I am a Friend of ROH, and haven't a ticket for tomorrow's rehearsal. Can anyone sell me one, please?

Good to see your message on screen last night, Janet McN ! The cinema ran out of ink whilst printing cast sheets, so no details for us, so it was useful to see listings on the forum. I thought that I saw Joe Sissens as a matador; was he there?!

Returning to box office.

When I decided to read the comments on the Forum about Darcey Bussell being made a Dame I commented to my husband that I was going to check if the Darcey bashing had started again. From a minority of Forum member it had, though some posters have begun retreating for their initial hyper-critical comments. Equally “a gush fest”, as one member puts it, is not necessary, just plain common decency in our comments and rejoicing that a former Principal of the Royal Ballet has been honoured thus. One aspect of the criticism included Darcey’s name. Changes of name for ballet dancers have happened often enough in the past. To give just three well-known examples - Alicia Markova’s birth was registered as Lilian Alicia Marks Anton Dolin was registered as Sidney Francis P C Kay, and not as Encylopaedia Britannica and Wikipedia would have us believe as Sydney Francis Patrick Chippendall Healey-Kay [his mother’s maiden name was Healey]. Margot Fonteyn’s birth was registered as Margaret Evelyn Hookham However, Darcey Bussell did not start to use her middle name to be noticed, as has been suggested. Her name at birth was registered as Darcey Andrea Crittle [https://www.freebmd.org.uk]. After her parents’ divorce, her mother remarried Mr Bussell; obviously I do not know whether or not he adopted Darcey but she took his name. Congratulations, Darcey, on your honour!
