Bluebird Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) Most of the casting for the two mixed bills is now back on the ROH website. However, the casting for the New Marriott is no longer there. For the other works, the names appear to be the same but, for some unfathomable reason, the Serenade mixed bill names are listed in a different order! Still no casting for The Concert.

bangorballetboy Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I have moved a couple of posts about casting for Sleeping Beauty to the thread regarding booking period 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangorballetboy Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Not casting as such, but I thought this was the best place for this information. When I booked for Draft Works this morning, I learned that it is "on the traverse" (i.e. the seating is like last year, on both sides of the stage, as it was for Hansel and Gretel).

Yes, but IMHO the acceptable use policy forbids discussion of that here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrischris Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Yes, but IMHO the acceptable use policy forbids discussion of that here. Ok, cool. I was just curious whether it was surgery related etc and they would be out for months. Just noticed Cope has also been replaced. That's annoying. Was really looking forward to seeing her in SV.

alison Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 So, the casting nightmare goes on. What a shame for those dancers - I wish them all a full, and as speedy as possible, a recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangorballetboy Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I can understand that she must feel a bit stuck... Let's not speculate on matters like that. There are a myriad of reasons (good, bad, indifferent...) why someone may take a sabbatical, most of which will never be known by anyone other than the person themselves, close friends and family and their employer (which, IMHO, is as it should be). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't notice that. Also just noticed Pennefather is still listed for DGV,so hopefully that is a sign he is back dancing but easing in to it.

chrischris Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I always think it's good when you hear of dancers taking sabbaticals or pursuing projects outside of ballet. So many athletes struggle when their careers come to an end, having something outside can only be a positive thing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mijosh Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 It has been well publicised (so I'm not breaking anyone's confidence) that the main reason for Leanne Cope's sabatical is to appear in Christopher Wheeldon's staged version of the musical "An American in Paris" which is to have it's premiere at the Chatalet Theatre in Paris in December prior,it is hoped,to New York. Leanne will be dancing the role created by Leslie Caron in the '50s movie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leanne Cope workshopped the role and I'm hoping she will be dancing in the real show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mallinson Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Yes, as Lee says, no casting has been announced for the Paris run or for the subsequent NY outing. Let's leave this matter till it's official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Wall Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Leanne Cope workshopped the role and I'm hoping she will be dancing in the real show. Her partner in crime in that workshop outing is a spectacular dancer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrischris Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Just noticed that since the original posting of this news, casting for DGV has changed. Kish, Pennefather and Mendizabal have been replaced for some, but not all, of their performances. Seems a bit odd, but with all the injuries, they must have to re-jig casts. http://www.roh.org.uk/news/cast-changes-serenade-sweet-violets-dgv-mixed-programme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrischris Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I'm not sure there's actually anything new since you posted in April, chrischris, is there? DGV had been updated, and has been updated again, as per bluebird's post. Wonder whether this means changes to the R&J casts for the tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 There was a very illuminating Insight about Alastair Marriott's Connectome last night - modestly elucidated and coached by the choreographer and his assistant, Jonathan Howells and with a helpful input from the Cover Conductor Martin Georgiev. We also had the bonus of seeing the first cast in full - Osipova, McRae and Watson (as advertised) supported by a group of young men Marriott first encountered when making pieces at the Royal Ballet School. They are: Luca Acri, Matthew Ball, Tomas Mock and Marcelino Sambe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
