The interval ice cream review thread
daisydance replied to BristolBillyBob's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
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). -
The interval ice cream review thread
daisydance replied to BristolBillyBob's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
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. -
ROH booking 2014-15 Autumn
daisydance replied to Coated's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
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. -

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!

The Royal Ballet, Giselle 2014
daisydance replied to capybara's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Just tidying a shelf and came upon 2001 programme for Giselle for Cojacaru and Kobborg the night she was promoted. Brought back brilliant memories.- 286 replies

daisydance replied to Bluebird's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
I can't get to it either. How come some people can? Any clues? -
Sorry to be pedantic but this thread is headed 2013 and I nearly skipped over it.

Royal Ballet - Nutcracker (Christmas 2013)
daisydance replied to zxDaveM's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
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. -

Royal Ballet - Nutcracker (Christmas 2013)
daisydance replied to zxDaveM's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
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. -
Royal Ballet - Nutcracker (Christmas 2013)
daisydance replied to zxDaveM's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
That sounds like the one! I wish I could remember more about it. Glad to know it wasn't false memory syndrome. -
Royal Ballet - Nutcracker (Christmas 2013)
daisydance replied to zxDaveM's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
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? -
Royal Ballet "perilously under-starred"?
daisydance replied to Bruce's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
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. -
New version of ROH website
daisydance replied to Shirley's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
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. -
New version of ROH website
daisydance replied to Shirley's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
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. -
Such a shame it's not selling better. Thanks for the useful advice on timing too.

Does anyone have any ideas please on the likely running time for the friends rehearsal on 17th December?

Ballet in the cinema 2013-2014
daisydance replied to jmhopton's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
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.- 104 replies

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.
