capybara Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) Is anyone able to post the productions, dates and casts for the Royal Ballet on tour in Monaco and Japan, please? Also, it would be lovely to hear, in due course, how the performances went. Edited June 22, 2013 by capybara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 John posted this link http://www.nbs.or.jp/english/contents/schedule/the-royal-ballet-swan-lake/ a couple of days ago in the Cojocaru/Kobborg thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mallinson Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I don't think the Alice casting for Japan is accurate as I believe that Lauren Cuthbertson is not yet back on stage. Can't find Monaco casting for Manon though we know that Leanne Benjamin and Mara Galeazzi will be giving their last RB performances there. Perhaps someone who is going can enlighten us.

chrischris Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I heard that there were also doubts about Beatrix SB and Kish, who have both been injured, but I think Kish might be ok now as he is performing in South Africa over the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan McNulty Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Looks terrific Naomi. Is the Swan Lake PdQ the one choreographed by Ashton? (I love that particular one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naomi M Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Looks terrific Naomi. Is the Swan Lake PdQ the one choreographed by Ashton? (I love that particular one). Hi Janet, Yes I think this is the Ashton one, it says so on the Japanese website. Very much looking forward for this, and this gala is the last stage for Leanne Benjamin so there might be some ceremony for her. The program looks very good!

Naomi M Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Just come back from the Gala and it was fabulous. I don't have the time to report right now but will write later. The best part of the gala was Benjamin and Acosta's Manon (Bedroom scene) Leanne was so amazing, lovely, musical, expressive. Her Qualia with Watson was magnificent too. Can't believe she's retiring...She could dance a few more years. And Maylering final scene, Cojocaru, Kobborg and Cervera was also great, Alina and Johan danced this scene with so much drama and passion, although Johan seemed to have some difficulty with the lifts. Shame there was no ceremony or flowers for the departing artists. Yesterday, it was announced that Alina and Johan will withdraw from the Swan Lake performance on Friday, (replaced by Marquez and McRae) so today was their last stage as a member of Royal Ballet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Her Qualia with Watson was magnificent too. It was when they did it at a gala in London earlier this year, too. Thanks for the report, and do write more. Do we have any feedback from the Monaco trip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
