So, technically dancers won't have to go back to doing class in their kitchens, I guess? Not sure that all the companies will want to take the risk of having performers etc. travel in, though.

Not sure that all the companies will want to take the risk of having performers etc. travel in, though. If everyone else has to stay home it might actually be safer. And if companies have any hope of saving their Christmas seasons, & even the small amount of revenue they will bring, they can't afford to lose the conditioning and rehearsal that you can't do from home.

prs59 243 Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 3 hours ago, oncnp said: It will be longer....update on website ...wonder how they are going to socially distance the interval? The performance will last approximately 2 hours 25 minutes including one 20-minute interval. AWESOME 👏🏻 Link to post Share on other sites
Blossom 704 Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 The casting, which I assume is for Elite Syncopations, also seems to have changed. Wonder when this will be communicated to ticket holders and when we will know more about who is performing. Link to post Share on other sites
DanJL 265 Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 I wonder if they intend to film tomorrow evening for future streaming? In which case, it would make sense to have different leads for Elite Syncopations than were in the Back on stage show. I know from experience that Sarah Lamb is wonderful in this role. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Marianela Nunez has just posted on IG indicating her Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux is still on the program at least.

JohnS 3,088 Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 Well done Royal Ballet for making the most of the one opportunity to perform in November. Must be lots of last minute decisions and as always I’m sure everything will be fabulous on the night. Looking forward to reading posts and I still hope there may be some filming for a future relay. 9 Link to post Share on other sites

bangorballetboy 6,369 Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 Who cares about the casting? It's the first opportunity to see the Royal Ballet performing live since the middle of March and the last for at least a month. I'll be there with a great big smile on my face, no matter who is performing! 13 Link to post Share on other sites
