I should've said she's a Young Friend in the original post. So you have the same problem, I'll let her know.

Odd, she was particularly interested in Mayerling but each production for the rest of the season has the same date of release for Friends and Young Friends and that's in the region of a month in advance of the public. She has messaged the box office so maybe they'll put her mind at rest.

She must be, the page that gives her the date of her booking date of 26th July (which is not a date listed on the general page as being relevant to any customer type) also has a button to View Magazine and Season Guide....it does also states she can book a rehearsal from 12th July, and additional rehearsals from 14th July

Can anyone that is a Friend or Young Friend tell me when the 'Your Booking Dates' states performances and Insights will open for you? My friend (with a small f) is concerned it's telling her that booking opens on 26th July when it should be 5th July.

Thank you, this has all been very useful...I'll definitely ring before booking to see where they think the current areas are.

I've done a quick search and can't see a discussion sooooo..... Can anyone tell me what you would expect to see in one of the £16, 75 minute tours of the ROH during the off season? The website states twice that it 'does not enter the backstage areas of the Royal Opera House' it but I'm not sure exactly what that rules out.

Finally seeing Giselle Osipova as Juliet O'Sullivan/Sambe, Kaneko/Bracewell Magri/Richardson in R&J Steven McRae's return in R&J Claire Calvert as Odette Kaneko/Bonelli in Swan Lake The Ashton triple bill

The music for the first wedding?

Quite a standing ovation tonight 👏

I think that would be a bit too quick, I'd be expecting Isabella Gasparini to become an FS first but I'm hoping Leticia will be a Soloist.

It's far better than it was....all the Aud Jebsen dancers are now listed, with brief biographies (a pic to help identify them would be nice). I assume Bracewell and Clarke are still First Soloists until the start of the new season so that's not changed yet.

Thank you Capybara, I’m now singing West End Shows to the tune of West End Girls

Thank you, I have now now been helped out with one 🙂

Pleeeeeeease help, pleeeeeeeeease!! Thank you

The RBS have posted a decent clip of some of their routine now https://www.instagram.com/p/Ceg3f1GDfz3/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

They piped the sound of Andrew Lloyd Webber singing in to a very crowded area and everyone vanished

That was by using drones

Having just watched the bits of the concert that I wanted to see....I would say that the TV/audience screen people couldn't win with that ballet staging. What they should've done is either have Lauren and Reece dance with the RBS in one place or one do their piece after the other. I don't think they showed a long shot of the Mall so couldn't see what the crowds were being shown but in other parts of the concert they were being shown close ups of the artists rather than just what we saw on the telly, so it may be the the live audience saw far more of either dance than we did

I found it interesting enough just looking round the inside in the pre Open Up era on Google Streetview (2013)

A lovely clip on Amelia Townsend’s Instagram Story that showed some of the dancers were watching the coverage in the dressing room

How strange, thank you for clarifying....I went to many performances of Swan Lake when the Ukranian anthem was played and the special performance sounded completely different even though I was standing in the same place in Stalls Circle...today's anthem had the same qualities, like it was coming from speakers.

😆Oh you saw Marianela Nuñez in the foyer during both intervals too? 😆 We should all have balletcoforum lanyards to wear!!

Interesting, I couldn’t see them from where I was, it just didn’t sound like that was where the sound was coming from
