Ballet Icons Gala March 2024
alison replied to Tango Dancer's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
I must say, the sort of audience behaviour referred to here is certainly very reminiscent of what I remember from the balcony last time I attended one of these Icons galas.- 66 replies

Royal Ballet - Swan Lake 2024
alison replied to Linnzi5's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
I do sympathise about the programmes, JNC - I've been disappointed a few times when I've bought one X years after the first one and found that little has changed, although I do find that they usually change most of the photos. I bought a sleeping beauty programme in the second half of the run last year and found the photos had been changed to reflect the dancers cast. But the broader context reminds me of a conversation I had recently with another ROH regular who I suspect has been attending rather longer than I have, and probably booking better seats, and we both decided that we're starting to feel distinctly unwelcome there at times. -

He's not the only one either, I think, although I stand in that area so infrequently these days that it's difficult to be sure. -

Hopefully I'll have extricated myself by the time I actually see Swan Lake, which isn't until next month. -

Check your TV guides for confirmation, but it appears that we have a Bayadere tomorrow and a Swan Lake on Sunday (or possibly the other way around). Both Sky Arts, both early morning.

Have you got the cast sheet, bridiem? I'm recalling Rojo, Kobborg, and possibly Cojocaru and/or Benjamin.

I'm guessing Different Drummer and perhaps Requiem? Hamilton isn't cast in DD as far as I know.- 503 replies

Isn't this the woman who two years ago danced in a gala (the Ukraine one?) shortly after doing Swan Lake? -
Royal Ballet - Swan Lake 2024
alison replied to Linnzi5's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
I can't get strikethrough to work on the original post, and hiding messed up the entire thread, so I've just added a comment -
I'd say the same. I've seen a few productions of Boheme, even the RO's previous one, and not liked it. I haven't seen the RO Butterfly, but saw ENO's many years ago and remember saying that I felt as though there was a pane of glass between me and the action on stage. Totally unmoved.

I seem to remember UniVerse getting very good reviews in the Linbury. If I'd realised it was that short, I might have booked the Friday, but I might well be pretty tired/down the pub after a conference.
