    Can anyone recommend good seats to go for, bearing in mind I will only be able to afford one ballet (Bayadere), poss stalls, or stalls circle?

    Thanks everyone for the info. I belong to Friends of the Mariinski and they haven't even informed me that the company are coming! Assuming that I will only be able to attend one performance at ROH and also that my friend prefers Bayadere, what do members think of Mariinski Bayadere?

    Does anyone remember seeing on tv years ago, Carmen danced by Baryshnikov and Zizi Jeanmaire? If so, does anyone know if there is a dvd available. Also I remember seeing a modern day production of Coppelia on tv, I think with a french company, I think it was set in a block of flats. Does this ring bells with anyone?

    Yes I too would love to see the Ballet Russes triple bills again. I know I have asked this question before, so bear with me, when will casting be announced please?

    I went to the Don Q at the cinema yesterday. I haven't seen the ballet before, so it was all new. I loved the trailer but was rather perplexed by the music, although by the time we had seen the trailer a few times, it grew on me. I have tried to follow all the threads but can someone identify the dancers in the trailer and the ballets, which I assume will be forthcoming events at the cinema? And (possibly off topic) does anyone know what the music was ? I did think the huge quantity of dancers on stage did take away from the principals in Act 1, but I loved Act 11, the set, costumes and loved the main gypsy dancer, was that Kristina Karasyova? Spectacular dancing from Kitri and Chudin near the end. The cinema audience loved it and showed their appreciation at the end.

    We are going to the Gala and thanks for the casting list and other info. Would anyone know if the programme is published in advance?

    I went to both ROH Traviata at Everyman Esher and Jonas Kaufmann Puccini Evening at Odeon Epsom recently. The Violetta was just wonderful Venera Gimadieva, wasn't sure about the Alfredo, Saimir Pirgu. Germont pere was great, Luca Salsi. Seats at Everyman cost £17.80 and we sat in a two seater sofa with plenty of leg room. Interestingly seats for any of the Met lie relays are £30 each. Even more interesting is that they don't appear on the Odeon listings of live events. The visit to the Kaufmann concert was lovely. The Orchestra of La Scala were absolutely great and Kaufmann super as usual. I would like to go to at least one of the Met live perf in cinema but not sure about the £30 tickets, also I have some comments to make for the Manager at the Everyman Esher about the experience.

    Does anyone think performances will be screened live into cinemas?
  16. jamie14
    I can see there are more technical issues to do with the purchasing of this DVD(s), namely Region (?) and 4.3(what's that?). Jamie14

    Thank you for fantastic and comprehensive reply.

    Yes I did actually phone my friend who has Sky Arts (I dont) and she told me R&J was listed. However she said when she looked on the TV guide on screen, it had been replaced with Nureyev and Friends!

    Hello All Many thanks for all the suggestions, keep them coming. Actually I personally like the Macmillan, but I think my friend would like one of each!
  20. jamie14
    I would like to buy a dvd of R&J (Prokoviev)as a present for a friend. I understand that everyone has their personal favourites, but could members make any suggestions please which one to get?

    Is anyone interested in having any of my videos before I throw them away, various ballets and operas. Let me know and I will list them for you.

    Silly of me to ask I suppose. I just wondered if it would be worth seeing at Wimbledon.
  25. jamie14
    I may be very naive but next week Car Man is on at Wimbledon Theatre. Does anyone know the casting? Will this v exciting male dancer who is in all the blurb for the London performance be in it, for instance ?!
