Tony Newcombe Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 My original info was that she hoped to dance the last performance. Fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinMM Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I have a ticket for Swan Lake on April 9th ....Cuthbertson /Muntagirov  For ages now because of Cuthbertsons injury it has been saying tba for her name but I see that her name is back there.  Does this mean she will be dancing on the 9th ....I will be delighted if she is ...or is this an error on the ROH website now?

Jamesrhblack Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I don't think it's ever said TBC for Cuthbertson's Swan Lake. From what she has said on social media, I don't think she will be dancing in Swan Lake. There was a TBC for a while but it's definitely listing her again and also on her ROH People page. According to the website Lamb is fit for Tatiana and Zucchetti is back too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Newcombe Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 The TBCs were for Von Rothbart. Lauren's name has always been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevsky Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 It is in the ROH magazine that the Swan Lakes which originally listed Lauren Cuthbertson are shown as TBC. The website has given her name all along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Yes you could be right there Nevsky as I KNOW I ve seen it somewhere. Â On a lighter note it took me ages to work out what the "c" was in "tbc" (hence why I put tba......to be announced.....yesterday walking in St James Park I said to a dancing friend what does the "c" mean "Confirmed" you numbskull you......." Enough said! Â I just hope Muntagirov dances that day and he doesn't get moved too ....for all sorts of re arranging of partners that may be unfortunately required.

Beryl H Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I think Vadim Muntagirov will still dance if he's okay, I have my own idea of who might partner him, but I suppose I shouldn't speculate here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmie Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 ...On a lighter note it took me ages to work out what the "c" was in "tbc" ...  I wish it was 'To Be Cuthbertson' .  I think Vadim Muntagirov will still dance if he's okay, I have my own idea of who might partner him, but I suppose I shouldn't speculate here  Go on, speculate . If anybody does know please post! (I've a ticket for the 9th April as I was really keen to see Cuthbertson in Swan Lake after her Sleeping Beauty last year). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I'm going to say every day "to be Cuthbertson" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aileen Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 My guess would be Lamb, if she's fit, as she has missed two of her scheduled performances of Swan Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Well he has danced with Akane Takada a few times but don't know whether she's down to do Swan Lake. Â If it can't be Cuthbertson I wouldn't mind seeing perhaps a debut in this role? Â Has Fumi Kaneko ever danced The main role in Swan Lake? Â Ive never seen Lamb in this role but although I do like her in some things I'm not sure about her for Swan Lake......she's never really moved me before now! Â Going back again to the casting ......I'm still hoping then that if Cuthbertsons name has always been there .....on the website at least....for the 9th then "they" are also hoping she has a chance to be fit by then?

Beryl H Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I think it will be Sarah Lamb, she missed her own Swan Lakes, and danced very well with Vadim in Manon, both being very elegant, Akane Takada is dancing around the same time so probably won't be her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 It would make sense, although at the same time if she was cast so early in the run there may have been a good reason for that. It may have been because she had a lot of dancing in the mixed bills, in which case they might prefer not to cast her late on in the run.

alison Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Obratsova replaced by Salenko on Saturday matinee:Â http://www.roh.org.uk/news/cast-change-evgenia-obraztsova-unable-to-dance-in-swan-lake-on-21-march-2015 Â Finally confirmed that Cuthbertson won't be dancing Odette-Odile, but no confirmation of replacement yet.

bangorballetboy Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Is it likely that Lamb will replace Cuthbertson if she (Lamb) is being replaced by Takada in Four Temperaments? I very much doubt it as Lamb is replaced "due to injury" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Unless she was injured for rehearsals, but might be capable of doing Swan Lake since it's a role she already knows? Guess we'll have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beryl H Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 There is a short rehearsal video of Iana Salenko and Steven McRae rehearsing Swan Lake on the ROH website, it says Iana will also dance with Vadim Muntagirov later this run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â As suspected (re Vadim's partner) and at last they tell us!!!! But why bury the announcement in a piece about tomorrow's matinee and why not change the website?

Â Interesting! Perhaps they are hoping that someone else (!!!) will recover sufficiently to essay the role on the other two dates. Â But poor Vadim! He seems to have had to adapt to a range of partners at almost every stage since he joined the RB. If I recall correctly he: Â took over as Nunez's partner in Sleeping beauty last spring had a fairly last-minute change of partner from Cuthbertson to Lamb in Manon substituted (with Nunez) in the first performance of Symphonic while maintaining his original partner (Hamilton) took over the first night of Alice with Lamb and later danced with Hayward as scheduled and now faces the prospect of at least two partners for Swan Lake. It says much for his talent that he can do all this with aplomb. Of course, he has also been appearing as a guest abroad and in a range of galas!!!! And let's not forget that he must be rehearsing Four Temperaments and Fille as well by now. Phew!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aileen Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Well, all this bringing in of guests tells me that the RB needs another female principal now as the company can't cover long runs if there are absences due to injury or other reasons.

alison Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Interesting! Perhaps they are hoping that someone else (!!!) will recover sufficiently to essay the role on the other two dates. Or Salenko may have other commitments, I suppose. Â But poor Vadim! He seems to have had to adapt to a range of partners at almost every stage since he joined the RB. He's ex-ENB, so I guess he's used to adapting to a variety of ballerinas. Fortunately for the RB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beryl H Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 So the game is still afoot for the 2nd and 9th  does anyone else thing how odd it is that today's ballerina Evgenia Obraztsova has to be rushed back to Moscow because they don't have anyone to cover Lady of the Camellias, the RB doesn't have anyone else for Swan Lake and has to rush in a ballerina from Berlin.  I agree that Vadim Muntagirov has luckily proved to be very good at partnering different girls at short notice, so has Matthew Golding, on that score alone they deserve lots of praise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Salenko looks gorgeous in that short clip above (thanks Bluebird) and made me want to see more. Sadly, I won't be (unless she ends up dancing on the 2nd as well), so I look forward to some reports later on please!!
