FionaM Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I’ve approached the RB Ashton programme(s) as ONE mixed bill of the Dream and Rhapsody with different bits for the other third … either Les Rendezvous or the ‘short works’. 10 performances in total. It should sell … and particularly because those keen on Ashton will likely go to see one of each mix, if not more for different casts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 (edited) Yes art_enthusiast it is rather late but I was surprised by the preciseness of the timing Lol! I guess this is another three hour -er but hoping to be so engrossed in the dancing of this programme that the three hours will fly by! I also asked about the Sarasota timing and that’s two hours so 7.45-9.45 Edited May 30 by LinMM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blossom Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 3 hours ago, Aruna S said: Would anyone have an idea of how long the triple bill with Les Rendezvous, The Dream and Rhapsody could be, please? The website has been saying "running times available soon" for ages now and I wanted to book a restaurant for dinner after the performance. Many thanks! I've actually done a bit of digging to work this out. Rendezvous is around 20 mins I think, The Dream 45 mins but is a 1 hour film on the stream. Rhapsody is 33 mins on the stream. I would estimate up to 30 mins for intervals so am estimating a total run time of 2h45. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 So allowing 10 mins for curtain calls and to get down to the exit I should imagine it would be around 10.30 in the end. I’m going on the 10th June (slightly different programme) and on this occasion need to order a taxi as will have considerable luggage with me for various reasons which is why I asked the box office. The 10.24 ending struck me as funny. I might have to go back when the time comes to tell him it actually ended at 10.23 lol!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinMM Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I was asking about Wednesday the 5th so don’t know if that two hours refers to other performances as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silke H Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Not sure whether this is just the Sarasota Ashton thread or general Ashton programmes. Anyhow, I just noticed on Instagram that Liam Boswell will be Puck with Yasmine Naghdi and Calvin Richardson. And in the background of one of Calvin's IG pics Marco Masciari can be seen as Puck and Daichi Ikarashi rehearsing with Marcelino Sambé. Looks like we'll get treated to some exciting new Pucks 😃 10 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emeralds Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 On 30/05/2024 at 14:35, LinMM said: I asked yesterday in the box office at ROH and the performance is predicted to end at 10.24!!!! I too had a go, like Blossom, at trying to find out and add up the timings. From the stage manager reports on the ROH performance database archives, Les Rendezvous was 22-24 minutes depending on which cast/night, The Dream was 52-56 minutes depending on different casts, Rhapsody between 29-31 minutes. If I take the longest timings and add in two 30 minute intervals that'd be 171 minutes ie 2h 51 min. Shortest wouid be 163 min, ie 2h 43min. So 10.24pm isn't far off, @Aruna S, unless they (hopefully) choose shorter intervals eg 25min instead 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 The Dream has a very bulky set: I'm not sure how long it takes to change, even with all this modern machinery they have backstage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how bulky the Les Rendezvous set will be. I thought The Dream should go first- it usually does. Unless LR has even more bulky sets than The Dream.....

alison Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 I'm guessing they might be casting the pucks in height order according to the height of the Oberons. That would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawnstar Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Sambe is certainly the shortest Oberon so is Ikarashi the shortest Puck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
