I don't think we had this problem to the same extent when the Bolshoi did it. And I don't think we had the blinding light from the pianist's music.

I've just completed the latest ROH Survey and mentioned the poor sight lines for In The Night. Each of the three couples dance part of the time almost in the wings. A significant section of the audience is looking at an empty stage. On Saturday eve I was SC D11(my first viewing of this bill from left side) and was 'blinded' by the light from the pianist's music. I suggested having the pianist at the back of the stage. (I wrote my name and email address on this Survey.)

I find the comments about Nehemiah Kish in the above post from Jacqueline very offensive.

The Royal Ballet - Swan Lake, October 2012
billboyd replied to zxDaveM's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
I was at Clapham Picture House. The picture did not seem to be HD. It was not as good as a Blu-ray disc. Odette's tutu became bright yellow at times. The Act 4 dramatic climax was 'lost'. -

billboyd replied to Norman Reynolds's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Just received In The House for Spring Period. - Once again all Friends are able to book 4 tickets for every performance. There will be little chance of 'basic' Friends and the 'Public' booking any SC standing tickets. -

Royal Ballet Winter 2012-2013 Booking
billboyd replied to Norman Reynolds's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
I exchanged emails with Susan Fisher the day after Friends booking. - She confirmed that on Friends booking day some performances had no SC standing available - as higher Friends had booked them all. - For last booking period the allowance was very generous.- She gave no indication that tickets would be released prior to Public Booking. -
I thoroughly enjoyed Love Tomorrow. Beautiful, moving and natural performances by Cindy Jourdain and Arional Vargas - and the many supporting performers. Covers a 24hr period in about 45 locations around London. Excellent score. A great production superbly directed. ***** Five stars

Bolshoi Sleeping Beauty DVD
billboyd replied to Beryl H's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
Beryl - Amazon tell me (after several exchanges of email) that both of these discs are DVD - the £23.20 is not Blu Ray. - They are from 'different suppliers'. -

At that time he was in emotional turmoil and maybe, not always rational in his comments. -

Has received great praise from Mr Clement Crisp! Mr Crisp was very worried that we may drown in 'that damned lake!'. -
