After looking at the program again, I must say I'm really looking forward to the season. I wasn't too excited with Sleeping Beauty and La fille mal gardée, since the latter was on stage last year. I thought I had seen Sleeping Beauty last year too, but It was the 2013/14 season. I'm just not a fan of the entire ballet, I like variations here and there but it's just not my favourite full-length ballet. But I read the reply of Ashton fan and it makes perfectly sense - it's the best ballet to demonstrate the talent throughout the ranks.
I didn't expect Anastasia at all but I'm pleasantly surprised finding it on the list - I have seen some older videos and can't wait to see it on the stage. The casting is however not a big surprise although I must say that Cuthbertson is an interesting choice in a row with Morera and Osipova.
I'm also looking forward to seeing the casting of jewels - anyone knows when the RB has danced it the last time?
Mayerling remains one of my favourite ballets so I'm very glad to see it on again. After the incredible performances of Mukhamedov and Watson I'm very much interested to see who of the younger dancers is going to follow their path as the leading performers of the darker and disturbed characters. Suggestions anyone?
