    Just as well we can’t comment on rehearsals 🫤

    The Senior Stage Manager’s announcement about not taking curtain call photos was far from clear. Ushers made requests to sections of the audience but were not very clear either. However, from my seat in the Stalls Circle, I didn’t see a single phone or camera out and my view was of hundreds of people.

    I think that it’s OK to reveal that the audience seemed very appreciative.

     

     

     

    I was standing in the stalls circle and saw lots of phones out taking photos of the curtain calls especially in the rear section of the centre block of the stalls which was directly in my view.

    We’ve sent all the kids back to school with no extra money for cleaning or soap and no social distancing. Now 1 in 50 of the pupils in secondary schools have covid. So we can’t really blame our problems just on people not following the rules!

    As someone whose partner is a school caretaker that is certainly not true where he works. They have installed washing stations outside buildings, dispensers everywhere and social distancing is adhered to in school.

     

    On the way to and going home from school is a completely different matter for so many of the students though where the idea of social distancing completely disappears 😉

    Paragraph 5 - interview with Nunez she states she danced Tatiana for the first time in 2015.

     

    Nunez did dance it in 2013. Reading the article I think it is the interviewer that got it wrong (or the person typing up the interview) as the question has the date - not the answer ;)

  4. If I click on the links on the old calendar page I do go to the details for that performance.

     

    However if you want to check out another date from the calendar it takes you back to

     

    https://www.roh.org.uk/tickets-and-events  - that lovely page.

     

    I have just tried out the filters (Ballet and Dance + Main Stage) from that lovely page -  and I would really like to know why there is a 'Coming soon' button on two productions.  Other productions just have a larger  'More info' button.

     

    A really mess.

    Did we see The Two Pigeons or The Three Pigeons yesterday? I was wondering whether a reserve pigeon had it's chance to shine. Surely they must keep some 2nd casts side of stage (in the wings!). Or, Matthew Ball-like, did a pigeon get a very unexpected phone call from Kevin? Or we were just very lucky that the wayward one was coaxed out of pit in time? 

    I believe it was just two pigeons but there are understudies  😁
