    Looking forward to a weekend at Queen’s

    See here for some details. It's not for some time yet!

    I don't think sharing of the book through this site would comply with AUP.

    It’s not. The Rose Adagio is the tribute to Margot Fonteyn.

    You could get a Promming ticket on the day!

    They can't for this bill as they have to lay the floor for Month and then take it back up again afterwards.

    It’s in the music, and (accordingly) it’s in the choreography!

    Have you ever heard of google? I know you have to get past the Glencore executive of the same name but it doesn’t take a lot of wit to be able to find info about Alex Beard on the internet. What I will say is this. Beard took time out of his schedule to meet me and explain to me open the Open Up project when I was unconvinced. A couple of weeks ago, a day after I had signed up to a production syndicate (as a result of a drunken promise to Kevin O’Hare, but that’s another story), he was accompanying some important people of the ballet world down the “back stairs” and stopped to thank me and shake hands. At the benefactors’ lunch, he walks around talking to people without the need of assistance from the development office, unlike his predecessor. He has a huge interest in opera (from childhood) and, I have no doubt, in ballet too. He knows what he is doing. And what he is doing is a good job.

    I don’t understand. The casting for Coppélia is on the website.

    Perhaps we could leave this thread for news and discussion about actual promotions, and continue the discussions about what promotions people would like to see on the thread started for that purpose?

    Just to follow up on our conversation yesterday evening, this is one of a pair of portraits of Osipova; the other was auctioned for charity a couple of years ago but a picture can be found on the artist's website.

    As it should be, because we use the sharing function when we do the links!

    Let's not go bandying around blame here when none of us is in possession of the facts. Someone somewhere has cocked-up and that's all we know. Let's just be happy for Sambé and get on with it.

    It’s commonly known as a “cock-up”.

    Yes, I know that. It was more the point that Macaulay would make a statement in this manner (the implication being that the RB is doing something very different from NYCB and, therefore, bad) but not then finish up with the actual facts when known (particularly when they rather blow his point out of the water).

    I saw him there, during the first interval.

    Work - gotta pay those bills!
  21. bangorballetboy
    Did he then tweet about the actual running time (which was less than 40 minutes...)?
  22. bangorballetboy
    Well, yesterday I left the house at 0615 and returned at 0340 this morning, but I did also do the Fonteyn & I insight too...

    At the Patrons' and Premium Friends' Season Preview, KOH said "half an evening, so half the price."
  24. bangorballetboy
    Not all cast changes result from current injury or illness. For example, there’s a SiC change involving Naghdi but she is still dancing Firebird tonight.

    A little reminder that KOH said at the Patrons’ and Premium Friends’ Season Preview that there would be new principal castings in Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake.
