Royal Ballet Promotions/Joiners/Leavers Announced for 24-25 Season!!

The Royal Ballet announced company changes for the next season. I'll link the article below! Here are some of my thoughts:

Generally, very pleased with this season's promotions.

For principal promotions (setting aside the fact that the Royal has way too many principals already) Sissens is so talented and deserving of the spot.

Really pleased that Buvoli was promoted to First Soloist, after already having Sugar Plum, Fairy Godmother, Myrtha, and Empress Elisabeth (in Mayerling) she'd definitely deserving of this position. I think she's really had a spectacular couple of years and it's great that she's finally getting attention. I feel similarly about Dias and Sasaki, though I'm not as well-versed in their current rep.

For soloists, if Ikarashi hadn't been promoted to soloist I would have been shocked. Ever since his performance and win at the Erik Bruhn Competition, I've really been following him, he's so so talented and elegant on stage.

Now for the First Artists. I think Tsembenhoi and Pantuso are no brainers. They both debuted Clara this year and Pantuso also debuted Perdita. I'm super happy for both of them. I think they both bring something unique and valuable to the Royal Ballet. I'm also happy about Gallucci's promotion. And finally, I am SOOO thrilled that S. Sasaki was finally promoted to First Artist. I honestly think she should have been promoted a year or two ago, she's just such a refined and elegant dancer.

As for leavers, I was so so sad to hear that Gina Storm-Jensen is leaving for Norwegian National Ballet. I really loved her and was hoping she'd one day be a first soloist. Also, so disappointed about Stanisław Węgrzyn leaving. However, they have severely undervalued him and I'm glad he's finally getting the soloist contract he deserves at Semperoper Dresden.

For the joiners, I am super thrilled that the Prix De Lausanne Prize Winner Airi Kobayashi is joining for next season. Her Raymonda variation at the Prix was so stunning!

White Swan Adagio

My favorite thing about the white swan adagio is that it, if danced properly, tells an entire story on its own without needing the rest of the ballet.  And yes, I’m going to make a post with gifs of each part because I have no life because that is what I do.

Odette is danced by Svetlana Gileva and Siegfried by Vadim Muntagirov.

It starts with a woman who wants to hide and is scared to even look at this man.

He manages to get her up and she starts to think that maybe she could let him in but then second guesses and starts to move away, but he takes hold of her hand and doesn’t let her flee.

Odette then reminds herself and Siegfried that she is a Swan who is on her own and is so used to it being that way that she can’t imagine not flying away.

She does one final run and Siegfried is there to stop her in a huge gesture to convince her to stay one last time.

Odette finally surrenders to her love for Siegfried and goes to him.

She fully surrenders to him and her feelings in a full embrace for the first time.

The adagio ends with Odette and Siegfried embracing in front of Odette’s flock of Swans, signaling the hope and approval they have for this love.
