lady emily Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Any forum members at Alexander's conversation with LBC this evening? I found it very illuminating, he is such a good, interesting speaker with a deep ability to reflect. I thought it was interesting he said the roles he would have liked to dance were Prince Rudolf and the lead in Rhaspody. I had never thought of him in the second but now agree, it would have been an incredible performance! 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had never thought of him in the second but now agree, it would have been an incredible performance! Yes - it was very interesting! He's very reflective and analytical but also fun and good-humoured. And he has a rare combination of both self-belief and humility. (Yes - I'm a fan!). And yes - I would have loved to have seen him in those roles too. Thanks to him, the LBC and Gerald Dowler for a lovely interview. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 I thought he had done Rhapsody - I could have sworn I'd seen him in the costume. I was still trying to get home without any tube, and missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a real loss that they didn’t perform the whole ballet. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonty Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 (edited) Funnily enough, I was only thinking Campbell would have been marvellous in Rhapsody when I went to see it the other week. And with his dramatic skills he would have been a cracking Rudolf, I am sure. Edited June 21 by Fonty 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmhopton Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Loved the bit when he talked about Vadim and said he was told he had to share a room with him and initially he wasn't very keen as he didn't know him very well. He said they spent several weeks circling warily round each other then Vadim sent him an email about a stage performance which he might have taken offence at but he thought was hilariously funny and they've been friends ever since. He also said he thought he was slightly better at basketball! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had never thought of him in the second but now agree, it would have been an incredible performance! The challenging choreography for Benno in Liam Scarlett’s Swan Lake was created on Alexander. It’s no surprise that there is an overlap in the casting of that role with the lead (and supporting men) in Rhapsody.
