alison Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Blast. I'd noticed the absence of Hay and Zucchetti, both of whom I would have expected to see in Giselle in the peasant pas de six. Best wishes to both for a speedy recovery - I'm assuming that they're injured - and to the others for the extra performances. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawnstar Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Hay doesn't seem to have had much Nutcracker luck in the last few years. When I was it in January 2019 he was also off injured, replaced by Sambe on that occasion. I see Zuchetti is still down for his Prince performances at the end of the run so hopefully that means he's expected to recover by then. I had noticed he was missing from R&J but had thought perhaps he was down for Mercutio in the Jan/Feb performances instead. In hindsight, I wonder if that was why Acri did Mercutio with 2 of the 4 casts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky enough to see O’Sullivan and Hay in a pre pandemic Nutcracker and he was wonderful. Despite the unfortunate circumstances however I’m very happy for Sissens and very much looking forward to seeing him now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinMM Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I love Hay in Nutcracker but I’m pretty sure Sissens will do very nicely! Anyway hoping if are injured will be back asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Claire Calvert is currently still down for Myrtha at the end of the run of Giselles: is there anything (publicly) available to indicate whether it's likely she'll be able to dance them?

People have been asking how it is going on IG but she has not responded to any of the comments. There's nothing current on her stories either. Which is no indication whatsoever of how her recovery is going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Looks like they’ve released quite a few Nutcracker tickets today as has been saying sold out for every pre Christmas performance until today. Today Ive managed to get a seat now for 9th December so my standing ticket for the same performance D9 will shortly be advertised. I treated myself because it’s just after my birthday but more because my hip flexor stress injury is still causing problems so not sure how well I can stand comfortably for any length of time just at the moment. There seem to be returns for most days showing currently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninamargaret Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I'm seeing Nutcracker on 23 Nov - ashamed to say it's many years since I 've seen it. Delighted to see Joe Sissens but I'm beginning to think I must put a jinx on James Hay - I always seem to miss him when he is dancing lead roles - Sleeping Beauty notably.

LinMM Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Oh dear what is happening to all the Myrthes! The current run of Giselles must truly have some awesome power!

alison Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Let's hope it's back in the rep soon, then. Probably not the best sort of role to be risking when you're recovering from a muscle tear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Bah! I just clicked on what was allegedly the casting for the cinema Nutcracker, only to find this: https://static.roh.org.uk/digital/cast-sheets/Autumn-casting-2021.pdf I'd assumed the ROH had given up doing these. It would have made my life so much easier to have it several months ago If anyone has the Winter equivalent, please could they post it in the Winter booking/casting thread? Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you mention it, I don't think I ever got one. There is no similar link on the Swan Lake cinema page. I tried fiddling with the web address of the Autumn list to change it to Winter 2022 and got error messages. Perhaps since Winter=Swan Lake and the principal casting was on the website they didn't bother (yet)? Edited December 14, 2021 by oncnp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I was going to see if there was an opera version too, by editing the URL, but I see there's no reference to "ballet" in the current URL, so I guess that's not possible. I'm really suffering through not having an easily consultable list of what's happening on the main stage - and maybe elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawnstar Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 This surprises me. Not that Takada is still injured but that Naghdi is the replacement. It had crossed my mind that Takada might be replaced but I would have betted on her replacement being Hayward, given she & Campbell are so often partnered together. Have Naghdi & Campbell danced together since Two Pigeons in January 2019? And that was also due to a cast change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard LH Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Yasmine Naghdi seems to be the default replacement recently for Akane Takada's too-frequent absences.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
