For sale: RB Sleeping Beauty 12 Dec 7.30pm SCS

I’m not sure what the ushers can do about the smart watches as they tend to light up inadvertently; I just wish the wearers would be more aware of it and perhaps wear long sleeves!

I agree that ringing them at 5 minutes would be preferable, however I would rather they had a the ringing via speakers/sounders like they do in some other theatres. I find the hand bells far too harsh. And yes, I ignore the bells being rung at 10 minutes along with nearly everyone else! I think especially with a ballet the length of Sleeping Beauty they should give us a chance to stretch our legs/sit down/take a sip before starting to herd us back in!

The person doing the calls yesterday spoke in a low, drawn out manner and it was quite hard to hear them clearly above the hubbub; their voice was rather quiet. Having both clear diction and an urgency to the tone would help to get people moving. I do wish they’d dispense with the awful clanging bells, though. When you’ve just sat down to enjoy your drink (they start ringing 10 mins into 20 min interval) and then it ”chimes” at ear level at goodness knows how many decibels as they walk past, it’s frankly painful. I was one of those who had their view disturbed by the couple taking their seats and it was highly irritating. They were back in good time for the second interval - pretty sure they had been given an earful by some of their Row A neighbours. I noticed lots of people being told to shut their phones off by ushers yesterday. Many more than usual. Also people’s Apple watches lighting up all over the place - one man was clearly checking his notifications (yes, I saw you!) but others just light up whenever people move their arms because they have them set on ‘raise to wake’.

Fun and Games with ROH Package Booking
Thalia replied to penelopesimpson's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
It’s per performance. I’ve definitely gone over 9 tickets for a production. 😬 -
I understand it’s three working days for an exchange but for returns it’s as @oncnp says.

This is awful for him, especially after being out for so long. Tonight should have been a triumphant return.- 673 replies

New ROH website - 2019 and 2022 versions
Thalia replied to yumiko's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
I noticed the casting for Onegin has gone a bit squiffy with the update... It is still all there but not displaying consistently - some are out of order. I am still not impressed with the new website and wonder why they’ve spent so long tinkering about with it for such reduced functionality. I cannot see how it serves as an asset for the ROH; if I was a casual visitor to the website I would be completely put off as it is so unwieldy to navigate. And does anyone know what the point is of the sliding visuals when you click on an event? -

Royal Ballet: Manon, autumn 2019
Thalia replied to alison's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
I certainly think there are dancers who speak to me as an individual better than others. Dancers who create a great emotional impression that others do not. Not sure I’d describe it as “in love” but I do know where you are coming from!- 673 replies

Insights being broadcast
Thalia replied to ninamargaret's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
It must be the rehearsal on Monday. The webpage for that insight has always said it is being filmed, although it doesn’t actually specify that the rehearsal is for the triple bill. -
Royal Opera House "Open Up" - a year on
Thalia replied to alison's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
I too haven’t been getting any emails about Manon. I hardly get any emails about ballet despite booking solely for that, but I get lots and lots about each and every opera (which I’m not interested in and am unlikely to book for). I can’t see any way of making my contact preferences more specific as there doesn’t seem to be a way of differentiating between dance and opera. 🤷♀️ -
Romeo & Juliet Filmed Production
Thalia replied to SPD444's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
At the bottom of the film ‘poster’ it says BBC Two, so they must have contributed to it somehow. It also suggest it will be shown on TV at some point.- 90 replies
