Oh Rob you must send that last one to Carlos…it’s wonderful!  ❤️👏

I tagged him in the insta story version, but he may be inundated with stuff  😆

@Rob S Thank you. I'll be planning to get my later possible train then. And the 2h50 originally on the ROH website was more accurate than the 2h30 it was changed to.

Yes, they've changed it back to 2hrs 50 on the website. I don't know if it was just for opening night but there was an extensive curtain call at the end and red runs too

Could anyone confirm what the running time was last night please? I'm going this evening & need to know for trains.

It finished at about 2220 after starting at 1935

What a lovely evening that was!!!

The ROH shop finally has a supply of Like Water For Chocolate on blu ray

I can't get anything else, which was my point :⁠-⁠(

When you click on the Plan Your Journey section you don't get the pop up asking for the details?

Talking about badly functioning websites, has anyone attempted - and I use the word advisedly - to use nationalrail.co.uk since it went into its new beta version?   Totally incompetent.  I try to check what trains are running later today, and it won't give me anything further ahead than two hours.  At 1 am.

That sounds like the live trains function rather than the standard function...look again

Stalls Circle Sparkling place D6 is on sale for £10

The last time this happened to me .. >>

1. I'd clicked on the seat icon, clicked 'Select', at which point the pop up  'Add to Basket' appears, clicked that and it wasn't available anymore (which I now understand means it is in someone's basket but they are still within the 30-minute buying period, probably looking at other performances). Because it hasn't yet been paid for, the system deigns it available for 'selection' but not available to add to your basket

2. I went back to the seating plan, but now was told I'd exceeded my ticket limit - the difference this time was the first ticket was still in that post-selection/pre-purchase pop up window. Once I deleted that from the pop up  'Add to basket', I could add another.

 

I believe there are variations on this theme but most problems I am aware of are rooted in that period between a seat being available for 'Selection' yet not available for 'Add to Basket'.

 

To this day it still says I’ve exceeded the ticket limit and won’t even show me the seating map….this is after I have deleted the cookies for the ROH website on Chrome….I guess I’m doomed to be an incognito tab user on my worktop pc for the rest of my career

Fwiw, I found that set, and the palette in particular, strikingly evocative of Edgar Degas' ballerina paintings.

Yes, that’s what I thought too when I first saw the photo on the booking page for the performance. 
 

I didn’t take too many pics yesterday but I was pleased with this one 

I loved the gasp and applause when the curtains opened to reveal the Konservatoriet set. 

This seat is still available

Due to train strikes my treasured D50 SCS place for this performance is up for sale at the astounding price of £14

Please message if interested

I now have Chrome working on a PC....just no places in 'my area' for various Don Q casts I want to see

Now managed to get six tickets on my phone by Firefox but PC on Chrome still showing 500 Error

Worst booking opening day EVER!!!

Lost all my tickets I had in my basket

I'm getting a message on the ROH website 'Sorry you have exceeded your ticket limit' when I click on Buy Tickets...it first appeared when trying to check availability for the RBS performance when I already had 1 ticket (1 ticket is not the limit) but also appears for Australian Ballet performances I don't have tickets for. Does anyone else suffer this problem? The problem exists whether I'm signed in or not (although I can get round it by using an incognito tab in Chrome)

Fumi Kaneko has a nice look around the Month in the Country set on her IQ stories

It's an amazing clip

Yes, it's still availble

Given the ROH mistake has been spotted and corrected before seats have been available to Friends, letalone the general public, a limited number of people requesting an exchange due to an ROH admin error at this stage should have the fee waived

For sale is the Amphitheatre seat L48....a most marvellous view, aisle seat....yours for £10

Please message if interested

It would've been nice if the ROH website had updated the ranking section on the day of the announcement....I doubt it was a surprise they came out yesterday

I'm not sure how, with so few leavers (and 4 of them apprentices of one kind or another), the Company can keep on taking in more from the Aud Jebsen scheme. V

Maybe that's why they didn't take on all the Aud Jebsen dancers

Well done to them all, particularly pleased for Isabella Gasparini
