    The final performance of that programme is tonight, Sheila, at Northern Stage. It is indeed very worrying.

    It's a shame it clashes with the Royal Ballet Swan Lake cinema stream and doesn't seem to be available to watch afterwards.

    Emeralds, in 2013 a Bolshoi musician died after falling into the orchestra pit. I presume the grid at the ROH was introduced in response to that.

    I would guess two reasons - firstly that they are frequently performed and so known by many of the dancers, and so don't require as much rehearsal given that it's the start of the season and dancers have been on summer break. Secondly because in comparison with for e.g. Petipa, they are not the most demanding in terms of classical technique, which again is helpful after a long summer break.

    I think only the ones with the little circles on are reduced.

    I was glad to read such a positive review as I waited for my train on a cold station at 6.30am!

    That explains how I managed to snap up a pair of very central SCS yesterday afternoon!

    I wonder if the fact that they are inviting audience members to visit the bars throughout the performance is because they are trying to avoid large crowds gathering there during the interval. I have had an email from another venue reminding the audience that they don't need to wait until the interval to visit the toilets.

    Mayerling will be performed in 2022, by Scottish ballet, in a new version adapted from Macmillan's original production. I expect it will be seen in London in 2023 at Sadler's Wells.

    It looks as if the people in front have a full view so wouldn't have any valid reason to lean forward/move around. Can you angle yourself on the high stools on row C or angle the seats at all? I'm not tall, but also don't mind about lack of comfort...It also seems appealing in row C to have no-one behind, as at least you can move your own head around too, presumably, if the person in front is doing the same- without having to worry about ruining it for the person behind?

    What experience do people have of the balcony loose seats please? C24 - 27
  13. RHowarth
    Thank you- I actually own a copy so will have to revisit!

    This keeps happening to me too Janet - but from Leeds and Edinburgh too. Requires rather a lot of headspace to keep track of what is booked and what can't yet be booked. Bizarrely, for two of my forthcoming trips to Edinburgh, LNER don't seem to be running trains south after 6pm and I've had to book the Transpennine Express despite living on the East Coast Mainline.

    Emeralds, I'd love to know what book this is so I can look for a copy.

    They danced beautifully together at the Fonteyn gala - a marriage of pure classicism. But I do very much hope that Nunez isn't injured.

    Now down as Naghdi/Muntagirov.

    There are 2 balcony tickets available for his public Swan Lake in case anyone is looking, and 1 in the stalls.

    Not a smaller company at all, but it looks as if the forum hasn't received a press release, so I wanted to flag up that tickets are onsale for Scottish Ballet's The Crucible in June at Sadler's Wells. I was at the premiere a few years ago in Edinburgh and this is a ballet well worth watching.

    I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post the link, but I saw it via the Dancing Times on Facebook. It sounds as if only Saturday's performances at Northampton were cancelled.
  21. RHowarth
    BBC News reports that performances in Northallerton and Wolverhampton have been cancelled. At least in Northampton's case, this is at the instigation of the venue, who will carry the financial loss.

    It's now stating Bracewell as Bonelli's replacement.
  23. RHowarth
    Within a single sitting? No good if the toddler wakes up...I rarely drink a cup of coffee within a single sitting, let alone watch a live stream. I wonder why this is deemed necessary.
  24. RHowarth
    How wonderful. I hope it goes out on TV. I know BRB did streams during the pandemic but am I right in thinking the last time they had a production filmed for TV was Cinderella back in around 2010?
  25. RHowarth
    I seem to remember Bracewell and Morera dancing together in Asphodel Meadows too?
