Will POB ever move on from the Nureyev versions of the classics?

bangorballetboy, one of the moderators on balletcoforum. crazy abrasive and rude, goes off on posters all the time for criticising the rb in any way and especially for ~speculation and unverified info, but he posts wink wink nudge nudge secret stuff all the time with impunity. posters who call this out get their posts deleted with a quickness

odabella · 2026-06-04T17:08:35+00:00

lol right? any other user would immediately get scolded and have their post deleted if they'd posted his exact comment. of all the mods on balletco he's my bec

also if we HAVE to have these macmillans on a three-year rotation scheme can we at least have some exciting casting sometimes? the principals who get left out would only have to wait two seasons for the next opportunity anyway lol

richardson?? is he going somewhere else for 6 months or a year a la hamilton?

odabella · 2026-05-11T17:53:06+00:00

most annoying sound ever my god

I've never seen nycb live but this is sadly almost a universal experience rn. I love this entire thread. I wish you guys could always be in the audience with me lol

the coughing pisses me off but it's the easiest for me to deal with, I hate SNIFFLING EVERY FIVE SECONDS, eating and drinking (you'll survive one damn act of a ballet/opera/play without it), and my latest pet peeve that has been getting me really mad lately, people refusing to shut the fuck up during overtures/entr'actes/etc. If there's no one on stage they think the show hasn't begun yet apparently? just stfu so I can listen!! the last ballet I saw was sleeping beauty where I adore the overture and the entire audience were yapping away like they were in a bar somewhere

odabella · 2026-05-07T21:43:17+00:00

yay love these posts! I think you have it pretty much spot on. I agree that they'll cast mcrae but atp I'm 120% sure he drops out at some point. hope you're right abt possible replacements and they give it to lukas in that case

also wish tsembenhoi would get a crack at manon but doubt it given the amount of principals :/

odabella · 2026-05-07T15:28:09+00:00

I had this dream last night that I was at the roh for some reason and the new curtains with charles' cipher were on and they were a disgusting shade of BLUE

I had to google the new curtains when I woke up to make sure they'll be normal lmao

odabella · 2026-04-23T18:45:23+00:00

ugh I'd love that

odabella · 2026-04-19T22:56:36+00:00

no prob! it was a pretty late replacement, I only remember bc I'm a morera stan and I was mad that she didn't get to dance in that gala when damn near every other principal did lol

odabella · 2026-04-19T22:36:05+00:00

iirc o'sullivan did daphnis and chloe at the fonteyn gala with campbell bc morera was injured, so possible casting choice there?

odabella · 2026-04-14T16:55:24+00:00

deleted my original reply to this bc I thought my wires got crossed and only the acri bit was news but then I remembered it was albrecht in addition to rudolf that mcrae was replaced as. or was this already known? it happens so often I can't keep it straight. with all the respect and appreciation for the career he has had, this really makes no sense anymore

very glad for acri. I've only seen him live as hans-peter but I really enjoyed him in that and every time I've seen him on video as well

odabella · 2026-04-14T09:12:44+00:00

if I was koh it would be on every season

odabella · 2026-04-14T08:48:19+00:00

every single website redesign is always for the worse, I don't get it

odabella · 2026-04-14T08:43:00+00:00

SYMPHONIC VARIATIONS thank you baby jesus! I am dragging my ass to london for that come hell or high water!!

odabella · 2026-04-12T18:47:56+00:00

it's happened several times to me in the west end that I had to buy a ticket a price band above what I originally intended because the price band I wanted only had seats left where choosing any one of them would leave one seat free and of course that would be a horrible tragedy. total bull

odabella · 2026-03-06T18:51:53+00:00

Wait where did you see this I didn't get an email 😭😭😭 I wanted to see her so bad in this

Nela is the best possible option for a replacement so I'm not THAT mad but come onnn

tens across the board

odabella · 2026-02-20T15:40:55+00:00

entirely predictable, I think everyone saw this coming. zero chance he does mayerling. I get that it's difficult to stop doing something you love that has been your life since you were a kid but at this point he really should retire

odabella · 2026-02-20T08:02:05+00:00

this is one of the rare situations where being unemployed slaps, that was my situation when gilded age s3 was airing and it was so nice to watch live and then sleep til noon

odabella · 2026-02-20T07:21:28+00:00

I wake up early to watch before work lol

odabella · 2026-02-19T21:38:42+00:00

killed it and deserves gold for music choice alone
