San Perregrino

I know Francesca Hayward did

Could the mods change the title so it isn’t date specific please?

My apologies I’m already in Tuesday even though it’s still only Monday. I’ve edited my last post

Comparable how? Different companies, different cities, different business models, different business constraints…. The price of hotel rooms in London won’t be affected by Paris, Munich and the Met announcing their seasons ahead of the ROH. Easter is early this year, the ROH looks set to announce 2 weeks later than last year. Even though I want to plan ahead, I can live with that. NB. It would be nice to be proved wrong but I suspect that as soon as the season is announced major disappointment will be expressed about what isn’t being presented and that there will be demands for casting details to be known the day before yesterday. It happens every time. Not worth coming down, IMHO, on the ROH like a ton of bricks though.

I understand that some ballet fans need to plan early. I like to do so myself. However coming down on the ROH like a ton of bricks because it doesn’t announce until the end of April, a little later than some other companies, seems both unnecessary and unwarranted to me. Hotel prices advertised months in advance can be priced at a premium as well as a discount. The hotel I booked six months ago in Birmingham for next week has actually come down in price and I have been able cancel and rebook at a lower rate. So, the early bird doesn’t always get the worm. To correct what I said in my previous post, Summer booking for the general public only opens the day after tomorrow. The emphasis needs to be on selling the remaining seats for this the season to a general public which is increasingly choosing not to book months in advance as the current 2023/2024 season has shown. (BRB’s La Fille Mal Gardée has been on sale to Sadlers Friends and is now onsale to the general public. A quick look shows that, despite much anxiety on BCF, actual sales including today are minimal.) In the same vein, I don’t think announcing Cinderella on April 1st or April 30th will have any impact on sales vis à vis other companies’ Nutcrackers.

I think that’s why this message comes up now after one clicks on ‘Buy Seats’: “ Please sign in before choosing your seats in order to access prices available to you “ And by implication, the seats available to you. Although admittedly the wording of the message could be less obtuse to avoid continued confusion.

Not sure why it makes much difference if it’s announced before, simultaneously or after other companies? Booking only opens to the general public for the summer season tomorrow. Surely the emphasis needs to be to sell these seats before dangling a new season in front of people?

There are tickets for sale.

Until now I’ve been too anxious about how I might be received if I wore my tutu to ROH. Perhaps now I will do so knowing that someone has boldly gone before me.

Might it also have something to do with the cost and availability of a dependable black dye when the production was first staged? I’m thinking of the recent discussion of Manon’s black dress signifying expensive because black was such a costly dye.

It’s onsale too

No-one wants a free ticket for tonight?

his stage presence more than compensates.

* the older general public in this particular case. on previous occasions, there have been debuts at school’s matinees that general public has missed.

Happy to pass this ticket in to a good home rather than it being wasted. Please send me a DM with your email.

In what sense?
