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

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...

Francesca Hayward and Alexander Campbell in Giselle, Royal Ballet, February 2018. © Dave Morgan.

In Act II, Hayward’s Giselle is a different being, an unearthly spirit claimed by supernatural forces. She is impelled to dance from the moment she is initiated as a wili, whirling and bounding across the forest glade. The droop of her head implies her sad awareness of being cursed to remain forever undead. As she embraces Albrecht, wafting the air around him, she seems to have infinite pity for his weakness, as though far wiser than he about human failings. It’s an exceptionally mature portrayal for a debut, as well as a technically assured one.

Characters: Nutcracker Prince / Drosselmeyer’s Apprentice and Clara Stahlbaum

Media: The Nutcracker ballet

Setting: 1800s, Germany / Land of Sweets

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Clara Stahlbaum is a young girl whose family gives a grand Christmas Eve party attended by her godfather Drosselmeyer, who gifts Clara with a nutcracker doll and leaves as mysteriously as he arrived.

The Nutcracker Prince, appearing as a wooden doll but secretly the prince of a magical land, comes to life that night, when Clara falls asleep in the empty hall and is attacked by an army of mice led by the Mouse King.

Clara is shocked to awaken and see her Nutcracker (who bears an amazing resemblance to Drosselmeyer’s handsome apprentice) fighting a battle in her own home... as well as the fact that she is now the size of a doll herself. Pursued by the wicked Mouse King, Clara joins the battle and helps the Nutcracker fight the Mouse King, leading to the mice’s defeat and Clara’s reunion with the Nutcracker. He then takes her on a magical journey to his own realm, through a forest of snowflakes and into the wondrous Land of Sweets to see his kingdom and become its princess.

I know this is controversial but this is probably my favorite partnership in the company, watching them feels so emotional and raw, almost intrusive. They know and trust each other so much. Their PDDs feel instinctual. I have enjoyed watching her with Sambe and Bracewell and him with Takada but for me they have never touched this partnership. It is a crime that they have no filmed performances together. Though I am sure I will always love to watch Frankie, I know I will always think about her Manons, Auroras, Giselles, and Coppelias I saw with Alex. Just another reason I feel devastated about Friday. The tears are going to flow fast and hard.
