Aside from attending all the Royal Ballet cinema relays, my next time attending ballet live will probably be in December, when I'm going to see Frederick Ashtons "La fille mal gardee" at the Vienna State Opera. I'll be able to see two nights, 13/12/22 and 14/12/22 😀 Casting hasn't been announced yet and regular booking only opens on 1/10/22 for the whole month of December, so I still have plenty of time to think about this, but I already wanted to ask if anyone here has been there before and can recommend certain seats? Since I'm going twice, I wouldn't exactly be keen on the highest price ranges (everything above 100€) but I would be willing to pay quite a lot since I go so rarely, so maybe the price range from 80-100€ would be fine. I'm attaching two links: The first one is just the event itself, the second one is the seating plan with prices. Even if you haven't been to Vienna but have a lot of experience with seating for ballet in general, I think you could give me some helpful seat recommendations based on the seating plan. I'm such a newbie to live ballet that I often don't really know where to start when it comes to booking....

I may be going for a long weekend to Vienna, in November, and if so will try to book tickets for a triple bill on November 6th. https://www.wiener-staatsoper.at/en/season-tickets/detail/event/967926754-macmillan-mcgregor-ashton/ Does anyone have any tips on seats, best way to book? And any restaurant recommendations would also be welcome! Thank you Graham
