    By chance I've just seen that a pair of Stalls tickets has become available - £59 each. Be quick!

    Personally I find being there in person with unamplified music you get a completely different type of sound: it's a full-body thing, compared to recorded or amplified music, which only really "hits" my ears, unless it's overamplified in which case it's just unpleasant. I will compromise on a lot and spend a lot more money to get the former.

    POB were due to dance it before strikes and/or Covid intervened, I can't remember which. Also I think that Vienna has a production?

    Aren't we straying into speculation territory here?

    Could be!

    I think there's a medium to be struck. Having Siegfried just lie there risks making him look useless and not worth Odette's time. It's also unintentionally comic.

    I didn't - must have been mistaken!

    It was post Christmas last time and I think it sold well. Can't be sure though!

    We could have Nutcracker as well. Coppelia was programmed as well as Nutcracker last time.

    I certainly felt safer once I'd taken a few steps back from my chair!

    The first time was a bit alarming but I adjusted after a few minutes and don't give it a thought now. Having had vertigo temporarily once I do sympathise with those who can't stick it. Much worse IMO is the front row of the Paris Opera Garnier top tier: I made it through the performance but did NOT adjust to that.

    I was aware of the size difference - that POB is a very large company by most standards is hardly a secret - but did a count to check.

    Yes, much more recent - five years ago, the Ball run.

    I wasn't expecting a ballet but I was expecting something more choreographically inventive (and better danced TBH). I agree he has some very good ideas and insights. Like some others who've posted, I have a lot of respect for MB so don't want to badmouth him, but I've tried him several times and have to conclude he's not for me.

    This is not so. ENB has ~70 dancers on the payroll and the RB has ~100 (including Aud Jebsen and character dancers). Paris has about 150.
