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.

It was Aiden O’Brien.

I have sent you a message.

Tickets now claimed.

Having double booked myself, I have 2 stalls circle standing tickets D13 and D14 for Swan Lake on Sat 19 Mar to offer. They are £11 each, good view and quick exit to the bar. The performance starts at 7pm. Please pm if interested.

The programmes can also be downloaded and saved. If you can read Danish this is well worth doing as they are excellent resources.

The Royal Ballet’s Tierney Heap will be doing a basic barre class on Instagram Monday to Friday at 10.30am.

I do hope so; that thought crossed my mind the other day. I thought their performance was wonderful.

I’ve just seen that Ballet Studio Live at the Royal Opera House next week is cancelled.

Ticket now spoken for.

I have SCS D48 spare for Saturday’s performance of Onegin. It is £9 and a paper ticket but I will be there to hand it over. Please pm if interested.

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.

Ticket now taken.

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?
