    They have opened some classes for free to non-members this week, see their Facebook page for more info. Highly recommended!

    Hi, I got a new phone and re-downloaded the app and all my purchases were still accessible on the new phone. I've never had any problems with the app, you can slow down the exercises by pressing the tortoise symbol which is really useful.

    The email I had this afternoon said it was for all three dates.

    Agreed - and such a long tour of Cinderella in contrast to opportunities to see other work across the country.

    You've probably already noticed this, but BRB are performing a triple bill at Sadler's Wells on the same day as that triple bill matinee at the ROH. It doesn't help with seeing both RB casts but does make the trip more worthwhile. The RB matinee is an early one so I have bought a cheap ticket for BRB matinee and aim to catch the last ballet on that bill, Theme and Variations, at the matinee (after watching matinee at ROH) and then watch the whole BRB bill that evening.

    Quick trip to the photocopier would have solved that problem!

    Friday night was very geared up to the press. I could only find a cast sheet from the press table, and the chap manning it wasnt keen to relinquish it to a mere paying customer!

    When I went, I booked in person at the theatre on the day at the Alicia Alsonso theatre (this was for contemporary dance company rather than ballet). My Spanish is very poor, GCSE-nearly-20-years-ago standard (and be aware that in Cuba people will often speak as much English as you speak Spanish, it isn't like being in Amsterdam!) but I managed to successfully buy a ticket for that night's performance as well as for an English tour. The ticket was around £30 and was near the front of the stalls- a very good seat.

    Both tickets now accounted for! Thank you.

    Hi, I have two upper slips tickets to give away for this - cc 23 and 24.
  12. RHowarth
    Hello! I already have a pair of upper slips seats for this one but am looking to upgrade one or both seats (don't need to be together). Do please bear me in mind if you have anything you can't use.

    Johnny, I've just returned one to the box office for 16 Jan but it's a little over your price point at £30.
  14. RHowarth
    Just bumping this up! I'll return to ROH this week if there are no takers here.
  15. RHowarth
    It's a paper ticket but I will be there in the night to hand over. Cost £30.

    A year or so ago I stopped wearing Freeds as I was getting through them far too quickly and they were costing me a fortune; they were only lasting me a few hours but the fitter in the Freed shop was adamant that my particular maker in a Classic Pro (xxx width) was the right shoe for me despite the fact that the maker was known to make a light shoe. In a few months I tried several new brands, including the Merlet Diva which I rather liked. I have a strong, square foot but can struggle to get my right (weaker) foot over the box. Didn't have that problem with the Merlets, found them easy to dance in and very comfortable, especially compared to some Russian Pointes I tried in the same period which really didn't agree with me and flayed the skin off my feet very high up (where you would get a bunion but on the outside of the foot if you see what I mean - above the little toe). The Merlets lasted well and in fact there was still wear left in them before I moved on into Bloch European Balance Strong, which I stayed in as I love them and they're perfect for me.

    And if anyone has another, I am also looking!
  18. RHowarth
    That is certainly the received wisdom in the sector.
  19. RHowarth
    But I've had an email!
  20. RHowarth
    Well, I've booked, and after tying myself in knots trying to find reasonably priced tickets for RB Swan Lakes and Sleeping Beauties recently, it made a change to book row D of the dress circle for £30!
  21. RHowarth
    I'll buy it please if still available! Edited to add: so sorry but I have now purchased two tickets for this (must have been returns) from ROH site. They were the last two!

    I find myself unexpectedly in London that evening. I know it's a long shot this far from the date in question. Looking for stalls circle standing, balcony standing or cheap amphi seats, x 2 if possible. There are plenty of amphi seats available at the moment but they're out of my price range and I can't stomach paying £45 for a seat I've paid under £20 for in the very recent past.
  23. RHowarth
    Yes, silly me, I didn't realise that when you put the stream on, it wouldn't default to live - it starts from the beginning (recorded) and you have to fast forward to get to the live bit.
  24. RHowarth
    I've now managed to view the Bolshoi class which seems more likely to be live than the Australian Ballet class I started with!

    So it looks as if it's not actually available live on you tube... There's something going on on Facebook but not on You Tube. Not a great start to my day off work as now I need to work out how to get Facebook on my TV! Edited to add that it's now playing a trailer... Looks like You Tube is around ten minutes behind Facebook
