    That's true, Dave, but you can usually make out a slight movement as they go through!! Last night there was just blackness ..... and also times when the dancers disappeared into the dimness at the sides of the stage until re-emerging into the spotlight ....and it wasn't intentional! It didn't matter for me, but I'm sure that others less familiar with the ballet might have missed quite a lot!

    Just a question - did anyone else find the cinema stream very dark? I was in Cambridge and even though I knew what to look for the whole stage was so dark that for example the monks entering the tomb were completely invisible, so no chance of seeing Romeo at all. It was the same all through - Tybalt’s entrance down the steps in Act 2 was almost impossible to see if you didn’t know where to look. Even some of the market scenes were hard to see. I’d love a DVD but don’t know whether this would be a problem or whether it was just a transmission issue.

    Ah - thanks. I just remember that first performance, and it was very emotional. Didn’t realise it was so long ago!

    Wasn’t Yanowsky’s Manon with Kenneth Greve? I was there and I agree it was quite something!

    I agree - she was stunning as Juliet, and I was really hoping she'd get the chance to do Manon. Her performances are so thoughtful and nuanced - her Manon would have been something special! I'd love to see her as Tatiana - wonder if she'll get the chance ....?

    And me

    Maybe this is in the wrong thread, but thinking about Stix-Brunel's nuanced and thoughtful Juliet, I'd love to see her as Tatiana!

    It’s so interesting how we see things differently. I found the afternoon with Stix-Brunel and Hirano on a totally different level. It’s been a while since any performance of R and J moved me to tears, but this afternoon had me in floods. Her performance was so nuanced that she was totally believable and her emotions were raw. For me she was a complete Juliet. I agree about Ball’s Tybalt, which was outstanding, but otherwise this evening I was unmoved. Sorry!

    I only had one email when Michelle posted a ticket for sale this afternoon, so it seems to have settled down. Thank you! Jacky

    Yes, me too - I get 8 each time. I can't see how to stop it ... It's only been happening in the last few days Jacky

    It's great that we all see things so differently - I see far more Lenskys than Onegins! ! But the run will be something to look forward to. Can't wait!

    I was just about to return these tickets to the BO, then wondered if anyone here might be interested in them even though they're not ballet. It's Tosca on Monday May 27th at 7.30. Two Amphi tickets - not together but cheapish (for opera!). I'd like to think they're going to a good home! Amphi C80 Amphi E34 Each ticket £44. Officially restricted view, but actually rather good. I'd rather sell both tickets at the same time if possible. Let me know. I'll return them to the BO on Monday if no-one is interested. Many thanks Jacky

    Ticket is sold, thanks. Jacky

    I have Amphi E34 for £21 for the matinee performance (13.30) on June 1st - cast Naghdi and Ball. It's on the side, officially restricted view but actually pretty good. It's an e-ticket. Send me a pm if you'd like it. Thanks Jacky

    Hi - I have Amphi E34 for £21 if you're interested. It's on the side, officially restricted view but not very. It's an e-ticket. You might prefer to wait to see if you can get a SCS - I saw one yesterday at the last minute on the ROH site for Beatriz last night, so they do come up. Let me know. Thanks Jacky

    But it is an accident .... isn't that the point? (no pun intended!)
  23. J_New
    Who’s Tybalt on Monday, does anyone know?
  24. J_New
    Sim - I’ve tried to send you a pm, but can’t. I just get a note to say you can’t receive messages.
  25. J_New
    So with the Tybalt casting, if anyone does hear anything it’d be great to share!
