    That sort of thing happens a lot. I not infrequently complain to owners of mailing lists about not receiving mailings - a couple of cinema chains are my next targets. The last time I raised the issue, someone said I'd unsubscribed myself, which I certainly hadn't.

    Seriously, what is WRONG with people today?! If I'm lucky, it may only take me 6 hours or so to get home from Birmingham. If we don't get any more idiots on the journey, that is EDIT: Yep, I was right, almost to the minute

    I think the "child" comment was because MacMillan was inspired by his young daughter to create the Pie Jesu part. Otherwise, she's definitely not a child.

    In all fairness, though, I must say that this one isn't Avanti's fault.

    Nope. Can't get onto YT on this £$%£"$^ train. Don't remember there being any ban on streaming in the T&Cs

    Just for once, I would really appreciate it if my trip home from Birmingham New Street didn't turn into a total disaster. GRRRR!!!!!

    Thinking about last-minute replacements in Requiem, which I was after Saturday, I recall a dancer - I think it was Bennet Gartside - having to be replaced in a previous run. By three different dancers! It was very complicated. All the more credit to the company for the way they coped on Saturday.

    That's what I thought you must have meant

    Goodness, there's a name from the past!

    Having had my own knee cartilage "cleaned up" a couple of decades ago, I trust the medical staff in this case will know better than to claim you can be back at work in a couple of weeks (if it is merely an arthroscopy)! It sounds like it, anyway. Best wishes to both James and Rio for a full recovery, and I look forward to seeing them back next season.

    I must admit, it does amuse me rather to see "only" 7 performances of Coppelia scheduled - and no mention at all of the other full-length works. Such a difference from e.g. the Royal Ballet!

    Hi, Tiaramum. I've added tags to your post which may be helpful. Certainly the "accommodation" one brings up several threads on accommodation for ENBS, and I think some are specifically for summer courses. Do note, though, that far from all threads are tagged, so you may have to go searching further afield.

    Oh darn - but thanks. Wonder if I can watch it on the train going home? Would just fit the journey nicely

    Actually, it was surprisingly quick: 40 minutes from where my office is in Zone 4 to the venue via a different route. But then of course I had to get home again - via yet another route ...

    It's been a fairly rubbish last few days anyway, but now to cap it all there's a tree down on the line just when I'm trying to get to tonight's Ballet Association ☹️

    Might it have been something by Balletboyz?

    A lot of Picturehouses seem to go for a midweek daytime repeat showing, which may not be ideal for people who work, although I suppose it is a completely different time of day if people can't manage evenings.

    I'm sure Kurihara would be fine if you wanted to continue with that. I haven't seen Hirata for quite some time, and am not sure how she is currently - I think she's been off with injury for quite a while, unless I'm thinking of last season.

    Bumping, as it's tonight.

    The link I was trying to put up last night was oddly shortened. Try this one for greater accuracy: https://cinemas.roh.org.uk/?title=macmillan-celebrated

    I was assuming he had. I meant to say, too, that I think we may have been one soldier short in Different Drummer, too: I thought there were two groups of five plus the four named ones, but I thought last night there was only one five. It did leave me wondering whether there was some bug or something doing the rounds.

    Well, I'd like to see both Tombeaux and Prodigal Son reinstated from the lockdown-hit mixed bills - but probably not the other components. And yes, a bintley bill would be very nice - was it Consort Lessons the RB did, or the one I always confuse it with? But we're getting into the realms of wishlists again.

    I think triggered by the presence of an Onegin costume in one of the display cabinets along with one from Alice?

    And can I just say, despite the regrettable absence of the two originally scheduled principals, just how good it's been to see Isabella Gasparini grow into the lead female role in Danses Concertantes?
