Something to look forward to during the coming months! The Ashton triple is particularly appealing and hopefully I will end up going to several performances 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA: lovely that she's paired with Bonelli, especially after their unexpected Giselles. Edited December 17, 2021 by Lizbie1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawnstar Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) Only one performance for them though, so getting tickets is probably going to be horribly difficult. ETA Having put the casting into a table so I can work out the combinations, it's even more awkward because the Morera/Bonelli performance is after the other 2 performances that I think I want to go to & with all 7 performances being within 10 days then there's going to be a significant danger of getting covid at one of the earlier performances then not being able to go to the later one.

Dawnstar Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I very much hope it will have improved but I can't believe that there will be no covid risk in only 4 months' time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candleque Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I've never seen Scènes de ballet (or even a video clip) but great to see that two of my faves, Yasmine Naghdi and Alexander Campbell, will be dancing it together. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Scènes de ballet is absolutely SUBLIME!!! There is a section that reminds me of the Rose Adagio from Sleeping Beauty and IIRC I read somewhere that Ashton had created it as a homage. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeralds Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Scenes de ballet should have been programmed two and a half years ago, but never mind....better late than never. I hope you’ll like it, Candleque- it’s a very elegant, in parts demanding ballet, but so impressive when done well. And despite being premiered in 1948 (with Fonteyn as the lead ballerina) it looks like it could have been created today- I always find that the choreography feels very modern, whether I’m watching it in 1990, 2000 or 2010. The music is by Stravinsky, another interesting feature, as Stravinsky is more associated with Balanchine’s work than Ashton, but I believe Ashton was said to have been very fond of this ballet. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Osipova/Bracewell in Month …. that will be a passionate pairing for this ballet! Also looking forward to seeing Hayward/Sambe dance Ashton together again. Their Fille was sensational. Interesting to see how the established partnerships have been mixed around. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've all been saying this since March/April 2020, but here we are looking at 2022 and we're still catching it and having to cancel or not go due to COVID. It's likely it'll still be somewhat of a factor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmarose Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Some really great pairings in the Ashton triple and I think Moreno will be perfect in the role, shame to see only one show though. It'll be interesting to see Bracewell pair up with Natalia too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t understand the logic of just one performance. Of course, there are a limited number of slots but this seems curmudgeonly to me… 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you mean Morera…although Moreno has been on the radar recently for her 90th birthday and her appearance in the new West Side Story. 😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinMM Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) Disappointing Morera has only one performance as by the time public booking comes around don’t think there will be many seats available. Also Saturday is the most difficult day to stay over in London for me (week days or sat matinees are always better) but if can get a ticket early enough might be possible. Otherwise it’s the Tuesday April 26th performance Id most like to see ( as well) There is that Monday 12.30 performance but am suspicious of that as could be a schools or Welcome performance I’m guessing.

Well, I have been talking about West Side Story lately elsewhere, so it may be that. But she deserves to be an auto write in. I know, absolute legend, still going strong too. I watched her in a show on Netflix, she's still dancing! Edited December 18, 2021 by emmarose 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it say if it was a Schools/Welcome performance? It's the Bank Holiday Monday, so I think/hope that's why there's a matinée that day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emeralds Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 They’re unlikely to put a Schools Matinee on a bank holiday- teachers won’t be able to take pupils outside school hours, much less a bank holiday. Rather astounded that Morera and Bonelli only get one show as that is the cast that many fans who have seen two of the other pairings are most likely to go for. Also, 7 shows seems a bit stingy considering there have been mixed bills with more performances. Another voice of disappointment here that James Hay is not among the Rhapsody leads, as I couldn’t attend his shows last time due to clashing dates. But the main thing is that at least we’re getting an all Ashton bill and one that includes Scenes de ballet at long last, and generous numbers of Friday/weekend/Bank holiday dates for those of us who are not minted or the leisure class! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oncnp Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Each has two filming dates (and the Ashton general rehearsal had been marked as filming but isn't now, and the Ashton is two different casts) perhaps there may be streams as well. 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawnstar Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I wonder if there will be package booking for the spring booking period? If so then I'd consider buying a ticket I don't want for the modern triple bill if it would get me a better ticket for the Ashton one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping their performance would have been filmed as he was terrific with Hayward last time. Have I got it right they are filming 2 different casts? I don't understand this as I thought the idea of filming twice was to do a bit if a mix and match if something went wrong with a performance. Do we know which cast is being streamed? I would love to see Vadim in Month in the Country filmed but also Hayward and Sambe in Rhapsody. I can see my entire annual ballet budget going on this one production as its the train and hotel costs as well as the tickets as I've got to see Morera as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
