The ROH booking website - what can we do?
Thalia replied to Geoff's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
I had this same message pop up on two occasions when trying to purchase two tickets. Both times, it ended up that one of the tickets was actually no longer available (or was in someone else’s basket). I assumed that had prompted the strange message and I just put it down to a glitch/slightly odd set-up for that type of situation. -

Royal Ballet Onegin 2020
Thalia replied to Richard LH's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
It has been a while since I read Evgeny Onegin (back when I was at school) but if I recall correctly, Onegin does try to not kill Lensky. A lot of the nuance of Onegin’s character is lost in adaptation to ballet, which is inevitable I suppose, just like it is in translation. I find him a bit more sympathetic, although not exactly likeable, in the book than in the ballet (I don’t know the opera at all) – it needs a fine and sensitive actor to make the ballet character something more than two dimensional. I thought Bolle was superb on Wednesday and managed to create a fleshed out character, more reminiscent of Pushkin’s Onegin in essence for me than anyone else I have seen. I got (in no particular order) arrogance, boredom, haughtiness, condescension, resignation, cruelty, politeness, passion, flirtatiousness, pride, embarrassment, love, loneliness, anger, despondency, honour, desperation, regret and heartbreak from him. I thought Nuñez really upped her performance dancing with Bolle – they do seem to have great chemistry. Her emotional connection to Tatiana was far more evident for me on Wednesday than it was on Saturday.- 410 replies

ROH Auditorium Quirks

Could it be stray confetti left over from the finale of Coppélia? I noticed it last night. -
The email I had from the Coliseum says that there are two intervals. Is this not going to be the case?
