Shortly before the start people did hold up no cameras, no phones signs...to the left of the sign was what looked like very small print (unless it was just a pretty pattern (not a QR code)...I assume this is a list of exceptions which includes people that know what they're doing...or it may be 'No shouting Bravo!!! in the ear of your neighbour'

From last night’s performance.

A camera with the backscreen turned off is the answer. I took some of each of the second half pieces tonight with no tap on the shoulder

I had Alice Cooper's Poison running through my veins mind at that point. She really should've mentioned what it was like dancing with him, given Ralph said she did

At least it finishes reasonably early, 2145 I hear....unless you had a £1000 ticket!!

Marcelino has confirmed he won’t be able to take part in Laurencia

His original story said 26th and 30th....but also stated '*revised dates' then too

I don’t know if they’ve changed the prices of selected areas since the spring as sales have been very slow until the last day or so, a few weeks ago I got a £25 seat at the rear of the Royal Circle for opening night to go with my existing £60 seat for the front of the same level for the second night

Is Cesar standing in for a rehearsal or the performance? I'm sure they'll announce soon if Marcelino is injured

Is that for members or normal people?

My friend and I have been discussing this for a while, the Tuesday matinee looks absolutely terrible!!

Vadim was best man!! 😀

Maybe it comes with a free Vadream catcher in the box 😄

Management have barred customer relations from giving you a reason. 😉

It would appear not, which then prompts another question about the Aud Jebsen programme I won't try to derail the thread with 😄

I don't go that far back so I can only think of Lania Atkins who went to Norwegian National Ballet

So where do dancers that have been Aud Jebsen dancers but not taken on by the RB go?

The cameras used used looked far smaller than those usually used for public release material

Loved every minute of it, particulary George Edwards and Tilly Wightman's piece

The casting info is great but how to read the order of running!?😄

Where were you sat and does the orchestra get in the way of people on the rear part of the stage?

Oh dear, is the stage particularly high? Or is it the B & C rows that are at a disadvantage view wise?

If her throne is anything like my sofa it will have quite an impression in it, and my sofa is only 12 years old!!
