The thread got diverted into discussing R&J sales too, Rob S, so the performance mentioned is in just over a week's time. I do hope the house will fill up by then, by whatever means. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naomi M Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 A lovely photo gallery of Dance Tabs with Fumi Kaneko and William Bracewell in Romeo and Juliet rehearsal. https://dancetabs.com/2021/09/special-gallery-royal-ballets-romeo-and-juliet-in-the-studio-with-fumi-kaneko-and-william-bracewell/ I envy those who can see them in this.

alison Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Naomi, when I was looking at the stalls seating the other day for their debut, I think it was, I noticed there were cameras scheduled, so perhaps you may get to see a bit of it, at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh thank you Alison! Fingers crossed.

(as I live in Japan I am unable to see) Kaneko is the *loveliest* dancer - pure dancing aside, someone at a performance once said to me that she looks as if she always smells of roses, and I don't know how to put it better! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 (edited) Does anyone know if its possible to view the cast other than the main pairing for Romeo and Juliet online? Or will we not know until the day? When looking at performances I have booked for, there is a button saying 'view cast sheet' which I assumed meant viewing the full cast, but it just redirects me to the booking page with no further information.

capybara Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 From Instagram images, it seems possible that Sambe might be Mercutio and Ball could be Tybalt in the first cast (Hayward/Corales). But the camera can mislead! Most other captures online show only the R&J couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sim Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 In Jann Parry's article on the history of R&J (see Today's Links for today) she mentions Alexander Campbell as a 'new RB Romeo', and then William Bracewell as a new Romeo for RB but that he had done it previously at BRB. Isn't this the case for AC as well? If so, she didn't mention it...@janmcnulty, I am sure I read recently that you have seen him perform Romeo at BRB?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Sim, yes Alex performed Romeo when he was with BRB. IIRC, he performed it with Ambra Vallo. They were brilliant together. It sometimes seems to me that Alex is the forgotten man of the RB! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us can think of instances where principals have been brought in from other companies and it didn't really work, or when they got injured and weren't the same after - or when they just aged out! - but I can't make sense of promoting someone from inside the company, initially using them quite a lot, then apparently sidelining them.

capybara Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Just to say that Alexander Campbell is not alone among the RB principals as having relatively few shows. The RB has sooooo many Principals and First Soloists that any individual’s shows are thin on the ground - unless a dancer is cast in all the new work. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peony Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I agree the company has become quite top heavy. I’d like to see a pairing of O’Sullivan and Campbell 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oncnp Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) Has anyone heard of any changes for R&J for 13, 19 or 22 Oct? When looking at those dates on the website those three (and only those three) performances are going to "Server Error" when you try to book tickets.

My screen went to Error code when I tried to print a ticket for tomorrow's rehearsal but it has righted itself. I could get onto all three of those dates (and others) OK. Worryingly, there are so many unsold seats in the Amphi for nearly every performance of R&J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I'm on my normal browser including after I sign into my ROH account (non friend), ALL R&J performances are currently showing as unavailable. It offers me a link to "Find out more about premium booking". I now know I have to open it in an incognito window instead and then I get the option to buy tickets, but it seems that any number of cookies or maybe browser extensions can upset the system.
