  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. I shall probably be returning this ticket to the box office by the end of today.
  4. 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.
  5. Hopefully I'll have extricated myself by the time I actually see Swan Lake, which isn't until next month.
  6. Strangely, there are some on this forum who I don't think would agree with you
  7. I totally agree about Yu. Unfortunately, her show clashes with the cinema relay of the RB swan lake.
  8. 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.
  9. For anyone interested in Inger's work, I've just noticed from the streaming calendar that his "take" on Swan Lake - which I think some have praised on here - appears to be due to drop off streaming in a day or two.
  10. Have you got the cast sheet, bridiem? I'm recalling Rojo, Kobborg, and possibly Cojocaru and/or Benjamin.
  11. I'm guessing Different Drummer and perhaps Requiem? Hamilton isn't cast in DD as far as I know.
  12. Isn't this the woman who two years ago danced in a gala (the Ukraine one?) shortly after doing Swan Lake?
  13. 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
  14. I realise I've managed to book myself two different tickets for the first night of Danses Concertantes / Different Drummer / Requiem, and so have amphitheatre H43 - restricted view unless you sit forward (which you can do) - going spare at £16. If anyone would like it, please send me a PM.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. Yes, I was planning that, too. But then I'll have to wait to book any other performances.
  18. I was just wondering the same. How'm I supposed to know what date to book to make sure I don't get the same cast twice?
  19. Thank you, SwanLA65 - and welcome to the forum!
