BALLET ASSOCIATION Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Today (26th October) nearly 100 members of The Ballet Association had the privileged opportunity to watch two Royal Ballet rehearsals in the Clore Studio. This represented a return to pre-pandemic arrangements whereby the BA receives an annual invitation. After a welcome from Kevin O'Hare, the first of the treats was experiencing Christopher Saunders working with Marianela Nunez and Reece Clarke on Diamonds, where they will be one of the lead couples. The next hour was taken up with Valentino Zuchetti creating and rehearsing his new ballet with Francesca Hayward, Fumi Kaneko, Mayara Magri and Yasmine Naghdi for the same Diamond Celebration programme in November. It was a fabulous two hours - a real peep behind the scenes - in the margins of which members shared their impressions of recent performances, including Light of Passage and, especially, Vadim Muntagirov's sensational debut as Rudolf in Mayerling the Friday before. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 I'm sure it'll be interesting to hear him talking about all the Mayerling coaching he must have been doing. (Not to mention the "missing" 11 years of his career!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 Well, last night's was a very densely crammed interview - and even then there wasn't much coverage of the "missing" years unless it involved new creations. Lots of discussion about Mayerling, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
