    I echo your sentiment, definitely made a difference sitting in the stalls vs higher up in terms of benefitting from the lights and lasers in Orlando. Not fully read up on this work but the lasers, lights and light smoke gave the sense that you were seeing Orlando across fragments of time. The cast this evening was exceptional - in terms of the overall casting but also the quality of performance. Was potentially feeling a bit emotional anyway after a really exhausting week but found Mrs Dalloway to be incredibly emotive. It’s hard to pick out performances but Joseph Sissens is an incredible dancer and loved his partnership as Septimus with Calvin Richardson, also standout.

    I never used to be keen on the score but I think I like it more having got to know Prokofiev’s ‘palette of sound’ through MacMillan’s R&J

    My thoughts too. I've emailed Alex Beard and KoH about this as understand that their need to try out increasing seat prices to cover costs but it's obviously not working given this production is new, exciting and should bring in broader audiences. Surely more strategic thought is needed in terms of how they go on to filling their seats vs a last minute panic giveaway for almost nothing which doesn't necessarily drive the deeper engagement they obviously need.

    Thank you, appreciate it!!

    Wow, had a great evening. Particularly loved Time Spell which was an insanely clever mixture of voice (not all can be described as singing), ballet, tap and contemporary and was completely engaging and uplifting. It also felt very American somehow, like experiencing a slice of New York. I hope that this piece will be eligible/entered for next year’s Olivier Awards. It seems like the perfect piece of high quality, mainstream dance art. I was cutting it quite fine in terms of getting there so unfortunately didn’t manage to get a programme- they all sold out! It would be great if anyone could share the complete list of artists from Time Spell.

    I just can’t understand how they can charge £100 or more for restricted view seats. Or for any seats in Amphi. Or benches. Or charge the same for full view balcony as they do for lower tiers. Along with the significantly higher prices in the full view seats, it seems as though the ROH are shooting themselves in more than the foot. Keenly watching Cinderella ticket sales - with some dispair.

    I stand corrected. It is available on YouTube but ROH website is directing to streaming service which requires subscription!

    The link has been posted earlier in the thread but it doesn’t appear to be public. If you go to the ROH site the livestream link has an error message and the Rolex branded link directs to the paid streaming service. An interesting strategy to monetise the insights but given the insights usually help promote cinema, such a limited free run is hardly going to be beneficial.

    Interesting that already on the ROH site the insight is only accessible via ROH stream which suggests that they are only going to livestream events going forwards and explains why the event wasn’t searchable on YouTube. I wonder if they will see a significant dent on viewing figures and what the impact will be on ticket purchases and cinema viewing.

    I have also now received and responded

    I got a similar response and replied to say it’s strange as I am opted into everything.

    I didn’t receive either survey…
  13. Blossom
    Too excited for this! But looks like it was in 2022 when I click the link?
  14. Blossom
    Thank you thank you thank you!I couldn’t watch it live and had been struggling to find it!

    And Crystal Pite won last year for Revisor too- would it be unusual to win 2 years in a row?

    I think we covered it ourselves. The idea is to prevent any photos inside the Kit Kat Club which might then ruin the experience for others.
  17. Blossom
    At Cabaret they stick a sticker over your camera to stop photos being taken- even at the curtain call.

    I did wonder when tonight’s event went in the ROH schedule. I am so sad that I couldn’t make it but tonight was always going to be impossible. I can’t make her Cinderella performance either.
  19. Blossom
    This is exactly the point I made in the comments at the end of the survey, using the words ‘daylight robbery’.

    According to Yuhui Choe it wasn’t filmed and was actually their first rehearsal with Wayne McGregor. Such a shame for us but I guess takes off the pressure for them! Just a little unfair given tickets are like gold dust!
  21. Blossom
    I still haven't seen it!
  22. Blossom
    I really did not enjoy the Nutcracker pdd.
  23. Blossom
    Well Don Q beat Black Swan PDD on this occasion. Both dancers were brilliant but Mayara was just gorgeous and has just the right temperament for Kitri. Would love to see her dance the full production at ROH (with Cesar Corrales).
  24. Blossom
    Thank you - it’s still available on the Medici app/website!
