Benjamin Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 4 minutes ago, MildConcern said: As though to whet the appetite for next season, Bolle has posted a short clip on his instagram story of Kaneko and Muntagirov rehearsing Don Q for his upcoming Friends show. Unlikely they are cast together on ROH stage, but it seems they have started getting rehearsal time in! Sounds good! I feel like there’s definitely a possibility for Don Q. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casting is some time in the future though (usually several weeks before booking opens but who knows this year?). Probably the vast minority here, but for me who is more important than what.

Ondine Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 How splendid would A Wedding Bouquet be! ‘Charming! Charming! Charming!’ 'Josephine may not attend a wedding...' and Pepe the dog. Sadly unlikely I suspect. I wonder who would be cast if it was revived? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it was scheduled for the first time in decades in the summer of 2020 but never saw the light of day While I hope it does get rescheduled I'm not sure I want it next season, because I had booked to see Calvert & Campbell in it and if it's done next season she won't be able to do it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blossom Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 (edited) The Friends email was very nicely laid out but did not outline all of these programmes, but rather excited by the press release!

Benjamin Posted April 26, 2023 Author Share Posted April 26, 2023 This season is pretty bad, no new production, Half the Season is a Ashton or Macmillan Celebration (whatever that means), The Dante project, again! Obviously swan Lake, The Nutcracker and Manon. Happy to see Don Q. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondine Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 (edited) Bums on seats. Presumably still trying to recoup pandemic losses? Also big ballets required in order to give everyone a chance to actually dance? More fairies: The Dream I suspect several Puck debuts.
