    Does it matter? Vadim has leapt onto the stage before (including during this DQ run) and I loved the 'competition' from Marianela. Why on earth should she not pre-plan that? Her last Kitri this season (possibly, and perish the thought, her last ever at the ROH) and, in any event, a great way to 'go out'.

     

    And, by the way, @dancersdiary is often snapping shows until the very end.

     

    I think the comment was nothing more than a response to my frustration about not getting THE moment of the curtain call

    Just received a survey from a research partner of London Coliseum about attendance which includes

     

    ’Would you be more likely or less likely to attend if the following was offered DURING the performance’

     

    -Freedom to talk or make noise during the performance

    -At seat ordering of drinks/confectionery

    - Different seating options eg standing, reclining, cabaret tables, dancing - the list goes on

    - The ability to take photographs during a performance

    - The ability to take confectionery/drinks into a performance

    -The ability to use my phone/social media during a performance 

    - Freedom to leave and reenter the performance


    Let’s just say I am very much aligned with the views on this specific thread.

     

     

     

    If they want to make one performance in a run with this 'anything goes list' then fine ...mark it as such on the booking page with a note: 'Please note this performance is a Sh*t Show'.

     

    As you can probably imagine I would love to be able to take photos during a performance but that would be from a designated spot at the back of the auditorium, with an electronic shutter, not mechanical, no flash and with an eyepiece, not a screen....there's no way a free for all anywhere in the auditorium could work

    This maybe so, but it's still difficult to understand the logic of £150 stalls seats 'given away' for £12, when amphi seats have gone from £23ish to £52 (as the view is still restricted at the higher price)


    I guess if the ROH’s priority is the appearance of a full house rather than the revenue at that short notice their £150 to £12 strategy is more effective than that of Paddington’s Sainsbury’s on my way home from a performance the other night

    Best of luck to Mr McRae - he's not yet posted anything on his Instagram. I was watching the Bailey's Christmas Nutcracker ad "making of" from 2014 yesterday (it came up in my YouTube feed) and my goodness his body is a completely different shape these days!!


    He has now, it included:

     

    SORRY 

    Unfortunately last night I had an accident on stage & fell.... The performance stopped and I was immediately treated backstage..... I am being cared for by the Royal Ballet Medical Team and we are awaiting scan results to determine what happened.... It does not involve my Achilles!
