Thanks

I’m looking for one SCS ticket for Oct 19th evening.

Does anyone have a spare?

Thanks

Jacky

I agree absolutely - definitely avoid the stalls!! Sitting separately might be the answer. Agreed that the Mikhailovsky is a lovely old theatre and has great cakes, but it has the same problems with the lack of rake in the stalls and the poor view in the second row. Good luck!

I agree - the rake is not good in the old Mariinsky - it’s worth paying more for the front row. The view is great anywhere in Mariinsky 2 though.

Thanks, JNC - that’s a really detailed answer. What you’ve said backs up my own thoughts - I guess it was just that as my friend is a ‘first-timer’ and doesn’t want to spend much I thought I’d just ask here. I got a great deal on Manon at the ENB when they were at the Coliseum. Thanks again, Jacky

As Manon doesn't seem to be selling very well, do people think that there might be offers nearer the time? I'm trying to decide whether to buy seats for a friend now, or wait and see what comes up!

Jacky

So sorry to hear this - he was a lovely man, and will be missed. Condolences to his family.

I'll return these to the BO this afternoon if no-one wants them. All the performances are sold out, so I'm sure they'll re-sell them!

Thanks

Jacky

I have 2 tickets for the Matthew Bourne R + J matinee (2.30) on Sat Aug 10th. They're £8 each - Second Circle O6 and 7.

The only thing is that they are senior reductions (over 65) , and the tickets have to be collected from the BO with proof of age (!).  Sadlers Wells are rather particular about these reductions!

If anyone would like them, send me a pm and I'll contact the BO with your details for you to collect the tickets on the day.

Thanks

Jacky

and I am looking forward to Manon - sorry!

I have enjoyed his performances and wish him all the very best for the future. I am sorry he is leaving.

Mine was less than half full but the other local cinema looked to be nearly sold out. Despite the fairly small audience I still found it annoying. I don't go to the cinema much (the last time I saw a film as opposed to a livestream at a cinema was in 2002) & when I do go I find the incessant eating drives me mad. Not only the rustling but the smells. Before it started there were a couple eating fast food, during the first act there was a pervasive sickly-sweet smell who origin I couldn't identify, & after each interval there was the smell of popcorn. I spent a large part of the evening feeling rather sick & thanking God that people don't eat during performances at the ROH.

 

Reading all the comments, I seem to be in a very small minority in not being blown away by last night's performance. I'm now feeling guilty that I evidently missed or didn't get something that almost everyone else got.

It must have been the cinema experience putting you off! The other cinema was full with a very well-behaved appreciative audience, although they did bring the odd glass of wine in with them. No food though!

I'd also add that none of the characters were visible when entering/leaving either the Capulet ballroom or Juliet's bedroom by the rear entrance. Nor was Lord Capulet visible on the stairs at the end of Act 2 until after Lady Capulet had finished gesturing towards him. I was in Cambridge too but possibly not the same cinema as i was at the Light - which is rather ironic really!

Very ironic! I was in the Arts Picturehouse.  I agree about the entrances and exits - characters just kind of materialised on stage out of the gloom, and so it didn't always make sense. Lord Capulet on the stairs at the end of Act 2 is a case in point as Lady Capulet was just gesturing into the blackness.
