I have SCS D38 for sale for Oct 25th at 7.30 - cast Bonelli/Morera. £9 It's an e-ticket so I can email it. Let me know if anyone wants it. Thanks Jacky

Seconded, James - they were stunning! Their performance stayed with me for days.

Tatiana gets my vote - I'd love to do the mirror scene - in my dreams!!!

'I'd be gutted if they dropped Onegin and I think you could argue a MacMillan/ Cranko link there to retain it' (Jenny) I'd be gutted too, and the RB do it so well! I'd be happy to drop most of McGregor, too.

Oh no - I hadn't heard that - thanks for the info, Bruce. Oh well - it'll have to be Berlin, Stuttgart, Amsterdam then if this turns out to be the case. But it was always such a pleasure to see it in London - i still remember the electric evening when Reilly guested with Alina - and of course, later on the Naghdi/ Ball stunning Olga/Lensky pairing.

But what about Onegin ........????? And yes, several triples I'd be able to save money on ...

Site is working again now

I've sent them a tweet ...

Yes - I am having the same problem, and I'm using Safari

There's no indication of casting yet, is there?

Sorry Sim - we crossed! And sorry that you were replying to Dave, not me .... No, I got my dates wrong - I didn't see her debut - it was her second performance that moved me so much.

I saw her for the first time on Monday 18th. I know that we all respond emotionally to different things, but I just found that Monday performance very emotional. It was her complete trust in him and the sheer beauty of her dancing that got to me. I didn't feel it in the same way last Monday night with Bonelli, lovely though it was!

I loved both her performances, the second one with Kish and then Monday evening with Bonelli. I don't know whether it was my familiarity with the production or her obvious trust in Kish, but I found that performance absolutely electric - even more so than Monday. I was nearer then (SCS), and saw the performance with Bonelli from above, which may have made a difference - but it is interesting how things affect us all differently.

It's always nice to have something to look forward to ........ 😀

Yes - I agree - I interpreted the flapping of the arms as just remembering the swans rather than changing into a bird - but I'm not sure that Bennet did it in the same way - I've only seen him once but just seem to remember him rushing off in a 'panic'. I'm seeing it again tomorrow so will try to take note of what happens.

I kind of assumed that he realised that Siegfried was on his way to shoot 'his' swans and that he needed to be there ...

I was there too, and totally agree with Dave - it was a very special performance.

I've sent you message, Kate. Thanks Jacky

Sorry - I certainly didn't mean to worry anyone!

That's really good to know. My friend will be in A39 - and she's around the same height as you, Jenny. Thanks to Don Q Fan, too. Jenny, it was very nice to meet you the other night at the premiere. Jacky

That's great advice, thank you. I just got worried when I saw what the restriction was on the e-ticket! I'll get a cushion for her and tell her that she can lean forward slightly if the person behind is OK with that. (My ticket is on the side in Row G, and is more expensive!) Many thanks! Jacky

Sorry - I may be posting this in the wrong place, but I just want to know what it's like sitting in the front row of the Amphi - I've just snapped a SL ticket up for a friend, (fairly central) but am now not sure whether she'll see over the tier as she's short. Any advice, please? Thanks Jacky

Yes, it was - and it was great!
