    I had been totally unaware that the BBC made them available to buy at all. I suppose it's another income stream ...

    Congratulations to Sir Bryn, one of a number of people knighted in the New Year's Honours list.

    I've moved the discussion of full inboxes to a separate thread here: http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/14232-inbox-full/ as it was digressing greatly from the original subject

    Blah

    Never knew that before, Janet. It would have been useful many times over!

    Better still, somewhere down towards the bottom on the right, I think, there is a command to archive the message thread. That way, a copy of the whole discussion gets sent to your registered email address.

    I guess that means her inbox is full? Not sure what would have happened to your message - presumably you could have copied it to somewhere else for the duration.

    I'd be interested to hear what people thought of the production - as it was my first time seeing this opera, I don't have anything to compare it with.

    I've gradually come to the conclusion over the years that the ROH opera audience tends to be less considerate than its ballet audience. My recent trip to Der Rosenkavalier only served to reinforce this, I'm afraid I don't know whether there's any correlation between seat price and obnoxiousness.

    Not sure what's happened to my original posting about New Year, but: New Year's Day, BBC2. 12.55 pm: Matthew Bourne's Sleeping Beauty I thought there was also a repeat of the Bussell/Fonteyn programme (I think it was) sometime next week, but I can't spot it now.

    Capybara, it's only an extension of what they used to do at the old cloakroom, blocking the exit to the box office slip despite there being plenty of room elsewhere for them to congregate - and with far less justification - so I'd guess no, no spatial awareness, or awareness of other people.

    Oops, sorry, I knew there was something I'd forgotten in my list!

    We have a thread solely devoted to pronunciation, I think of Russian names, here: http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/5763-how-does-one-pronounce/?hl=pronunciation#entry73957 I may move the relevant parts of this thread into it later.

    I've thought that so many times this year, Fiz Her poor family, what may remain of them - I know her son has been mentioned. My heart goes out to them.

    My goodness, promoting someone from Sujet to Etoile? That'll put the cat among the pigeons, won't it?

    If it's on a publicly accessible account, then it's fine, Josephine. It's only a problem if something which has been said "behind closed doors", so to speak, gets transferred into the public domain. Thanks for posting.

    So surreptitious that I didn't notice at all

    Well, it must have been an incredibly early provisional casting, then. The autumn booking programme went to press in May, and his name was in it by then.

    I didn't realise that Debbie Reynolds was still alive. How awful for her, to lose a daughter.

    Or even Watership At least it's a good old age this time. I used to love that book - and the last page always made me cry. I read Shardik and The Plague Dogs, too.

    George Michael RIP

    I see the BBC is showing a recording of him at the Palais Garnier tomorrow night: I think it was BBC1, 10-11 pm.

    Perhaps they simply meant that it was the first Classical principal role he danced after joining the RB? Because as I said earlier, it wasn't his debut.
  24. alison
    Well, if it was said, it was wrong, so I hope it wasn't!

    Getting back to the 1960 transmission for a minute, I was interested to see the corps dancers in Swan Lake were dancing in something approaching Romantic tutus, while Fonteyn was in a tutu. Considering the number of people who have complained about the Dowell/Sonnabend production contrasting tutu and long skirts, I found this quite surprising.
