I decided rather late to treat myself to a ticket for Sleeping Beauty but nearly every performance was sold out.  I ended up with the Lamb/Hirano cast which is fine but not my first choice so I wondered if anyone can tell me who else is cast.  Bluebirds, Lilac Fairy, Florestan and his sisters, for example?

 

Thanks

Unfortunately, the supporting cast only seems to be revealed when someone goes to the first show of a particular leading couple.

And I'm not sure how much of a guarantee there is that it will be the same supporting cast for each of their performances anyway.

I’m interested in the casting of Bluebird.  So far I’ve heard of:

 

Sambe, Hayward

Corrales, Magri

Sissens, O’Sullivan


There must be others?

 

 

I think there has also been:

Sambe, O’Sullivan

Corrales, Hamilton

Hay, Hinkis 

 

sadly I’m beginning to think Hayward won’t dance any more performances (she only did opening night) as Sambe recently danced with O’Sullivan, and now Hayward is coming to the end of her beauty run and moving onto Coppelia! 

 

I’m hoping to see Sambe/Corrales/Magri still. O’Sullivan and Sissens were wonderful.

thank you.  So still only 4 bluebird (males).  Doesn’t seem very many when you consider that all bar Sissens have principal roles to prepare for in SB and/or Coppélia.  
 

so am I right in thinking that Joe Sissens is the only one who is neither a first soloist or principal?  How exciting for him.  
 

Also, is William Bracewell not back to performing yet?

I think there is a possibility that Haward is on for the cinema relay.

I think William Bracewell is next on stage in December in Enigma Variations. Coincidentally I was thinking the same thing the other day

Will this be confirmed closer to the time - i.e. do ROH tend to release a more detailed cast list in advance of cinema relays? Or not?

 

The cinema relay is pretty late into the run and I think I will have seen most casts by then, so I don't think I'll go unless I can be certain particular dancers will be performing (e.g. Hayward!).

I've just read the Guardian review and it's hilariously bonkers.

 

The Guardian or The Observer? Online they look the same (they are now essentially the same operation) but they still have separate reviewers. The clumsily woke but uninformed review I read on Sunday was by someone called Bidisha, who I see is known for “specialising in international affairs, social justice issues” as well as “culture”.

Yasmine naghdi is standing in for francesca Hayward this evening due to illness (according to public insta Post), dancing with Alexander Campbell. 

 

Oh no! I am very happy to see Naghdi again but I was so looking forward to seeing Hayward and Campbell together and this is their last performance. :( I hope Hayward recovers quickly. (Whose Instagram account is this on, please Clara_f? It hasn't appeared in my feed.)

It is their last performance and I am gutted as I was so looking forward to it. Kicking myself I didn’t book an earlier performance/pick up another ticket but you can’t predict these things.

 

I saw it on Yasmine Naghdi’s Instagram story. 

 

Very frustrated that ROH haven’t sent an email!

 

I am also selling my ticket - I’ve already seen Naghdi/Campbell in the Takada injury debacle and have booked to see Naghdi/Ball later in the run...I’m not having much luck with my Auroras! 😞

From Tuesday to Saturday in the ballet world is like from here to eternity 🤣😉

 

This is true. I hope they confirm by Friday morning though as I’d like to potentially get a Friday rush ticket if it is Takada.

Yes!! I did leave a comment there in the end but by then was half expecting to be told to get the thread back on track🙄

 

I'm still trying to find the previous thread in which we were moaning about quality of dance "reviews" to move it all to ...

I see now the website has been updated with Naghdi as replacement Aurora https://www.roh.org.uk/tickets-and-events/the-sleeping-beauty-by-marius-petipa-dates

 

If they can do this why no email? If anything surely the email to ticket holders should be prioritised? 

 

I hope Hayward has an illness free Aurora next run, can’t believe the bad luck! And I really hope she is able to do the first night of Coppelia next week!

@Geoff Yes, it was the Observer, not Guardian - keep losing track when reading online

 

I've still got quite a few Beauties to see, though it'll take a lot to beat the joys of the Naghdi/Ball and Kaneko/Clarke pairing, both marvellous for different reasons.

 

I'm also very impressed with Mayara Magri this season. I don't know what she did over the summer, or what other magics are at work, but for me she has gone from someone with both promise and some not-so-promising touches to a consistenly excellent performer on her way to becoming a fully developed artist. She's been a real joy to watch and has added class to every role she has danced in SB.

as a ticket holder I have never received an email with cast changes. I think this is limited to Friends not the general public
