Bruce Wall Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 So pleased to see Morera repeating her stellar turn in the Scarlett. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Hmm, quite light on principals, isn't it? Are they rehearsing for touring? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 No Tristan Dyer in Monotones 1? Come to think of it, I don't think I have seen him all season, nor one or two other male soloists - Yudes and Montano. Happy to see Rovero up there. Sad not to see Arestis in Monotones 2.

Are they rehearsing for touring? ...... some are still dancing Swan Lake and there's the 20th May Gala. But the 2019/20 Royal Ballet season (which was jam-packed with goodies at the beginning) now has the distinct feeling of fizzling out. I think they might find it hard to shift tickets. Has anyone any news of touring in 2020? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's certainly true for Monotones I and II but not for the other items on the bill. These feature (in the order they appear in the casting) Cuthbertson, Morera, Ball, Hayward, Campbell, and Nuñez. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsBBB Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Thank you @Lizbie1. Nothing about the Heritage Bill in the Linbury, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to think of it, I don't think I have seen him all season, nor one or two other male soloists - Yudes and Montano. I've been thinking I've hardly seen Tristan Dyer since the Bernstein triple. Has he been injured? I even wondered if he'd left the RB but he still seems to be in the list of soloists. Unfortunately the only matinee doesn't have an evening performance either the same day or previous day. So if I want to see both casts I will have to have 2 overnight stays. At least there is a matinee which is more than there is for the Dante Project and the modern triple. So if i was tempted by the fabulous casting (versus, for me, the potentially dubious choreography of the latter two), I would have to pay for a hotel as well. It's not going to happen! (I know I can see Dante at the cinema and don't know if I can even bring myself to do that.) No mention of Vadim in the casting. That seems to mean since his Sleeping Beauty last week he's only doing a few Swan Lakes and presumably the Gala between now and the new season in September/October. I know he'll be guesting elsewhere but still... Perhaps he'll say in the Ballet Circle talk this evening what his future plans are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've probably already noticed this, but BRB are performing a triple bill at Sadler's Wells on the same day as that triple bill matinee at the ROH. It doesn't help with seeing both RB casts but does make the trip more worthwhile. The RB matinee is an early one so I have bought a cheap ticket for BRB matinee and aim to catch the last ballet on that bill, Theme and Variations, at the matinee (after watching matinee at ROH) and then watch the whole BRB bill that evening.

Dawnstar Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 It does feel a bit light on Principals compared to last summer's triple bill. This one has 4 Principals in one cast & 3 in the other whereas a check of the two performances I saw last summer gives 8 Principals in one & 7 in the other.

I actually hadn't realised this was on at the same time so thanks very much for telling me. I might follow your example and try and get a cheap ticket for Themes and Variations matinee and not bother with the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two performances at Cast in Doncaster don't have any rep listed yet but I expect they will be fairly small scale pieces and that it will be recorded music. Cast is a rather lovely but small venue in Doncaster and they are selling tickets starting at row A so the orchestra pit isn't being put in. Federico Bonelli is curating the programme but is not appearing in it himself. https://castindoncaster.com/whats-on/the-royal-ballet/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Domingo’s miserable performance the last time he attended Traviata, I would pay *more* for the nights he is not singing. But still maybe not those prices, despite Don Carlos being one of my favourite scores. Edited January 22, 2020 by Geoff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
