    The first performance of this was tonight, with Alina Cojocaru in the title role. Thoughts here, please.

    Southern *were* on strike again, certainly At this rate, we're going to be remarking on when Southern *aren't* on strike There were a lot of empty seats in the Upper Circle, too.

    Will I be able to understand any of it?
  4. alison
    Hasn't the subject been brought up before? It seems familiar.

    Unexpected birthday presents

    Oh well, that's worth knowing. Mine's only a couple of years out of date. Thanks for starting this, Lisa.

    In all fairness, I don't think it's Salenko herself who comes in for the stick, it's that she keeps being brought in as a guest when some people think that there are (relatively small) ballerinas in the company who might benefit from the opportunity to dance the roles instead. (And please don't let's start opening that can of worms again)

    Me too. Wish I'd known - I'd happily have paid an extra £5 for Alina

    It was certainly news to me!

    The trouble with Exmouth Market is that I don't think people generally realise it's there, or what there is there. Over the years, I've seen various branches of chains set up there, and eventually close. I suspect many of them do good enough business on weekdays, but evenings and weekends do appear to be a struggle

    I thought you had to have a passport even for internal flights, but maybe they've changed that now? Oh great, I can't even get on a plane to anywhere ...

    Me too

    Me too. I hadn't realised it was happening at all I've only ever missed one Watson Mayerling, and I don't intend to make an exception this time, but if I can't get in the amphi then there are barely any seats I can afford (I'm assuming I won't be able to get a stalls circle standing). I've no objection to them making one performance a "student special", but just wish they wouldn't take out the entire "cheap section" in so doing. Perhaps they could do one half of the amphi at two separate performances - might fit in better with students' schedules, too?

    Not necessarily. I guess it will depend on fitness, among other things.
  15. alison
    It can still be moved

    I think they were offering some at about £33 fairly recently - still far too high for me. Get Into London Theatre offers may still be available, of course.

    Zilch, I'd say. The Mariinsky haven't embraced the concept at all.

    Hilarion and Myrtha have now been announced as well: http://www.ballet.org.uk/whats-on/giselle/

    Glad you managed to get them posted, Simon! Is there any indication of how recent or otherwise they are?
  20. alison
    Was anyone suggesting that it would be?

    Bruce, I've cut your NYT quote down to the essentials, as it breached our quoting guidelines. In the meantime, thank you to those who've steered the thread back on topic
  22. alison
    Does the thread below help, Simon? http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/325-posting-in-a-review-and-pictures/

    Ah, so I *have* got a ticket for it! Just not sure whether I can cope with 2 Beauties in one day ...

    "I think that Kevin's decision to give him a contract is one of the best thing to have happened to the company in years" Or maybe Muntagirov's decision to ask for one?

    "Takada's Aurora is developing very nicely and I look forward to seeing this pairing again in a few weeks time." Oh? Have they got some more performances somewhere? I thought I was going to have to miss out on them.
