James Hay

Really living my full Jacobean fantasy here as Gamache! He feels so expensive/fabulous that you have no choice but to look and take him all in 🤣 absolutely in love with this character ♥️ #rohdonq #theroyalballet #jacobean

Happy Birthday to me 🎈 so lucky to be spending my 34th with family in the beautiful down under. #summerbaby #dancersofinstagram

@Playingfootsie @RoyalOperaHouse Ah thank you! 🙏🏻 not quite Maidenhead but absolutely a Berkshire Boy 👍🏻

@JamesAHay @RoyalOperaHouse And congratulations to you. Always enjoy your roles and performances, Maidenhead? Boy …….

And another season @RoyalOperaHouse comes to an end for me. It’s been a diverse one having played a Cab Driver, a Nutcracker, a Bluebird, a Sister and a Prince amongst other things. Amazing how quickly 15 yrs has gone by but exciting to see what the future has in store.

So much ♥️ for this little sister! It’s been so wonderful creating this character and having the chance to play someone so different and ridiculous but there is a heart there with her own hopes and dreams. Looking forward to her last outing this weekend ♥️ 📸 by Andrej Uspenski

An absolute joy to debut as a Step Sister in #rohcinderella alongside the gorgeous and hilarious Bennet Gartside I’ve had so much fun developing this character, finding out all her quirks and living through her dreams of success. Can’t wait to dive back into this wonderful story!

@TeresaGuerreir2 @RoyalOperaHouse @thicktightdance I’ll be having words with my editor 🙄

@JamesAHay @RoyalOperaHouse @thicktightdance Great. But it's premiere, not premier.

Taking part in todays Family Sunday event @royaloperahouse with the premier of ‘A Letter to Tchaikovsky’ choreographed by @thicktightdance It has been an absolute pleasure working on this poignant heartfelt piece with Eleanore and Danny, truly a gift to dance it. ♥️

Happy New Year! Looking forward to what wonders 2023 will bring 🥳🍾 📸 by Andrej Uspenski

IT’S CHRISTMAS!!! Last performance of The Nutcracker for me for this run…just in time for a festive break! 🎄🥳 such a joy to dance with Isabella Gasparini my stunning Clara, you gave me all the feels! Time to put my feet up and indulge 😌 #rohnutcracker

Getting into the festive mood in last nights opening of #rohnutcracker as The Nephew/Nutcracker alongside the gorgeous Isabella Gasparini as Clara ✨ I first performed in this ballet 22 years ago aged 11 and it still gets me feeling the magic every time ✨ 📸 by Asya Verzhbinsky

Loved my last adventure (of this run) into the world of Mayerling last night. Bratfisch is one of my favourite roles so a little sad to hang up my top hat for now 🎩 until next time! #ROHMayerling

@Alice_0017 Amazing 😍🙌🏻🙌🏻

For Four by Christopher Wheeldon, part of the #rohdiamondcelebration 💎 So grateful to have the opportunity to dance this most intricate and challenging of pieces. 📸 by the wonderful Andrej Uspenski
