capybara Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Fumi Kaneko has posted a series of images from her stage call yesterday on her IG account which hold the promise of a great Manon from her. We really do have luxury casting to look forward to in the title role. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really do have luxury casting to look forward to in the title role. Certainly can't wait to see her, Muntagirov, Sissens and Dias on the 27th - good luck to all of them. Particularly after seeing Joseph's rehearsal, wow. Also can't wait for his Swan Lake with Sasaki. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Perregrino Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 3 hours ago, JohnS said: I was delighted to hear that Laura is ‘staging’ Manon so has a role beyond that of principal coach for some of the dancers. But I’m unsure what the staging role entails and would be very interested to hear what it covers. Perhaps being lined up to take the baton from Lady MacMillan?

LinMM Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Am seeing Kaneko and Hayward but having to weigh up whether to see Naghdi and Ball in Manon or Swan Lake as can’t afford both! Loved this Insight….. it’s quite a pressure for the dancers to put in more than one change so immediately and in front of an audience rather than studio situation!

You won't see Naghdi and Ball in Manon....so Swan Lake it must be!! In Manon, Naghdi is with Will B, and Matthew is with Lauren C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Yes the focus was seeing Naghdi in one of these roles lol! Having just watched the Insight last night it seems rather remiss of me to mistake Bracewell for Ball lol!! So it’s Naghdi in Manon or Swan Lake …What do you think?!

JohnS Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Many thanks @PeterS. I’m more interested in finding out about the staging role rather than the overall MacMillan custodial role. For Nutcracker the cast sheet shows Christopher Carr, Gary Avis and Samantha Raine were all responsible for staging. In addition principal coaching lists: Alexander Agadzhanov, Darcey Bussell, Olga Evreinoff, Isabel McMeekan, Christopher Saunders and Edward Watson. We often see dancers with their coach in Insights, World Ballet Day, the cinema interval features etc. But I don’t know what staging covers and what the relationship is between those staging and those coaching. Perhaps staging becomes more important where choreographers/producers are not available for revivals etc but I’d be keen to know more rather than speculate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naghdi is doing the cinecast of Swan Lake so you could see both by seeing her in that at the cinema & Manon live. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinMM Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Looks like it’s April 24th for live ( should be my first day back up in London ballet classes so if that goes to schedule can’t make that … the encore is on the Sunday 28th so should be able to make that in Brighton at our lovely Arts Cinema! Of course still don’t know if can make the March 7th Swan Lake with Corrales/ Magri but if can that will be the other performance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawnstar Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Having finally caught up with Friday's Insight stream last night, I thought I'd go back & watch the one from the previous run tonight, but I can't find it on Youtube even though there are Insights on there going back several years earlier. I'm sure I remember watching one in 2019 with Christopher Saunders coaching. Am I going mad? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Was there a Manon in 2019? I only ask because I have a 2018 Manon ticket sitting on my bedside cabinet at the moment. (£4 - so must have been a rear amphi standing, I suppose. Those were the days ... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2018 run was a few months before I first saw the RB live so I didn't attend that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say I recall that at all but I do have a Facebook account, though I haven't used it for years, so I guess I could have watched it on there. What a pity that it's therefore presumably lost in the mists of internet time. ETA I've found it! I did get the date wrong, as it's dated 2018 so it must have been for that run rather than the 2019 run & then I must have watched it about a year and a half later.

Despite misgivings from some, the casting is interesting for the triple and I think the company is pulling out the stops for this. I think both Danses Concertantes and Requiem will be well received, no doubt Different Drummer will have mixed reception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I was assuming they'd be dancing together, with her in some smaller role that casting hasn't been announced for, but I guess 2 solos from different pieces would make more sense.
