  1. All the recent ROH ballets televised on the BBC such as Woolf Works, Frankenstein, Carmen and beyond are new productions. Whether this is because it is easier to convince BBC Arts editors that new is more arty or the ROH is keener to show off its newer works I don't know. However Floss is certainly right to raise the factor of live streaming. With The Nutcracker in particular, the annual live screening in cinemas will certainly be a factor in not having a television screening as well to potentially reduce the cinema audience.

    Old Money!!

    If you are with a major High Street bank they should still accept the coins if you pay into your account but probably not the note. However the Bank of England has to honour to promise that is printed on all their notes to 'pay the bearer' if you turn up at Threadneedle Street during opening hours.
  3. No, there is no narrator in Birmingham. David Mead's review comments on a lot of the changes made for the Royal Albert Hall production: http://www.seeingdance.com/brb-albert-hall-nutcracker-29122017/
  4. Thanks for this John Also, lower down on the same page the Hampson Rite of Spring is avaliable from today 7th December until 5th February 2018.

  10. In Telegraph report linked below it does mention a mixture of opera & ballet, but we have to wait till 2020. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/09/05/fancy-cheap-night-royal-opera-house-take-seat-floor/
  11. We do have a thread which contains the casting in the third post: http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/15684-press-release-english-national-ballet-announces-principal-casting-for-romeo-juliet-and-welcomes-jurgita-dronina-as-new-lead-principal/ However on the ENB website casting page you need to scroll down within the casting. Scrolling the whole page gets you nowhere as you found.
  12. Yes, the beads are silica gel and will do a good job if they have been kept dry before use.
  13. It is next Saturday 6th May, not June, that these are on.
  14. The Return fare from Holyhead to Liverpool is £40.30 and either buy in station or use a train company website that don't charge a booking fee, which is most of them.
  15. I enjoyed it, but I don't know enough on the subject to know whether it was accurate or not. I am sure you will not have to wait too long for it to be repeated on BBC4.
  16. Same with me, I am using Chrome browser.

The Romeo & Juliet is by Ratmansky, so new to the Bolshoi.
