  1. I would like to highlight Anna Rose O'Sullivan's stunning performance of Princess Stephanie at last night's memorable performance. She wrung every last ounce out of the choreography and showed all the fear and excitement of her character. I was sitting near a young couple at their first ballet who were trying to work out the character relationships - I was able to help - they were stunned by the athleticism of the dancers and totally engaged by the whole performance (as was I).
  2. Thank you Bill - I was able to enjoy the performance after all - and what a performance it was!!! Just a warning to others leaving tickets at the new (possibly temporary) Box Office - the staff don't seem to be familiar with the usual practice of people leaving tickets for others to collect. I wasted ages waiting for it to appear and when it didn't, this lead to me being cross questioned about its origins. Although I prevaricated, there was inferred disapproval. Fortunately, after contacting the seller through the website, he telephoned me and spoke to the member of staff who reissued the ticket with ill-concealed bad humour. Speaking to the seller, I know it was left for me as I have bought from the him before with no problems - its a mystery where it ended up and why it wasn't brought to the Box Office 90 minutes before the performance as usual. This might be a problem for others intending to use the same method to leave resold tickets for collection. It would be a good idea to obtain contact details of the seller in case this happens again.

  4. Does anyone have a goodish amphi or similar ticket (not standing) for this performance? I would be grateful for any offers. Elisabeth
  5. During the last week, I have been receiving multiple copies (up to 10) of the same email offering tickets for resale. They are from different sellers. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I have reported this to the Administrators. Elisabeth

  14. I'm very pleased to see that Rudolf Nureyev is at last to be commemorated in London with a Blue Plaque but rather surprised that it isn't going to be sited on the house he owned at No 6 Fife Road, East Sheen, on the edge of Richmond Park, very close the Royal Ballet School. His occupation of the house is we'll documented in the biographies written about him as well as the many interesting personalities he entertained there.
  15. BBC Four will broadcast Frankenstein, Liam Scarlett’s first full-length ballet for The Royal Ballet, on Sunday 30 October 2016 at 8pm GMT.
  16. Darcey was coached by Fonteyn for Swan Lake at the beginning of her career. Monica Mason unveiled the plaque for Ninette de Valois. Perhaps, as in all things (rightly) at RB these days, they wanted to project a new image. Strange that both ceremonies took place on the same day.
  17. My friend and I also thought it was a beautiful service in a suitably dramatic setting. The choir sang a very moving version of John Rutter's 'For the Beauty of the Earth' but perhaps even more poignant were the ballet extracts wonderfully played on the piano by Henry Roach. It was also touching to hear from David's friends and fellow dancers personal reminiscences, not only at the height of his dancing and coaching career but also from the priest who only knew him during the last 9 weeks of his life. His wife, children and grandchildren must have drawn great comfort from not only the service but the huge numbers of fellow dancers, actors and admirers who attended.
