alison Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Mmm, it is a bit patchy, isn't it? I'm glad to see Morera getting Anastasia again, as I thought her the best of the three, but I did wonder whether someone else might get a chance, given that Cuthbertson isn't available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for adding the 2023. I couldn't figure out how to go back and fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FionaM Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I would have liked to seen others tackle the Anastasia role. There are so many dramatically strong principals … Fumi, Yasmine, Akane 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Wayne McGregor: TBC And tangentially related....23 bands of seat prices? I read that as, as is often the case with new works, the casting is TBC not the piece itself. That said, I think that there have been times when a piece isn’t ready in time for its slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beryl H Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Many thanks for this advance casting of Anastasia, I was going to see the first two ballets and leave early, but now feel I must see Laura Morera as Anastasia, good to know which nights she is dancing!

Emeralds Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) Actually Mayara Magri was in the first cast of Corybantic Games, and the position of her name suggests that she’s reprising the same role (partnered by Marcelino Sambé in the pas de deux). Perhaps the asterisk was a typo error on the part of the company. Of the original cast, Lauren Cuthbertson is on maternity leave, Tierney Heap and Beatriz Stix-Brunell have left the company to pursue other careers, but Yasmine Naghdi is still with RB, so I wonder why she isn’t in the cast of Corybantic Games.....could she be taking a lead role in the new Wayne McGregor creation? She has always been an excellent interpreter of his works. Edited February 12, 2023 by Emeralds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawnstar Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 I see the Corybantic Games casting has been updated. Leticia Dias replaces Claire Calvert in the first cast. Luca Acri moves casts to replace Marcelino Sambe in the first cast with David Yudes replacing Acri in the second cast. Also some more Anastasia casting has been added with Ryoichi Hirano as Rasputin and Bennet Gartside as the Husband in the Morera cast and Matthew Ball as Rasputin in the Osipova cast. Still no casting for the new McGregor though. Surely by now that must have been cast, as I can't believe McGregor hasn't been choreographing it for some time, so I wonder why nothing has been announced with under a month to go. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 That sounds like bad news, then. I guess from the casting we're not getting the original Anastasia 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
art_enthusiast Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 No Marcelino! I hope he’s OK. Still, always glad to see Luca Acri. It will be interesting to see his pas de deux with Mayara, not sure if they’ve danced together much before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 The original, late 1960s (?) version, which is what I had hoped we were getting when it was announced that we were getting the one-acter. But from the starry casting for Rasputin I guess we're getting Act III - as altered early this century - ripped away from the 3-act version 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the nature of the occasion, surely most dancers would want to participate even if they were nursing an injury? In all probability, Marci’s next aim is to be fully fit for the RB’s tour to Japan. Best wishes to him (and Cesar who has already had to withdraw from that). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emeralds Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) Wayne McGregor’s new ballet is Untitled, 2023. I don’t mean that he still hasn’t thought of a name this year.....the name, inspired by Carmen Herrera’s art, is actually “Untitled”. 😂 Sounds fun- I quite like minimalist art. Hope there’s a lot of dancing. The casting is remaining very mysterious- wonder if there’s going to be a surprise..... 😊 Edited May 31, 2023 by Emeralds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangorballetboy Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Untitled, 2023 uses two pieces by Anna Thorvaldsdottir, CATAMORPHOSIS and METACOSMOS. The former is 20 minutes long and the latter is 15, so that suggests to me that the new work is around 35 minutes long. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
