Weird message from Mayflower Theatre, Southampton
Sim replied to alison's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
Sounds a bit suspicious to me! -
Royal Ballet - Swan Lake 2024
Sim replied to Linnzi5's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Oh joy. Oh pure, unadulterated, beautiful joy. I refer to tonight’s Swan Lake. -
@JNC Laura was a wonderful Titania and I will be thinking of her in June.

So much to be happy about with the casting: Hayward/Sambe should sizzle in The Dream. Naghdi/Richardson will be beautifully romantic in The Dream. Osipova/Bracewell...somewhere between the two! I am thrilled to see that Romany Pajdak is returning, albeit for one performance only. I do hope that this is a warm-up for gracing the stage once again next season, not a farewell.

Ditto! See you there. -
As an 'older' person I totally disagree with this statement. Unaffordable housing? Have you ever asked an older person how easy it is for them to get a mortgage or rent a house/flat if they are over 60? Bizarre job market? Have you ever asked a person over 50 how easy it is for them to get a job when the 30 year-olds interviewing them think that anyone over 45 is a dribbling idiot? Post Covid recession? Have you ever asked an older person on a pension how easy it is to live during a recession? When they have no chance of finding work? There are many older people who would love to come to the ballet but have to choose between eating for a week or a night out. As far as I'm aware, there is no equivalent 'ROH young peoples' performances' for older people. Nor do they get any ticket concessions. So please don't think that it's only young people who suffer; everyone does if they are unlucky enough to be in such situations. Age has nothing to do with it.

I think that the PR people and others at the ROH have shown time and time again that retaining regulars is at the bottom of their 'to do' list, if it's there at all. We don't seem to count for much.

Can someone please explain to me what an 'influencer' actually is? I keep hearing about them but where do they come from and what do they do? Are they paid by companies to wear their clothes/perfume/shoes etc. and then tell their followers how fabulous such products are? Is it just advertising dressed up as another word?

Any comments on last night’s opening, please? I am skipping this so am interested to hear what attendees think of it and whether I am making a mistake…🤔

I have been reliably informed that Cinderella has now been added to the ROH stream.

I would guess in the affirmative…

Ballet Icons Gala March 2024
Sim replied to Tango Dancer's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Exactly my point. Everyone should be able to express their opinion without fear of ridicule or nastiness. Everyone has different opinions, and that's how it should be. Whether you agree with someone or not, they are entitled to their own opinions and perceptions. Debating them in a respectful way is the best way to go.- 138 replies
