MJW Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 As the General Rehearsal is tomorrow afternoon and the run starts that evening, I thought I'd start the thread. I thought that Laura Morera mentioned in last week's Insight that Will Bracewell and Yasmine Naghdi would be performing in the General tomorrow. Hopefully that will be the case, as I'm not booked to see them otherwise. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Laura said Stage rehearsal, which may or may not be the same thing as there are several rehearsals in the lead up to the General. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

art_enthusiast Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Might it be the Melissa Hamilton cast potentially? Interested in reports if it is, as I’ve booked for her performance 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LianneEva Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I've got a ticket for the General tomorrow and will be delighted with any cast, but have my fingers extra crossed for Kaneko, Nunez, Hamilton or Lamb please, ballet Gods! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Delighted to see Lauren Cuthbertson again after- years. Matthew Ball is always on duty when I get to a rehearsal Always pleased to see him . So - look forward even though I don't like the ballet! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it makes sense for Lauren and Matt to do the general as Lauren has not performed a three-act ballet for a long time. Looking forward to it as I don't have tickets for this cast. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emeralds Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) Looking forward to members' reports for Manon this month as I'm not attending till February (good to have the opera house shared with Royal Opera to space out the performances). Watching the RB "50 years of Manon" Insight Event on YouTube as a pre-show "warm up" event! Edited January 17 by Emeralds 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cescablue Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 The ushers are evicting quite a number of people from the rear of the stalls during first interval of the general rehearsal...

It appears that some people were sat in the empty seats rather than those they were allotted which appeared to be immediately behind the official photographers - understandably!

Mary Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Hard to take my eyes off Gary Avis Delightful as are Cuthbertson and Ball. What an actor. I'd love to see his Macbeth. Or Antony. Anyway..ballet... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Yes.. indeed revolting. But so brilliantly 3 dimensional and believeable done by Avis . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJW Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 (edited) Well that was certainly better than a day at work! Cuthbertson especially was excellent this afternoon. Back for more on the 3rd. Edited January 17 by MJW 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 What an incredible general. No-one stole the show for me because I thought they were all superb. Lauren and Matt highly emotional, both in great physical shape, and really connected. Wonderful dancing from both of them and as has been said, they took risks and it paid off very handsomely. I could go on but I shouldn't because it was a rehearsal. I will just say that anyone seeing this cast has a treat in store. And now for tonight.... 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silke H Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 All I’m saying is that I bawled in the end (in a good way). If anyone was in doubt whether to see Cuthbertson / Ball cast, go and get a ticket immediately. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blossom Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Despite having tickets for tonight I am envious as would have loved to go today but its an insanely busy week at work (and tickets were like gold dust). Really looking forward to opening night and some debuts . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
