lartiste Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Booking is now open for the Mikhailovsky company tour to London in March/April of this year. I've just snapped up tickets for performances of Giselle on 26th March - casting yet to be announced but I'm crossing my fingers for Osipova - and Laurencia 2nd April 2012. I'm really surprised there hasn't been a press release yet to announce that tickets are now on sale! 26th-29th March Giselle ou Les Wilis http://www.eno.org/see-whats-on/productions/production-page.php?&itemid=2365 30th- 31st March Don Quixote http://www.eno.org/see-whats-on/productions/production-page.php?&itemid=2366 2nd-3rd April Laurencia http://www.eno.org/see-whats-on/productions/production-page.php?&itemid=2367 5th-6th April Multiplicity. Forms of Silence and Emptiness http://www.eno.org/see-whats-on/productions/production-page.php?&itemid=2368 7th April Without Words. Nunc Dimittis.

Sim Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Thanks Blackdove, but is this reliable info? Originally it had said that it will be Vasipova on the Mikhailovsky website, but on the Coliseum website it still says that casting for the 26th is to be announced...

Caspermil Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I got my Mikhailovsky tickets on 9th January. Past experience has proven that eno are poor at some pre-publicity, so I was checking with eno website daily! Website still says that the casting for 26th is tbc, but am hoping it'll be Osipova/Vasiliev. Ballet News has given a full schedule, see link - http://balletnews.co.uk/mikhailovsky-ballets-london-tour-casting/ - but of course all could be subject to change. (Am booked for 26/3, 30/3 and 2/4 - yey!) Now keeping an eye out for The Bolshoi at RoH between 29 July and 17 August - programme is likely to include Sleeping Beauty, Flames of Paris, La Bayadere, and others. I believe that the wonderful Andrey Merkuriev will be dancing - http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/groups/6335594233/ and http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEEzUXN3nPUR9-u3Tc9pMg96a5SQEUWH6&feature=mh_lolz (hope you can open these!).

jmhopton Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I went to the Coliseum yesterday and decided to risk booking for a possible Osipova/Vasiliev as first night Giselle casting. The ENO box office didn't have any Giselle casting at all despite every night but the first having being announced for a while on both the ENO and the Mikhailovsky websites.

capybara Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I went to the Coliseum yesterday and decided to risk booking for a possible Osipova/Vasiliev as first night Giselle casting. The ENO box office didn't have any Giselle casting at all despite every night but the first having being announced for a while on both the ENO and the Mikhailovsky websites. Joan When I was at the Coliseum Box office last Tuesday, I overheard a member of staff reading out all the Mikhailovsky casting, including the first nights for Osipova and Vasiliev. So, unless that has changed, it is very odd that someone there is now saying that they do not have the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmhopton Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 They didn't just say they didn't have the casting info. for any of the Giselles he showed me his computer screen all showing TBC for all Giselles. When I said casting was on their website he just said staff hadn't been told. Joan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you have posted, at the bottom of the post on the left hand side of "multiquote" there are some options. They look greyed out but when you hover over them you can click and use them.

restor Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) with reference to Ian I wonder if anyone will try to freeze the box office receipts in London...The Bank of Moscow journalists Delovoe.

Amelia Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Worrying news from Milan: Ivan Vasiliev has cancelled his debut in Le Notre Dame de Paris just before the start of the performance because of back pain: http://www.gramilano.com/2013/03/ivan-vasiliev-is-forced-to-cancel-debut-at-the-last-minute/ I hope nothing is serious, he will not suffer too much and will be fit very soon.

Amelia Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 There is more information about the unfortunate circumstances of Ivan Vasiliev’s cancelled debut: “Vasiliev, made-up and ready to take on the role for the first time, as well as making his first appearance at Milan’s famed opera house, was limbering up on stage half an hour before the curtain. Landing after a jump he felt pain in his back, and after quick consultations with specialists, it was decided that he couldn’t go on. Coviello, who had danced his unique scheduled performance that afternoon, and was hanging around to see Vasiliev in the role, was hurriedly ushered into make-up to prepare in the 25 minutes remaining before the start.” http://www.gramilano.com/2013/03/ivan-vasilievs-injury-gives-unknown-claudio-coviello-a-chance-to-shine/?fb_source=pubv1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amelia Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 A wonderful news! Ivan Vasiliev at last felt strong enough to make his début at La Scala yesterday in the role of Quasimodo in Roland Petit’s ballet Notre-Dame de Paris. It was highly successful: http://www.gramilano.com/2013/03/ivan-vasiliev-drives-milan-wild-in-his-la-scala-debut/?fb_source=pubv1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
