alison Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Thanks, Jane. I'll digest them properly later, but obviously some indications of the new directorship in the casting: nice to see we now have Rothbart being announced: wonder if this is a sign of things to come for other ballets? So the rumours of Acosta's a) not being used next season and c) (because the site seemingly doesn't allow "b" without turning it into a smiley )not doing any more Classical ballets have turned out to be untrue. I intended to say this last autumn on the old site, but couldn't quite fit it in anywhere relevant: the "RB in rehearsal" featuring Requiem last autumn had Ed Watson standing in for Federico Bonelli (who wasn't injured or anything, but had been featured the night before), and even with the little we saw him do I decided I'd really like to see what he'd do with the role, so that's one wish fulfilled.

Jane S Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 I'm very pleased to see so many 'junior' names in the casting - it seemed to have become quite rare to see a second cast that was anything other than just a different set of principals. I was a little confused by the Las Hermanas casting but now I assume the 3 women are given in the order Eldest Sister/Mother/Youngest Sister - an interesting choice for Cojocaru if so. Or does anyone see it differently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I think you must be right, but would you say the mother is the third female role? It's last century since I last saw it, and I can't remember (plus may be getting confused with My Brother, My Sisters). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane S Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 It could be the jealous sister, I guess, which would also fit Morera and Mendizibal - possibly better in fact. Glad they got the two casts of the Man right (i.e. what I thought they should be!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Yes, makes sense (even though I can still only ever see Joe Cipolla in the role!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 So glad that Cuthbertson/Bonelli are continuing their brilliant R&J/Alice partnership with Swan Lake. Long may it continue! Really looking forward to seeing Las Hermanas again too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynette H Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Seems a bit odd that Takada gets only one shot at Odette, and on a midweek matinee too. Is there a schools peformance or something that she might be doing as well ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amelia Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I have a question about one particular date in Period 1 - the 30th of October. Unlike all other October days, which are shown in red and are available for booking, the 30th is in black and doesn’t respond to a click. On the other hand I saw this: MRF Future engagements http://www.royal.gov.uk/LatestNewsandDiary/Royaldiary/MRFFutureengagements.aspx?MRF=DE 30th October 2012. The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh will attend "Our Extraordiary World - a Gala Celebration" at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, ... Does anyone know about the programme for this gala and whether tickets for it will be on sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MargaretN7 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Tickets have been on sale - at gala prices which includes a gift aidable donation in aid of ROH Foundation. May be a few left Need to ring Helena Price on 020 7212 9469, or email her helena.price@roh.org.uk Mixed opera and ballet, ballet has premieres by Wheeldon, Marriott, McGregor.

alison Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 They certainly haven't been made available to the general public - I only heard about it a few days ago. Anyway, what are "gala prices"? At the ROH they've been known to range from affordable (for the cheap seats) to totally-out-of-my-range. In fact, I think the reference I saw said that Osipova was supposed to be dancing. Can anyone confirm, or is my memory playing tricks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Wall Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) Sent an email to Ms. Price vis a vis 30th October performance ... but she is out of the office until 28th August ... She left the name of Yolanda Sze in her message. Her number is 0207212 9356 and email yolanda.sze@roh.org.uk ... although it does say this is for 'urgent' enquiries ONLY ... and I'm not sure that mine falls in that category .... In fact I'm sure it does not. I am hesitant to write myself .... especially as the ROH has not yet made awareness of this performance public knowledge as far as I am aware. If anyone else follows this route, I would be grateful to know of the response (if any) received. Bless you all.

I got a mailing about this ages ago and phoned to see if there were standing tickets, was told they'd ring back, they didn't and that was the end of my enquiry! It's certainly a public event and may not be sold out. Can't remember about the prices but as I recall they were higher than normal with an added premium. Worth trying again tomorrow week when the summer hols are over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
