alison Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 That means he gets the live relay, then? Something I'm sure all his fans in Oz and elsewhere far from London will appreciate. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I see Corrales is still down as dancing on the 27th though that doesn't always mean anything these days! They have at last corrected the 12th Feb and it now says Nagdhi is dancing rather than Hayward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycitybird Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 They haven't said anything about James Hay, so I'm hoping he'll still be dancing Two Pigeons. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Disappointed not to be seeing McRae and Corrales. At least ROH have told me this time....... The notification format does seem to have changed in that it just lists all affected performances rather than the one/s I am booked for. This is OK if it speeds up the process of notifying people... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bracewell replacing him on 23rd (mat) and 27th Feb. Muntagirov replacing him on 25th and 30th March. News section back in use it seems. Maybe the feedback is being heard. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridiem Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I'm so sorry about Corrales. I suppose (hope) that part of the reason he's being replaced for performances right into March may be that all this rep is new to him, so it's not just a question of brushing up a role (which would/could be quicker once he's fit again) but of learning it from scratch.

Dawnstar Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I hope that Capmpbell replacing McRae doesn't mean that he won't do his own scheduled performances with Magri later in the run. I've been eyeing up ticket possibilities for the end of March. (I'm not interested in seeing Takada.) By the way, does anyone who knows the Don Quixote production have any advice as to whether it would be better to sit in restricted view on the right or left of the auditorium or if it's about the same either side?

Please can we not start worrying about whether or not Campbell, or indeed Muntagirov, will also dance their scheduled performances. If there had been any change planned there, the item would have surely mentioned it. We do tend to move rather quickly into 'gloom and doom' overdrive sometimes 😉 Sooooooooo sorry that the wonderful Cesar Corrales is going to be 'out' for so long. He had rotten luck with injuries in his last season with ENB also. We need him on stage and I'm sure that he needs to be on stage too.

jmhopton Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Osipova and Muntagirov for Don Q on March 30th, WOW!!! I really booked for Coralles and am disappointed not to see him but to see Vadim with Osipova is something I've dreamed of for ever. I wasn't really envisioning Don Q; was thinking of something more classical but see no reason why it won't be sensational and my husband has a ticket for that performance too. Just wish it was the one being filmed; it could be sensational. Incidentally, although it is the main item of ROH News the performance pages still haven't been updated. On a sadder note I'm sorry Coralles' injury seems to be so serious and hope he is well enough for Romeo and Juliet with Hayward. it's such a shame he is missing out on debut roles he must have been so looking forward to. I was disappointed not to see him in Bayadere and 2 Pigeons and now Don Q but my disappointment must be nothing compared to his. Get well soon! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore I don't feel that it is "gloom and doom overdrive" that I'm worrying about the possible non-appearance of a male lead before potentially forking out £60+ for Don Q. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinMM Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Really sorry to hear that Corrales won't be fit for Don Q was so looking forward to that in particular. It must be quite a serious injury but sometimes if any operation is involved these things can take quite a few months. Hope he is better for Romeo at least! And yes it must be so disappointing for him too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But none of those situations are those where you have not seen the named dancer because they have been given additional shows due to the indisposition of another, which was the subject of the comment to which the response related.

Yes, there have been 2 high-profile instances that generated quite a lot of discussion so I'm certainly aware it can & does happen. Also at the moment I think I'm just generally worrying about cast changes after having them for 3 out of 3 performances. I'm someone who very much books to see particular singers/actors in opera/musicals/plays (not necessarily famous people) & my attempts to do the same with ballet are thus far not going too well!

LinMM Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I feel it's been like that for months now though.....not condoning it....but they obviously still haven't fixed the website issues then! It could be that with some injuries it's not known initially exactly how long they will take so the casts are left as long as possible until it is clear the person cannot perform on the projected dates. Though at the mo the ROH website does seem a bit slow in catching up with news that seems to be known in other quarters! it has been a strange season for me I must admit as three of the people originally booked for didn't or won't be dancing. I must have been extraordinarily lucky before or the injury rate of dancers is going up. I would still rather the dancers recovered properly though....even if means longer out ....the Andy Murray story is rather edifying....he has pushed himself too far ...it's very sad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizbie1 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) Mixed news: William Bracewell to be replaced by Alexander Campbell in Two Pigeons on 12th February and by James Hay on 16th February.

alison Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 And I was so looking forward to seeing him after that rehearsal ... Not that I have any objection to either of the Young Men, but I'd have thought Naghdi a bit tall for Hay. I just hope 2 Pigeons is brought back again, just so Bracewell gets a chance to dance it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard LH Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Yes, sorry not to see Bracewell but from all accounts Campbell is brilliant in this, so looking forward very much to his pairing with Naghdi. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riva Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Very sorry for William Bracewell - having been present for Ballet Studio Live and the Ashton Foundation Le Rossignol rehearsals I’ve been forming the opinion that he shows incredible promise as an interpreter of the Ashton choreography and was relishing the chance to see him in a principal Ashton role on stage... A Month In The Country it will have to be. I do hope he recovers quickly and is able to get back on stage soon. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
