  1. Great name for a coffee shop! It was an early ambition of mine to have shop called Just Desserts. Sadly, never fulfilled that ambition (and didn't become a ballerina either).
  2. Don't we all love our ice creams! Can anyone remember which theatre it is has the wonderful Minghella ice creams (from Isle of Wight)? Best ice cream has to be their ginger and honey.
  3. That was the most stressful booking session I can recall - crazy. Don't know if the new package deals made it worse, but it really was seriously bad. Like others, I'm not entirely sure I got what I meant to or whether they're being posted or I collect them. Feel really sorry for unfortunate Opera House box office staff, who must have had an appalling day dealing with a string of upset and cross would-be ticket buyers.
  4. Loved it! I wish they (or someone) would bring back Christopher Bruce's "Hurricane".
  5. Any clues on casting for Lest We Forget? It's not that long till April and the Barbican.
  6. If I realize I've mis-keyed, is there no way of going back to something I've posted and correcting my bad typing? I hate spotting that I got a name wrong!
  7. Just tidying a shelf and came upon 2001 programme for Giselle for Cojacaru and Kobborg the night she was promoted. Brought back brilliant memories.
  8. I can't get to it either. How come some people can? Any clues?
  9. Many thanks for finding this! This has all brought back great memories of early ballet-going days. I was lucky enough to see Helpman and Ashton as the ugly sisters in Cinderella too.
  10. Ah yes, the Mother Hubbard and children coming out from under the skirt. But that rings a bell from my very early ballet-going days, back in late 60s. I need to hunt through old programmes at my mother's house to see what I can turn up. Unless ENB have an archive going back to their earlier days.
  11. That sounds like the one! I wish I could remember more about it. Glad to know it wasn't false memory syndrome.
  12. Sure I saw a version of the Nutcracker many many moons ago with a dance featuring a giant teapot - either Royal Ballet or Festival Ballet (yes, going back that far!) - can anyone out there help me out with this?
  13. I saw Ferri and Eagling dance Romeo and Juliet 29 years ago on the night my first baby was due - luckily he was two weeks late or I'd have missed one of the best performances I ever saw in a lifetime of ballet watching.
  14. So maddening isn't it! Some apps seem much more trouble than they're worth. Today on the main site, though, the restaurant link wasn't working and kept going in a loop - it always seems to take forever to remove the glitches when a site gets updated/improved. Very pleased to see the biogs are there at last.
  15. Mostly hoorah - but having big problems trying to get anywhere with a smartphone. It was really easy to use the old website rather than the app on my phone. The app won't let me select my own seats.
  16. Such a shame it's not selling better. Thanks for the useful advice on timing too.
  17. Does anyone have any ideas please on the likely running time for the friends rehearsal on 17th December?
  18. How can we persuade more cinemas to take these? Say the Curzon group? Or independents like The Flavel in Dartmouth and The Dartington Barn, which take the ROH and NT. So many more of us would love to get the chance to see them.
  19. Thanks for this update. It'd be interesting if they'd publish a list. Bet the recent graduates wish they'd been amongst the first to use the new HQ.
  20. How about the Rambert? Does anyone know about them please?
  21. How do I get onto English-language versions of these please? Or am I being thick?
  22. How was the saturday eve performance? Who finally danced the leads - casting changed after injury to Masha and varied on different websites? Anyone know where Smirnova is next to be seen in UK (or Paris)? Or Vasiliev?
