🩰 For Kadee!
Let's go!! I assign Kadee Yasmine Naghdi's Juliet Variation!
youtube
Yasmine's take on the character here is so fascinating to me. She exudes the usual youthful joy and innocence, but she also brings a little bit of shy nervousness to the character. There are moments where she looks to the performers in the background like she is seeking their reassurance, and it's so endearing! I think it's a very fitting addition to the character: Juliet doesn't quite know how charming she is. As she moves through the variation, you can see her gain confidence and authority.
That, along with the sweetness Naghdi dances with, read to me a lot like Kadee does! Who deserves to have a wonderful time at a ball more than Kadee? Absolutely nobody, that's who

I just saw a screening of the Royal Ballet’s A Winter’s Tale! I haven’t seen a ballet since I was about 10 and Winter’s Tale didn’t leave a strong impression when I saw it, but the second I heard about the two being mashed together I thought ‘ah. well that might work.’ And it did!!!
It made tons of smart adaptation choices in shifting the story to a new medium where emotions that seemed alien when I read them felt vivid and moving, and plot points that only got a ‘sorry what now?’ from me in the play seemed like the natural manifestation of the emotions and environment.
All the dancers were miraculous, but shoutout in particular to Yasmine Naghdi, whose dancing I found most mesmerising, Matthew Ball, who to my great chagrin made me feel real actual feelings about that asshole Leontes, Mayara Magri who played Paulina, a character whose existence I barely remembered from the play but became the one I was most fascinated by in this, and Liam Boswell, one of two lead ensemble dancers, who looked like he was having the time of his life.
Sorry I forgot to respond to this yesterday. This sounds so so good. I hope I get a chance to see a screening one day!!

hi!!!!! Can you rank the Royal ballet principals like you did several years ago?💖 I love William/Matthew/Vadim and Nela/Sarah🥰 I don’t really enjoy Natalia and I also didn’t like Lauren’s swan lake (the one with William), it’s a shame because I love Liam’s version of SL and I love William but her hands & arms were just not…🥹
Hello! I'm always willing to rank and share my opinions lol. This is my ranking from favorite to least favorite.
Women:
Akane Takada
Sarah Lamb
Marianela Nunez
Francesca Hayward
Fumi Kaneko
Natalia Osipova
Yasmine Naghdi
Lauren Cuthbertson
Mayara Magri
Anna Rose O'Sullivan
Men:
Alexander Campbell
Vadim Muntagirov
William Bracewell
Steven McRae
Marcelino Sambe
Matthew Ball
Ryoichi Hirano
Reece Clarke
Cesar Corrales
I think having 19 principals is a bit ridiculous, especially since a few of both women and men shouldn't be principals, but that's just my opinion...

If it isn't too much to ask I'd love to hear your favourite roles of the ROH principals. As many or as few as you like
Hello! First of all, happy new year, I hope you had a lovely start; and also thanks for the ask :D Let's see...
Lauren Cuthbertson: hands down Juliet; but another role where I really, really like her is The Young Girl in The Two Pigeons.
Francesca Hayward: she's my favorite Juliet, probably of all time, and she always seems to excel in anything Ashton. I've also heard amazing things about her Manon for years, but unfortunately, I've never had the privilege of seeing it.
Fumi Kaneko: from what I've seen in person when she was in Bologna, both her Odette/Odile were nothing short of superb.
Sarah Lamb: Manon by a long shot. I'd definitely call it her signature role.��She's also generally amazing in anything Macmillan.
Mayara Magri: hard for me to say because there isn't much footage of her in principal roles, out there. There are some clips of her Odile (old and very recent) but I just don't feel her interpretation. The roles I've liked her in the most so far are Mercedes in DQ and the Rose Fairy in Nutcracker.
Yasmine Naghdi: I think Sugar Plum Fairy and the Concerto Adagio.
Marianela Nuñez: she absolutely owns most roles, it's ridiculous, honestly. But the ones she's the absolute best in for me are Odette/Odile, Aurora and Kitri.
Natalia Osipova: I'd say Swanilda (ironic, because she said she hates this role), and Kitri.
Anna Rose O’Sullivan: she's honestly a great Juliet. The role comes so naturally to her, and I'm kind of obsessed with her acting in it.
Akane Takada: definitely Odette/Odile and Titania in The Dream.
Matthew Ball: Romeo, Romeo, Romeo...did I mention Romeo? He's also an extremely believable, solid, absolutely hate-inspiring Albrecht. Special mention to Apollo and the little I saw from him as Rudolph. Also...his Tybalt!!!
William Bracewell: another great Romeo. And I was very impressed with his Hamlet as well.
Alexander Campbell: I think he makes a wonderful Basilio.
Reece Clarke: whatever
Cesar Corrales: the latin lover he plays every time he's on stage, as every possible character, I guess?
Ryoichi Hirano: I absolutely love his Leonte.
Steven McRae: definitely Rudolph and Oberon.
Vadim Muntagirov: best Siegfried and De Grieux out there, for me
Marcelino Sambé: I really love both his Romeo and his Mercutio.
#thanks again for the ask#i swear i'm not being mean on purpose about clarke and corrales...there just isn't any artistry in what they do at the moment#not for me anyway...doesn't matter how hard i look for it
