Vanartus Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Cast change: Natalia Osipova withdraws from Don Quixote on 5 January 2015 Natalia Osipova will not dance the role of Kitri due to injury. A replacement will be announced as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Thanks, Vanartus. My guess is it'll be a while yet before they announce the replacement: from what's on the website, it looks to me as though they're trying to give Golding a chance of dancing and need to find someone he can partner. But I've seen all the supporting cast already, so will probably give it a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aileen Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Am I right in thinking that, having originally cast seven Kitris, the RB is now down to four which includes a guest who is only coming in at the end of the run? That's difficult as it is a demanding role and the ballerina is on stage for much of the time. Yesterday, Akane had a tiny stumble almost as soon as she came on stage and this brought back memories of last year when she fell twice in her first minute on stage (thankfully no harm was done and she carried on with great composure). My pet theory for the unusually large number of slips/stumbles/falls in this production is that the moving scenery leaves small dents, ridges and 'skid' in the surface of the floor making it uneven.

alison Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 It did look unusually shiny just where she skidded, certainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aileen Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 How long will she have had to learn her part? It's a lot to get to grips with a new production which you are not familiar with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Dancing with Golding, I take it? Oh yes, just read the linked piece. That'll be good: she may not know the production, but she'll at least be familiar with her Basilio, which will count for a lot. I'm almost sorry I exchanged my ticket, except that I seem to be going down with a bit of a cold, so might not have made it anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beryl H Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 When I called at the Box Office at 5pm yesterday they said it was still tbc, which is still is, so hung on to the ticket, and am very pleased I did, as I have Blu-Rays of this couple in Don Quixote, Nutcracker and Cinderella, there is an extra rapport between them which will make tomorrow night exciting and is a lovely compensation for Matthew Golding. The bad news is that I don't feel very well and there is a 24 hour bus strike tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bus driver strike only affects East London buses (though that includes the RV1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
