Little bump in this thread because I just have to express how incredible the Nuñez/Bolle casting for Manon was. I saw Manon a few years ago and didn’t really take to it, but last Wednesday went out of love for Marianela Nuñez and curiosity about Roberto Bolle and the atmosphere was just electric. The ovations went on forever! I adored it so much that I bought a rush ticket for the following Monday (last night) and it was just as good, if not better. I hope we’re lucky enough to see Roberto Bolle back here soon, especially paired with Nuñez. I was there also last Wednesday. Manon is a great production and Nuñez and Bolle were, indeed, excellent. There are a couple of times in the ballet when I was wishing they would get on with the dancing, but when they did the waiting was worth it! |

Wednesday I had seats towards the back of the amphitheatre and still felt moved, yesterday was one of the pillar-obstructed seats in the stalls circle and it was just as devastating. What an excellent pairing! I’m not even the biggest Macmillan fan (barring Romeo and Juliet— the ROH are going to get a fair amount of my money next year for that, eek) but it really connected on both occasions. |

The Swan Lake rehearsal livestream that is currently ongoing is absolutely fascinating. Seeing this next week (opening night cast) and I can't wait!
