akane Takada as it must mean her injury is not too serious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridiem Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Yes - it now says Takada replaces Kaneko and Hirano replaces Clarke. I bet you that it's meant to say it the other way round and in trying to clarify they've got it wrong... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 My friend who was there last night with a good view has suggested to me that she noticed something ( that I don't think I should mention here in fairness to Takada) but which indicates that she may have been unwell rather than injured last night. Certainly there was no noticeable sign that she had an injury or incurred one while she was performing but that doesn't mean she wasn't of course .....dancers can be very good at hiding an injury they may be nursing.

LinMM Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Ha ha Bridiem having literally just been on the phone to above mentioned friend that's what we thought might have happened if Takada had in fact incurred an injury as unlikely would be better by Friday!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 It's obvious that they haven't read what they've written on the ROH website. Typical! IT'S DEFINITELY KANEKO AND CLARKE ON FRIDAY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridiem Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Alexander Campbell has tweeted a curtain call photo of himself and Naghdi and writes: 'A quite unbelievable night last night that was only possible thanks to amazing team work and understanding from all @RoyalOperaHouse and @TheRoyalBallet . Sending lots of love and healing thoughts to everyone and huge thanks for all the wonderful support we received. #ROHbeauty' 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Yes my friend said you would have never guessed that Campbell and Naghdi had not danced together before ( or certainly not in Beauty) they pulled it off brilliantly! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on the website it clearly states Takada replacing Kaneko etc... And nothing updated here...https://www.roh.org.uk/news/royal-opera-house-cast-changes-autumn-19-20 I hope it’s clarified soon. I’m guess people who received an email to say it would be Kaneko/Clarke haven’t received another one reverting it back to Takada/Hirano? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridiem Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Guess what it now says?! Takada is replacing - Takada, and Hirano is replacing - Hirano. Beyond hilarious. I hope/suspect that it's en route to being correct. Quite a journey. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JNC Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 It's now 'correct' (as far as we know!). As initially assumed, Kaneko/Clarke will be dancing Friday night. Oh no wait...it's literally changed before my eyes...back to Takada/Takada and Hirano/Hirano... Still Takada/Hirano for the 23rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps there's a mole at the ROH following this forum and giving us some entertainment. Only possible explanation really. P.S. I couldn't resist checking again and, as for JNC, first it was correct and then it literally changed before my eyes to T/T and H/H. It's a good thing I know I haven't been drinking...

Rob S Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 It's very confusing....clearly a new feature, the red 'cast change' link but have they worked out how they want to use it? In my opinion the front page should always say who is currently scheduled to dance on the day....if you want to add a cast change button/notification for information then surely when pressed it should state who WAS dancing but they are now replaced by the people listed on the front page. If Kaneko is dancing it should say that on the front page and if you press the cast change button it should say Takada is replaced by Kaneko 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingrid Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) I remember sending a bunch of suggestions to the ROH website team months ago. One of the suggestions was related to the announcements of the shows ( or things related to cast change for example) as a pop up in the inferior corner of the page that you could either minimize or close. The other one was putting a head shot of the dancers with their names on the page destined to the dancers ( like literally all the other companies do). Another thing is that since they changed the websote I have no idea how to naturally get to said page ( unless I look up for it specifically on google).

bridiem Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 It now has the correct details about who is replacing whom; but the headline cast is incorrect. As Rob S said, the actual cast should always be the one at the top. It does say 'cast change' at the top, but you would assume that the cast showing is the new one not the old one. Why are these obvious/simple things so difficult for the ROH??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xandra Newman Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Having just read all of last week's Opening Night rave reviews I cannot recall the last time Sleeping Beauty was awarded multiple 5 stars by the dance critics (usually the critics are not all that enthusiastic about The Royal Ballet's Sleeping Beauty). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
