Would this help?

It might be better and avoid confusion if they added the new levels to the seating plan, but I’m sure they have plans to update it.

I didn’t get to see Ball with Cuthbertson in Marguerite & Armand but if I remember rightly, weren’t they rather good together? If so, their R&J could be something special. 

I thought their chemistry in Marguerite & Armand was fabulous. I hadn’t really expected their pairing to be so emotional (in fact I hadn’t given it a thought and had only gone because I was at a loose end) but I was blown away and so were the people sitting nearby. I’m definitely going to try to catch them in R&J. I’ve been very impressed with Corrales in Mayerling, so I hope to see him and Hayward as well. 

I am rather taken with both casts for Within the Golden Hour. I do love that ballet!

Looks like all the staff have been deployed on ticket checks at each and every door - and there are a lot of doors!

I don’t know what happened on Saturday night but my ticket wasn’t checked at all even though there were staff on the door to the staircase. Maybe it was because I looked like I knew where I was going...

This looks beautiful, I wonder if there will be any other chances to see it?

It seems like it being shown as part of the Month of Sundays at the ROH on 11 Nov: https://www.roh.org.uk/events/dq4r6

Oh that happened at the Lowry earlier this year too.  I hope no-one was hurt by the shattered glass.

I don’t think so; it just shattered in the frame. I suppose it was roped off as a precaution.

Had to laugh.  The 'new' ROH piazza entry door - revolving and not - was shut off yesterday.  

 

In at least small part, the 'Open Up' incentive already seems to be 'closing down'

 

'May' it please NOT be a sign of/for our times!!!

 

According to the staff member guarding the piazza entrance, a gust of wind had caught the door as it was closing, bending the frame and shattering the glass.

But after some thorough searching, I found something I really liked: they made the 'IN' and 'OUT' signage of the loo doors really obvious in the former amphi, and even changed the doors so they look like one that opens inwards and one that opens outwards. If that doesn't clarify it to punters, nothing will.

The “in” and “out” is now very clear but they’ve changed the former “in” door to be the “out” door in the ladies, which has the potential to cause some severe door bashing to anyone coming out of the disabled toilet. A near miss happened on Monday at the rehearsal.

It took a while for me to realise that the word ‘Balcony’ had been removed and replaced by Level 3!

I do find the new ‘levels’ more reminiscent of a multi-storey car park than a theatre!

I was sitting in the amphi today and two ladies tried to sit in the row I was in, to some confusion as one of the seats was already occupied, until I peeked at their tickets and saw they said Level 3 and then in tiny writing ‘Balcony’. The door number looked to be the same, though... 

I’ve sent you a message. 

I have a ticket for the Royal Ballet School Summer Performance on Sunday 8 July I can no longer use. 

£6 Upper Slips Left BB14 - View obstructed by tier ledge, patrons in front may also obstruct view, padded bench with back

It is a physical ticket so it would need to be posted. 

Please PM if interested.

Matthew did hold one arabesque at the end of a series of steps for quite a while and for a moment I thought he had blanked!! However I thought his dancing was really fine and liked his interpretation.

I noticed he did this at the Friday matinée, too – I took it to be a deliberate show of control, but I can see how others may have interpreted it as it was a very obvious hold.   

Ticket has now been returned to the box office. 

I have a spare e-ticket for Swan Lake tonight - D79 Amphi £29. It says restricted view but the view is still decent. 

Please pm if interested. I can email the ticket or hand it over in person as I will be there. I will return it to the box office later if there are no takers. 

No longer needed - found one! 

Looking for a SCS ticket (just one) for Swan Lake on Saturday 9 June.

Here’s hoping!

Hi Lindy. I am interested and have just sent you a PM. 

It’s a paper ticket but I will be there so can meet beforehand to exchange. Please pm if interested. 

I might be interested - pm sent.
