    There are meanies everywhere but we aren't all meanies. I'd have handed them in, or called had there been a number!

    Well. 🤐 https://www.vogue.co.uk/article/wayne-mcgregor-profile Your new work also features costumes by Burberry’s Daniel Lee. Why did you want to team up with him? Daniel is an amazing dance aficionado and used to dance a lot as a child. He was able to respond to this incredible score by Anna Thorvaldsdottir, it is very textural and of epic scale, and elicits certain images. Daniel had that and a very particular image to work with because he knew I wanted something very raw and minimal.

    I think the music clips predate the ballet by quite some time? All will be revealed very soon, so far it's been pretty much under wraps hasn't it?

    A sticky label with phone number could be a good investment! https://www.wovenlabelsuk.com Strange coincidence, I've been sorting out my oddball collection of vintage and simply ageing binoculars (garden birdwatching) and opera glasses this week, cleaning etc, and have delved into the background history a little. The 'vintage' opera glasses it turns out are by a famous French maker Lemaire Paris (remarketed by TB Winter Newcastle https://collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/people/cp52672/t-b-winter ) with a 'bee' as logo, and the ones I like best for birds are probably Colmont Paris and most likely WWI. There is a name engraved on them, possibly the officer who owned them, British. Ebay has many photos of similar. Also forgotten about the 'folding' ones which I need to search for! I agree, weight is a consideration if you're holding them for any length of time in the theatre. I'm learning a great deal from this thread.

    If only I could! Instead I'll rewatch all this again, it's such joyful dancing. Anything with a tambourine is fun. I should dig mine out and rattle it along with the dancers!

    This was such a treat, thank you for posting all this, what a great idea to get the dancers 'out and about' and allow people there and also here in the UK to see these open air performances. Well done too to the dancers who hadn't the most ideal of conditions in which to perform, but an appreciative audience no doubt makes up for a great deal. (I had to laugh at the 'disembodied heads' walking past behind the dancers!)

    Both pieces being used for Untitled, 2023 new Wayne McGregor are on YT (both embedded links are to 'official' channnels) I posted a link to a few rehearsal photos yesterday on this thread, presumably casting will be announced very soon, but looks like a stellar cast.

    A review! WITH a roster of guest stars that Included Suzanne Farrell, Peter Martins and Peter Schaufuss, a New Yorker could have felt on familiar ground at the gala benefit staged here Wednesday night at the O'Keefe Center by the National Ballet of Canada... And yet it was an exciting evening of surprises that went beyond the obvious novelty of the company premiere of Sir Frederick Ashton's poetic Shakespearean ballet “The Dream.” ...Mr. Amyot, a young soloist attempting very difficult part, has a noble line that a stronger technique’ will find well served in the future https://www.nytimes.com/1978/02/17/archives/ballet-the-familiar-and-new-in-toronto.html

    I still have an exam one, stuck away from MANY years ago. I can honestly say... very little used.

    All those wigs... Also rapid costume changes: not so easy when you're VERY MOIST. People who don't like long intervals possiby should consider what is going on backstage!

    A few rehearsal photos of Untitled 2023 ntitled. 2023

    I thought this better here than in music? An interview in the Guardian. Anna Thorvaldsdottir is the composer whose music Wayne McGregor is using for his new work Untitled, 2023 which is mentioned and there is a link to the ROH site. Meanwhile, two of her orchestral scores are being used by choreographer Wayne McGregor in a new work for the Royal Ballet, Feel the force: the thrilling Icelandic soundscapes of Anna Thorvaldsdottir https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jun/06/composer-anna-thorvaldsdottir-interview-aldeburgh-festival-iceland?CMP=share_btn_tw

    This is so deserved. A fitting end to her dancing career and start of the next one!

    No, if you click the link it says 'buy access'. Fat chance of a freebie, sadly
  24. Ondine
    Yes.,that's the weird part, no credit, no mention that it's the Royal Ballet. Even with permission, which I'm assuming was given, you'd have thought a passing mention of the company at least.
  25. Ondine
    Which translated to pounds is not too bad. Cheaper than a night at the ROH at least. Well it is for me.
