    Very much so. Looking forward to seeing this cast again in March. I head a child crying earlier - it sounded like a baby from the amphitheatre but I thought under 5's weren't allowed?

    The general rehearsal is tomorrow morning (Saturday 14th) and the run starts on Monday. The cast sheet for tomorrow has now been released - I am very pleased that William Bracewell and Fumi Kaneko will be performing (lucky for those of us who will be going tomorrow and I am seeing them again later in the run). https://static.roh.org.uk/digital/cast-sheets/Sleeping+Beauty/Beauty_general-v5.pdf

    According to BBC News - If workers agree to strike, details must be given to the employer at least 14 days before it begins (unless the union and employer agree to seven days).

    Hope so - I'm booked for their performance on the 11th May.

    Just posted on the ROH's YouTube - a quick behind the scenes view of The Nutcracker - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSm7p-Kzy28

    I wouldn't joke about that - it may come to pass (!)
  8. MJW
    Yes - I've had the same problem. All other streams seem fine.
  9. MJW
    You might just want to check with ROH though (!)

    My subscription was monthly - I have cancelled before payments start next month and my subscription runs until 18th January. If you cancel before your payment is taken and within the three month "free" period (as far as I can see) you won't be charged.

    Got round to visiting the Winslow Homer exhibition at the National Gallery today. Bit of a shock how busy London was as I don't normally visit during the Christmas holidays. Anyway, well worth visiting if you are in London. Ends on 8th January. https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/exhibitions/winslow-homer-force-of-nature There is also a Lucian Freud exhibition taking place at the NG which ends on 22nd January.

    As a Friend I haven't had to pay anything (thus far) but I have to agree with you its been rather disappointing to date. I was hoping to see things that haven't been already available on DVD etc. Still no sign of the Ashton triple as I mentioned on the ROH's IG account when they were reviewing the past year (lots of likes for the comment but no response from ROH!)

    Presumably that's why companies use extracts from previous professional filming for cinema screenings/recordings etc in their advertising. They have no need to rely on filming from the audience.

    It is disturbing and distracting to others in the audience and quite possibly to those on stage as well - hence the ban.

    A very Merry Christmas to the Mods and all other members and wishing you all a very happy New Year. This site has provided sanity, interest and happiness in a very uncertain year. 🥰

    I see from photos that James Hay was also presented with flowers last night which is very sweet - he certainly seemed very chuffed.
  17. MJW
    Thanks - I shan’t continue look for any last minute tickets for tonight!

    Perhaps next year instead of the Royal Ballet's Pointe Shoes Appeal it should be Gary Avis' Glitter Fund? 😅 I remember on one occasion previously he had "extras"

    From the ROH: "The performance at 12.30pm Christmas Eve, 24 December 2022 has been cancelled due to last-minute changes to train timetables announced today which negatively impacts the availability of staff. Ticket buyers have been contacted."
  21. MJW
    I know ! I hope they aren't waiting until the three months free subscription for Friends expires before adding it in the hope that people then subscribe for access? Is that too cynical for Christmas?
  22. MJW
    Perhaps a complaint to ROH is required if staff aren't doing their jobs properly. There is little point in having a policy forbidding filming or the taking of photos during a performance and asking everyone to switch off their mobiles etc if it isn't enforced. It is clearly difficult if perhaps someone is sitting in the middle of the Stalls but perhaps a quiet word during an interval and a further announcement regarding filming etc at the start of the next act? Thankfully (touch wood) I've rarely seen anything too flagrant - I did have to ask someone to switch off their 'phone for a Nutcracker some years ago.

    The next one is in April - https://www.roh.org.uk/tickets-and-events/the-royal-ballet-class-on-stage-dates
  24. MJW
    Unfortunately not. They did film a special class on stage for Friends during Covid but I think that was because one with an audience had to be cancelled.

    Glad you enjoyed - I think that was possibly the third time I have seen the Royal Ballet in class and it is always fascinating. Going again April. Its always interesting how many dancers I can identify but as most of them are in the corps its a bit harder. Glad I managed to get there despite the train strikes - it just took longer than usual. I was in B31 by the way at the end of your row!
