    Thanks for editing! I can't seem to control the reply format when I've inserted a quote...

    Many thanks again, Ian Macmillan, both from me and from the friend who made this request. She bought this edition on Amazon, and is thrilled to have such a lovely picture of Zen!

    A belated post, but Thursday's performance still hovers powerfully in the mind. It is always sad when dancers are off due to injury, but it was a joy to see this unexpected casting. For me Galeazzi is definitive as Mary Vetsera. A stunning performance. In a tremendous debut, Gartside was the most moving Rudolf I can remember, giving a profound study of alienation and despair. They danced wonderfully together. Maguire, McNally and Kobayashi were all outstanding. A very special evening. As Tony Newcombe comments above, the long silence before final applause says it all.

    Thanks so much for your reply, Ian Macmillan, and for the research you've kindly done. My query arose as, like you, I found nothing in the obvious places online. The information about the Dancing Times feature is very useful. I'm not sure if I have a copy, but I will pass this information on. Thanks again for replying.

    I am not sure if I am placing this query in the right thread, as it is not a comment on performance. Does anyone know of an online link to an image of Zenaida Yanowsky as Empress Elisabeth? A friend who saw Friday's performance would like to be able to email this (if it exists) to a friend in Germany. Thanks if you can help.

    I read somewhere (can't remember where) that 'merde' comes from a time when horse-drawn carriages waited to take people home from the theatre. Lots of it indicated a big audience and therefore good ticket sales! However, I don't know if this is the correct explanation.

    Thank you, Ian Macmillan, for this useful information explaining the context. I'm relieved that I don't need to be too concerned about the 'Friends' function after all, although Alison's suggestion sounds like a good one. Thanks also to you and to thequays for your kind welcome.

    Thanks Alison, both for your welcome and for your helpful reply. I can see your friends when I click on your profile. Thanks also to John Mallinson and spannerandpony for replying. I was concerned that I might make a mistake because of not understanding the Friends function, but am now reassured that I can stop worrying!

    I registered recently and have been finding my way round the Forum. I'm not sure how the 'Friends' aspects work. What is the function of Friends' groups, and are Friends' updates just a rearrangement of selected postings, or something extra? Any advice would be appreciated.
