    I forgot to comment after last Friday's performance: performances varied, but generally I thought Different Drummer was much better focused the second time round - and I liked Osipova's Marie very much.

    I can beat you on that: £33 for the 1989 run (and £10 for the standbys - my first).

    I must admit, I didn't recall Leanne Benjamin having a reddish wig, although it's not that red compared with some of the harlots'.

    I'd say possibly the left: there's another staircase at the back which I'm not sure you could see from the right. Btw, thanks for the reminder: I'd completely forgotten!

    Perhaps we could get back to the main subject of this thread now?

    I somehow managed to miss out on this, but: "The clock is ticking! You have just 24 hours left to make double the difference in our Arts for Impact campaign. You have until 12pm (midday) on Tuesday 26th March to make your donation. We’re delighted to see that just under £2.5m has been raised so far - and there’s still time to have your donation doubled!" And yes, there are dance-related charities included - among other things.

    Just tried to tweak my pension online, almost bang on midnight: "This service is normally available from 1:30 AM UK time. We apologise for any inconvenience caused." Huh?! It's a UK company. The logic of having it available from 1.30 AM, but not at midnight, totally escapes me. Or does it think its customers are REAL night owls?

    It ... glows 😀

    I see - entirely by accident, because I'm pretty certain I haven't received the email - this is on in the cinema tomorrow. Worth going?

    Just wondering, has anyone tried getting through the cinema showings to anything but the cinema closest to you? I'm struggling.

    Well, I'm assuming that, as a general member of the public, either seats will be available to me or they'll be hidden unless you belong to a specified other category. So I can't see any particular point in my logging in - although in fact it turns out that I am logged in here, and still can't see any seats.

    Johan Inger will be talking about his production of Carmen for ENB later on today.

    Well, again, they weren't showing up on the performances I looked at, hence my choice of the word "allegedly", because I didn't want to get people's hopes up too much.

    I booked on Saturday. I wasn't even asked for my Membership number first, although that would obviously have come up when they took my personal details.

    There are currently (allegedly) a few cheap-ish tickets available for many of the May dates of the Spring run, in case anyone's interested.
  17. alison
    Oops, I'd totally forgotten that I'd already asked for this year!

    Just make sure it's not when you're standing - the Stalls Circle is cramped enough at times as it is! Talking about comps, something I'd heard recently rather suggested that they were generally a thing of the past, certainly for the sort of programmes which would be expected to sell out.

    I saw Parma in a matinee in Birmingham a few weeks ago: I don't know whether she danced it again, and/or whether it was indeed her debut, but she certainly impressed me.

    BTW, I appreciated the "not a frat party" comment Influencers do get a lot of stuff given them for free. Actually, I'd have thought that a 3-figure stalls ticket for Swan Lake would actually represent a good investment in terms of returns. Certainly more than actually paying someone to do some serious publicity. As for Different Drummer not being "fun", I'd say that to judge by the audience reaction it was particularly the younger audience members who appreciated it.

    The ROH, as ever, is caught between a rock and a hard place. It has to position itself as a glamorous and exclusive venue while at the same time being accessible. Not an easy thing to do. Unfortunately - and probably as a result of the current financial climate - it seems to be leaning too far towards exclusive at present.

    I'm pretty certain that a Russian touring ballet company I saw touring to the Fairfield Halls had a half-black, half-white tutu for Odile.

    Aren't claquettes tap shoes, or am I imagining it?

    Just wondering whether anyone had seen this and could report back? Featuring a cut-down version of MacMillan's Isadora, Martha Graham's Errand into the Maze and others.

    Drat. I'd forgotten all about it
