The "new" Royal Opera House, Covent Garden
SPD444 replied to Geoff's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
I too thought it odd that the printed cast sheet showed the correct Clara and Peter but not the website.Left hand and right hand perhaps. Back to this thread. Tonight we entered through the revolving doors on the piazza, no one there to check bags or tickets but walking through into the Bow Street entrance tickets had to be shown and bags checked, perhaps security have not copped on to the idea that a bomb carrier will simply go round the corner to the piazza. That canteen they have now created is the worst thing they have done. -

My question was why the ROH want me to cut back on the number of times I attend in favour of all these young people who cannot get a ticket. The fact that the answer addressed a different question was not a surprise. Like politicians they answer the question they want to be asked not the question asked.

Here is one, Bruce. " Thank you for your email. I have advised Lucy of your comments and she has asked me to respond on her behalf. Please be assured that we have no intention of deliberately reducing the number of Friends attending performances at the Royal Opera House and did not mean that. The piece written by Arts Professional intended to describe more generally the Royal Opera House's intention to broaden its audience in the long-term, and we deeply apologise if the wrong impression was given in the article to Friends about our pricing policy. Best regards, Graham Boland Visitor Experience"

Having just renewed my Friends+ membership and then reading this decision I have contacted the friends office and offered to help them out by requesting a refund and freeing up my blockage for all these new people. I hope Ms Roco and the ENB will take pity on a couple who want to give a little support to an art form they love.

The "new" Royal Opera House, Covent Garden

The new front page is, for me, change for the sake of change. Not an improvement as far as I can see. -
The "new" Royal Opera House, Covent Garden
SPD444 replied to Geoff's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Some, if not all, of the Linbury performances are included in the What's on link. No prices but the one's I have looked at appear to run for between 1 hour and 1-1/2 hours ( including interval ) Surprised about the interval, I am sure I can wait an hour before requiring refreshment. It seems "Friends" etc. will be receiving an email concerning booking dates. Very last minute. -
Have to agree with you Serenade, Leaves are Falling/ Valse Trieste we’re excellent showing great dancing and partnering with Natalia and Hallberg. “Six years later” was embarrassing to watch Natalia playing shoulder bumps for about 10 minutes ( or so it seemed ) total waste and then both dancers trembling in some sort of orgasmic passion was laughable. “Flutter” was ruined by the music, if that’s what it was, Mr. Muhly must have seen the McGregor at the RB ( Multiverse and please god I never have to sit through that again). One lovely incident at the curtain calls, Natalia must have thought they were over as when the lights came on again there she was sitting on the stage. The boys started laughing which she joined in with. well done Natalia.

Autumn 2018/19 RB Booking Experience ..
SPD444 replied to Bruce Wall's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Yes, you could. Similar to the auditorium. The site is in a pickle just now. Look at “Two Pigeons” using the What’s On link and It shows the performances with Asphodel Meadows but there is no mention of it being danced with the RBS performance, you have to go to the Winter Season to find it and where is the casting? That’s somewhere else, complete mess. To find casting select winter 2018/19 - then calendar of events and you get both opera and ballet with casting. -

Autumn 2018/19 RB Booking Experience ..
SPD444 replied to Bruce Wall's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
I believe they have to keep a percentage available to the general public of every performance to maintain their lottery funding. -

SPD444 replied to Bruce Wall's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
For anyone interested in the Insight on "The Unknown Soldier" on the 27th September the web site is strange. It is currently showing 6 tickets available but on clicking "Buy" it shows "Sold Out" however if you click on the "best available" option it will allocate you with tickets. Another oddity. -
