I’m more and more impressed by Téo every time I see him perform; such a beautiful dancer. As for Leo – I completely agree and have been keenly following his progress for a long while now.

RB New Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui (Medusa) RB mixed bill
Thalia replied to RuthE's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
Those sketches are probably first stage, general idea/concept, not the actual finished designs. Within the Golden Hour is one of my favourite ballets but I’ve never liked the costumes, so I look forward to seeing Conran’s creations on Wednesday. -
I loved watching Teo Dubreuil as Benvolio. I thought his performance very impressive; wonderfully centred and clean with a good dose of personality and great acting skills. I’d be thrilled to see him as Romeo one day.

At a recent performance of Romeo and Juliet I was standing next to someone with the loudest and most irritating watch I’ve ever heard. It didn’t help that they kept resting their head in their hands so the watch was basically tick-tocking in my ear the whole time. I have the hearing of a bat, though, so I put it down to that. On the other side of me was a girl who kept fiddling with her phone throughout. I don’t know if she was surreptitiously trying to take photos or film as she had it well hidden until all of a sudden it flashed! Then she got it out to check messages. I let it go the first time but the second time she got it out I reached for the phone and would have happily “confiscated” it if my reaction hadn’t made her quickly put it away. Other audible audience disruption doesn’t worry me so much but then I find it fairly easy to ignore; I know others don’t. There was a small child chattering away during another recent performance. I’d zoned the sound out until another audience member sitting many seats away from the child decided to shush them very loudly at a critical point in the ballet. I’m sure most of the auditorium heard it. It was that abrupt and loud reaction, rather than the ongoing sound of the child, that brought me right out of my reverie and completely ruined the moment. Do other audience members get annoyed by other audience members getting annoyed at other audience members? Or is it just me? 😤🤫😆

Nutcracker. 😂 Unless it’s ‘rested’ for 2019/20, like it was a few years ago. -
Royal Ballet - Don Quixote - Spring 2019
Thalia replied to penelopesimpson's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
There were a number of cast changes. Jonathan Howells was Sancho Panza, Bennet Gartside was Lorenzo and Thomas Whitehead was Gamache. Romany Pajdak stood in for Itziar Mendizabal as one of the gypsy couple and Nicol Edmonds stood in for Reece Clarke in the fandango. -

Cor, what a drama! We need to follow this case through to its verdict. I have to say that I’ve done similar in the past (picking up a coat, that is, not throwing a punch or three), although in this case it was definitely my seat (I had been sat in it before the interval) and I “assertively proffered” rather than slung the coat back to its owner as soon as I realised they were oblivious to my return. I had already suffered said coat encroaching further and further onto my lap during the performance because its owner had no sense of its size, my personal space nor the cloakroom facilities available, yet clearly didn’t want it touching the floor. Then again, I suppose it could have been some kind of precious, magical coat made out of mistletoe...

The "new" Royal Opera House, Covent Garden
Thalia replied to Geoff's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Just seen on Instagram (no mention on website) that the ROH has been shortlisted for a RIBA London award following the Open Up work. I’m not sure which other buildings are shortlisted but noticed that the South Bank Centre (presumably for the work done to QE Hall/Hayward Gallery and whathaveyou) is one. https://www.instagram.com/royaloperahouse/p/BvMoxZcBFXl/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=rq75b1pht6c -

Sounds like the whole run is going to end up sold as standby. Shame they don’t do a Friends standby – I might be tempted to go for a fiver/tenner.- 300 replies

Would that be considered a cut price student standby offer? Are those tickets usually £10? ”Dynamic pricing” 🤣- 300 replies

I’ve still got the new home page with the swirly ‘Open’ picture but, thankfully, when I go to What’s On it’s back to the old page where I can see more than one production at a glance. Happy days! -
