Bluebird Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 "The new season, to be unveiled on Wednesday, will feature Harrison Birtwistle's The Minotaur at £65 and a cut-price Tosca" The above quote is lifted from an interview with Tony Hall in today's Independent: http://www.independe...nt-7561659.html No mention of ballet rep in the interview but we don't have long to wait!

Buddy Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I think that I know what you're getting at, John, but it's great to have these available, as it was before, especially five hours before the other side of the Atlantic has gotten out of bed. I believe that you were responsible for the old format and I thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Macmillan Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 John: I have to admit that I took advantage of yesterday afternoon's miserable weather to have a look in one or two corners that I have tended to overlook now on a regular basis - you will note my erstwhile nemesis reappearing at the end, albeit in a curtailed form, for example - and that drove the score up somewhat! But Saturdays seem to have been fairly busy lately, in any event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
