It was the second post that made me want to respond...

it was, and I recall she was actually quite good!

Sorry, was at a concert and then the Wi-fi on the tube was rather ropey. I see Jan has already helpfully answered the query re OP. I think disappointment is a perfectly natural response to a singer or a dancer having to be replaced and one I have felt quite a lot recently, but I usually get over it. However, I think annoyance and insinuations about a singer’s illness are a step too far. I know there are some singers who have somewhat of a reputation for cancelling for what might appear to be less than understandable reasons but Yoncheva is most certainly not one of them.

I recall that being quite fun (towards the end...)!

I’m now expecting Liz McLarnon and Natasha Hamilton to pop up in the pit! 😎

Former ballet star faces sex assault charges
bangorballetboy replied to Pas de Quatre's topic in Doing Dance
Yes, it’s right to flag this report (which, as you say, is in the public domain) but it is important to remember at this time that these are only allegations. We shall have to let the legal system take its course. -
If you look closely you will see that I have actually liked some of your posts in the past. i have no issue with your post advising of a cast change, though the lack of context was a bit puzzling at first. I do take issue that you are “annoyed” at someone cancelling because they are ill and, more so, at your negative insinuation that they will be better in time for the filmed performance (which is weeks away). You completely ignored the question you were asked (the website does indeed show the cast change affects one performance only at this time) when doing that. As I said, I think that’s pathetic, noting that the artist won’t be paid for the show she is missing.

I find the original posting and the subsequent posting by the OP to be in extremely poor taste. In fact, I think it’s pretty pathetic.

Pretty much sums up the conversations I had last night! -
New ROH website - 2019 and 2022 versions
bangorballetboy replied to yumiko's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
I see both ballet and opera and have no problem in working this out (but then again, all the dates are in the season guide, though a few have changed, and the dates are also listed in the ROH magazine - twice!). -
Reece Clarke promoted to RB First Soloist
bangorballetboy replied to RuthE's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
Yes, big opera stars sometimes withdraw with no explanation. Also, there is no public information that Muntagirov was "withdrawn". I really wish people on this forum could be mature enough to realise that suppostion about cast changes such as Muntagirov/Clarke can be very inappropriate and potentially distressing for those involved. -

Reece Clarke promoted to RB First Soloist

In the first RB run of Onegin, the Onegins were Adam Cooper, Johan Kobborg, Nathan Coppen and Robert Tewsley. Martin Harvey joined this list in the second run, six months later. -
Is this an in-joke that I don't know about?

Royal Ballet Winter 2019/20 casting
bangorballetboy replied to Lizbie1's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
It may be human nature but it is not appropriate here. We have no right to the information unless the dancers or the Royal Ballet are willing to share it; I don't think it is discourteous in the least.- 302 replies

If no reason is given for a cast change, I don't think it is appropriate (or fair) to make suggestions as to it has been made.- 302 replies
