Dawnstar Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 24 minutes ago, art_enthusiast said: maybe it went to your spam folder first, then got automatically deleted or something...seems unlikely though given the timings I doubt it, because when I checked my spam folder I had a couple of weeks' worth of emails in there. 21 minutes ago, art_enthusiast said: Indeed - unprecedented times. I suppose there's no chance that Natalia might do the performance on the 13th...or the one on the 1st Feb later in the run. I understand that's not how it works, but as there are no more tickets for the 29th Jan performance I'm trying to hope I might be able to see her in the role somehow! I really hope Osipova doesn't do 1st February because I've been looking forward to seeing Nunez/Bonelli on that date since I booked back in August! I'm sure there will be more returns for 29th January nearer the time, with people getting covid & having to isolate, or there's always Friday rush.

Candleque Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Going back upstream to the discussion around Yasmine Naghdi replacing Akane Takada as Alex Campbell's Juliet, rather than his frequent partner, Francesca Hayward, I saw that Frankie is appearing with Cesar Corrales in the Ballet International Gala in Australia later this month. She did a takeover on their Instagram Stories, which is a fun peek behind the scenes at the ROH. Cesar did a takeover as well showing his daily routine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC didn't Alex and Yasmine Naghdi perform R&J together (McMillan production) somewhere like the UAE a couple of years ago (guesting with a company I can't remember). Again IIRC Gary Avis was also performing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's set me scrolling back through Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/p/BbaIsE8Ht0Z/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BbaLlf9FHNG/ November 2017 with Perm Opera. That was nearly a year before I first was the RB live so I wasn't following any of the dancers on social media so didn't know about it. If I had done then, per my comment on the previous page, I would have been less surprised! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinMM Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Re ROH emails : I just checked ....in case I’d imagined it....I got an email on 6th December : hoping I’d enjoy my up and coming Nutcracker (on the 9th) but to be aware Yasmine Naghdi will be replacing Akane Takada on 6th and 9th December. I don’t know whether people actually going on the 6th got this email a couple of days earlier but otherwise would have been rather short notice for them. For some reason this didn’t surprise me though as I was wondering whether Akane had been nursing some kind of injury in the November Giselle.

FionaM Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Is there a full cast list for tonight’s opening R&J? I see over 200 tickets for sale in all levels 😢. Maybe it’s an opportunity for some close to London to get really good seats … front row Donald Gordon tier for instance, expensive I realise, but they are not usually available!

alison Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Oddly enough, so have I. I didn't notice it yesterday because it was very quickly followed by the notification of change of starting time for a different performance. I wonder if the notifications were sent out at different times depending on the performance booked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a time when they discouraged leaving luggage, but yesterday when I left my coat, the member of staff said I could leave anything I wanted! It's not like at a museum though where there are coin operated lockers, but I doubt they will turn away your laptop and I'm sure it will be safe.

jmhopton Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 To change the subject rather, does anyone have a link to the pricing for next season, specifically the Ashton programme? I know we can't book yet but I'd like to have some sort of idea as to what to budget for. I think there was a page in the last Friends magazine but I can't find mine.

jmhopton Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Thanks very much MJW and oncnp. That's very helpful. Interesting the top amphi seats are about half what they were for Swan lake and Romeo. I know triples are always cheaper but even so... Still I'm not complaining! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
