capybara Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 ENB dancers Elena Glurdjidze, Arional Vargas, Katja Kaniukova and Joan Sebastian Zamora (who, like Fernando Montano hails from Columbia) are also appearing in this Gala. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAB Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Wonderful news, I hope Mr O'Hare and Ms Rojo are aware that the new Dubai opera house is due for completion in 2016. perhaps they should be offering their services now. The world capital of bling will probably stage an inauguration gala to eclipse all others. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Wall Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) Interesting to note in one of the side articles of the above link (i.e., the one on Italian dancers leaving Italy for further experiences and a greater opportunity to practically dance), that it mentions that Mara Galeazzi will 'briefly' be returning to the RB next season as a 'principal guest artist'. Has anyone heard any details as to this? Perhaps I missed it in the season outline. Edited July 25, 2014 by Bruce Wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Wall Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) Thank you. Do you know what she is 'guesting' in, 'bangorballetboy'? Edited July 25, 2014 by Bruce Wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Newcombe Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Mara, Lauren and Tom Whitehead were workshopping Cassandra last year. Hopefully this gives us an idea of the casting later in the year. Will be lovely to see Mara again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Well, I *thought* she was supposed to be in "Cassandra". That's why I was confused when only Cuthbertson's name was shown in the casting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetitDi Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Ludovic Ondiviela pushed to have Mara even though she was no more part of the company, and she is thrilled to be asked back. And by the way, Nina G., the BBC got it wrong: the Teatro Solís in Montevideo, Uruguay, was built thirty-six years earlier than the Bogotà theatre, and is quite beautiful (http://viajes.elpais.com.uy/2011/05/16/teatro-solis-que-lo-merezcamos/).
