capybara Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Now that the General Rehearsal is under way and the cast is up for tonight (see the info. thread) we can, at last, begin to comment on RB performances. It's been a long summer without them and, especially now that we are beginning to discover who will be dancing the secondary roles as well as the starry Kitri/Basilio couples, I can't wait. Best wishes to the Company for a fantastic season. 14 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linnzi5 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Just finished the second act and really looking forward to the last. Obviously, I’m not allowed to specifically comment but I will say I’ve really enjoyed it so far. I also don’t think it’s inappropriate to say that I am so impressed with Yasmine Naghdi - she is just stunning, IMO! 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiB Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Hope this is allowed as my first time posting, my daughter has just had her first curtain call with Gamache and Lorenzo, if anyone has any photos I would be so grateful 🙏 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 And I don't think it's giving away any secrets to just say Yasmine Naghdi and Matthew Ball are a great pairing: you all know that! I know many feel this DonQ is not a great production but it's fun. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linnzi5 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) Well. That was amazing. Anyone booked to see this cast will not be disappointed, I think. I had a lovely afternoon. I had a stalls circle standing ticket (D32) and it was a brilliant view. I am very short, so was worried I wouldn’t be able to see, but it was really good. I prefer to sit, but at £6, this ticket was incredible value for money. I stood for the performance and sat in the intervals! 🤣 Edited September 30, 2023 by Linnzi5 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missfrankiecat Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I'm about to set off for drinks and food before tonight's performance. So excited to see the company in action after the Summer and especially Nunez and Muntagirov. I feel very lucky. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Dancer's Diary there this afternoon and many of the dancers repost his fabulous pictures And congratulations to your daughter!

JohnS Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I ended up seeing the first two Acts of the General Rehearsal and the last two thirds of Our Voices although I was very tempted to stay for the whole of the General Rehearsal. Lovely to see @NikkiB‘s posts and all the follow ups. No real comment about the General Rehearsal but I couldn’t help wondering if Rocinante wasn’t content just to sign the ROH Orchestra petition and had decided to take his own stand. We’ll see what he does tonight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ondine Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I've updated this thread from the 'Ballet / Dance News and Information' forum as obviously the newbies to the company are all having 'first outings' on stage! Wishing them all a happy future. Don Q is a great fun ballet to be in I'm sure, and how exciting. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about whether rehearsals are allowed though - I'm sure someone else would know but I'm presuming not. For the first time EVER, I took some lovely photos today - typical! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob S Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Nuñez on top form this evening and particularly smiley 😀 Great to see Teo Dubreuil back on stage too, he’s on matador duty 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
