So happy for Matthew. He is outstanding. Congratulations to the other dancers too. I'm also disappointed that Reece Clarke didn't get a promotion. Next year hopefully.

What beats leaving during curtain call? Leaving during the final act of course! Frustrating to have moving bodies leaving the theatre and blocking the stage at Coliseum tonight. I know Sleeping Beauty is a long ballet, but seriously??? 

 

Also frustrated by random calls of bravo/brava/bravi post solos. Am I being unduly irritated or is usage getting a bit excessive and show-offy when applause would more than do until the curtain call. Or is this something which is just now routine?

My last train home is at 10.16 & I have to get to Victoria, so there is no way I can stay until the end of the ballet! I usually book matinees for this reason but occasionally I may want to see a particular cast only dancing in the evening. It would be good if there was an earlier start once in a while. I know I am not alone with this problem.

oh wow - well, I must just be lucky in my local cinema. Why can't people manage NOT to eat/drink for a mere 2 hours?

Indeed! I am going to see the  play 'Frozen' this afternoon & I am already apprehensive about the audience.....

This film started at 3pm, Dave!

ENB Voices from America...last night...Sadlers Wells...second balcony...the chattiest and flakiest audience ever! My tolerance broke during the pause between The Cage and the New Forsythe. What seemed like total confusion. So many people getting up to go thinking the evening was over, staff trying to convince them to wait and return to seats, some insisting on going, people then quickly sitting down wherever they could or standing as final piece starts. And the three girls in front of me start talking again during the opening minutes. Three words from me - "Just shut up!" said in a roaring whisper of 40 years of pent up frustration. Of course I got the evil eye, and I didn't really enjoy the last piece but for heavens sake! #hadenough #howstupidcanpeoplebe #whydoibotherwhydoicare 

Not ballet, but, yesterday I went to the cinema. Couple arrive just as the film is starting clutching a huge box of popcorn. The film, a Quiet Place, has very little dialogue so I could hear the couple munching...then she turns on her phone & rummages in a plastic bag for a drink. She then starts opening a packet of something else & the munching continued. The woman got up twice & we were only half an hour into the film! I was losing the will to live when the fire alarm went off. Everyone piled out of the cinema & I could see that the couple were still eating...It was a false alarm , so everyone went back into the cinema except me. I just couldn't face sitting there listening to such selfish people. So, I never did find out what happened in the film!

There seem to be two 

threads for this now!! But have just seen this may have after all been an earlier post than the one from last Thursday(12th)

So will say here as well looking for Tuesday June 19th or Friday 15th matinee at 2 pm.

many thanks!

I am also looking for a ticket for June 15th matinee. Preferably inexpensive stalls circle seated.

That is really helpful! I only encountered the problem on the ROH site too! I am so happy I can browse the site again.

Thank you

Could it be a browser issue? The ROH website says:

 

'Our website is best viewed using the latest version of the following web browsers:

Most browsers will automatically update to the latest version that is compatible with your computer. If you use Windows XP, you will not be able to upgrade to the most recent version of Internet Explorer and we recommend using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox instead.'

 

They don't give a phone number for queries/problems, unfortunately - just an email form to fill in. But the number for Customer Services is 020 7304 4000 so perhaps they could help.

Thank you Bridiem.

Thank you so much Lizbie1. I turned off the data saver setting, as you suggested & it worked! Can't believe it was so easy. I actually went into Tesco to ask the chap in the phone department if he could help me but he couldn't....

I am a complete luddite, so can you tell me if I should leave the data saver turned off?

Thank you to all forum members for your help.

I wonder if anyone can help me with an ROH website problem? For a couple of weeks now everytime I try to log on to the website I get a message saying the page cannot load. It says if the problem persists to contact them.....well, I have tried believe me! I would like to telephone but I can only find a number for the box office. I am hoping that someone from the forum can help. Thank you in advance.

Brilliant photos Don Q.

Wish I had been there! 

Thanks very much, Ruth. I had forgotten about Friday rush. I will try that if I don't have any luck on the forum.

Having been unlucky ( again ) in getting a ticket for Swan Lake on 15/06/18 at 2pm, I am hoping that someone will bear me in mind if they have a ticket to sell! There are some seats available in the amphitheatre but I don't like heights. I am looking for an inexpensive ticket in the stalls circle, preferably seated.

Thank you

I was lucky enough to see The Ice King last week. It is well worth seeing. There is a lot of footage & is very moving. Recommended! 

I thought it was fabulous too! 

This ticket has been returned to the box office!

For sale Don Q on 5/08/17 at 2:00pm.

This is a restricted view seat in the stalls circle C99.

Face value is £20.00 but I would accept £10.00.

If interested, let me know asap as the ticket will have to be posted.
