Cool to hear a bit more from the pianist, the work these guys do every day is just incredible

I love that you could hear how hard they were breathing at the end. So incredibly athletic and expressive at the same time.

A top pianist working with top artists brings top results !

It is such a privilege to watch these two people work. Such focus and controlled technique, a lifetime of hard, dedicated work being expressed so beautifully. ROH at it's very best. Thank you.

This is wonderful. I consider Kenneth MacMillan as one of the coolest choreographers who unfortunately is no longer among us to continue delighting with his wonderful talent. I love his works like Manon, Romeo and Juliet, but Mayerling is a work that never ceases to amaze me for his wonderful way of telling us a story so dark and dramatic at the same time wonderful. Musically it is extraordinary thanks to another talent like John Lanchbery who has managed to interpret as only he can do this magnificent work. I love The Royal Ballet. Pure talent. This is without doubt First level. Thank you for bringing such beauty and talent to the world.

What an utterly fantastic insight evening. Gold medal for Ryoichi for strength and stamina- stupendous. Loved Paul Stobart's insight. Melissa Hamilton for principal!! BRAVO!!!

The pianist is off the hook. Crazy good.

Great choreography and dancers, but great to see Alexandr Aghadzanov, "Sacha", still giving. I used to love doing his class, and he has such a supportive attitude to all dancers at all levels.

bravo to the pianist!

love the rehearsals, but i think they should have had more side content to fill in for the exhausted dancers giving them more time to catch their breath. I remember other rehearsals where they had a segment with the costume designer, that would have been great to "waste time" for the dancers recovery.

Sarah Lamb commended;" Dont try this at home"

I love when the choreographer pulled her hair and said to the male dancer you shouldn't pull her her and you didn't look freightened at all when she had the gun, lol.

Looking forward to the live performance here in Los Angeles which I will be attending.

What a brilliant pianist! I admire him!

Wow, the coaching is extraordinary.

Her feet!!! Her legs!!! Her moves!!!

She is absolutely gorgeous!!! Love Melissa Hamilton

Aww I was hoping Lamb and McRae were going to be in the video ?

I admire the pianist so much

Sergei Polunin and Anna Ol were very congruent and expressive in Mayerling.

beatiful !

rehearse video, hence I click.

Ottimi gli stralci di questo balletto che associa la corporeità alle pose figurali eccellenti ed inedite.Ottimo quello che con un mio neologismo mi piace chiamare convolo aereo ed elanista della ballerina ottimamente indotto e tenuto dal partner con un bilico di difficoltà massima ed eseguito con una non chalance esecutiva d'acchito sorprendente. Superlativi.Bighin Giulio Renzo. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

ピアノが本当にに素晴らしいです！ マイヤリングをこのリハーサル映像で知ったのですが、曲調、振り付け、踊りから内容が全く推察できませんでした。(どうして拳銃で撃とうとしたのに愛しあってるの！？など)調べてみてとても複雑な場面であることが分かりました。 メリッサハミルトンさん、平野亮一さんの踊りと、サララムさん、スティーブンマクレーさんの踊りを見ましたが、同じキャラクターと思えない程ダンサーの個性が違って、面白いです。

What is the song at 26:06

平野さんの色気がすごいです。

I need Melissa promoted to principal ASAP

Is this Sarah Lamb’s favorite role? She is wonderful.

平野さんお疲れさまでした

10:26 Alas poor Yorick

Hiiii

Maybe someday they looks to Sergei Polunin Mayerling with beautiful Ballerina from Stanislavsky Ballett Moskau Amazing! !!!

Speaking about rehearsal. Just a suggestion: the dancers of such extraordinary level don't need a coach as much as they need a video recording. What is going on during a rehearsal? Both dancers and a coach need to rely on coaches' memory. At the end he was tiered, he was exhausted, and he could not remember any suggestions for the female dancer. If it would be a video recording, then researching together with dancers, a coach could be much more helpful, pointing at particular places on the video, giving a suggestion.

Amazing dancers, but no connection with each other or the acting. They need to listen to the coaching. He's just doing steps. This is a madly passionate piece. Come on!

understudies? or hwat

Not a fan of Ryoichi, looking back Ive loved everything I saw from the royal ballet, performances or rehearsals, vids of any kind etc. All but a few things. After this rehearsal and really disliking his rapid mix of under/overexpressiveness I went back and checked what else I didnt like, a Romeo and Juliet rehearsal, a Frankenstein rehearsal, Leontes in the last livestream of the winters tale.. and its all him in narrative roles.. Now he cant be a bad dancer, I mean hes made principal, so I dug deeper and realized Ive seen him in other things, most recently corybantic games, and maybe not overtly liked him, but didnt mind him, didnt get distracted by him. I feel abstract works are his forte, where the pure physical aspect really shines. Maybe hell win me over one day, but if hes dancing the cinema stream, Im skipping it. also this entire rehearsal seemed a little below royal ballet standard in terms of... the entire thing? Like everything was a bit less than before, it really has been a long day for everyone I guess, hats off to all the hard working artists and creators! =)

He's just so expressionless.

Great replacement! 👎

just watched it tonight, and i cant ever see Mcrae and Lamb Dance with anyone else, this is so wrong, this pairing above , no chemistry. the male dancer is a plank

I don't like the Japanese dancer. His face is impassive, with not much expression coming through. The coach's remark to the Japanese dancer, "Be more involved," says it all. Where's Edward Watson or Alexander Campbell when you need them?
