    I understand the emphasis on full-lengths at the moment, but I think this is going too far. And it's the nature of the one-act works that disturbs me as much as the number. Does Joseph Toonga really merit a main stage work ahead of MacMillan, Ashton, Bintley etc (or indeed at all)? I could go on, but it's too depressing.

     

    I was hoping that Zucchetti would be doing more for the main stage ...

    I'd liked to have seen more triple bills - to show off the heritage of the 60 years (and there is PLENTY to chose from), but I guess management a bit scared off by how slowly the current triples have sold. The 'new' triple didn't seem to sell that well, and even now, tickets fairly easy to get for the Ashton triple later this month (perhaps tickets were seen as too expensive for a 'lowly' triple, but when the funds are low, you can't blame them for trying to maximise revenue). So if people aren't beating down the door when they have a triple bill to go to, management aren't going to stress themselves putting together fresh ones. Especially when they can sell oddles of tickets at top prices for the old war-horses. Which is a shame as far as I'm concerned

    I agree with you, Dave - but as you said earlier, at least it will be a cheap season .... I won't be there nearly as much as usual.

    I have avoided the 'new' triple because modern doesn't usually do it for me. Not sure why the Ashton triple hasn't sold though ... I'm looking forward to that.
