  1. it did happen. mid-December when I was in Paris for the cancelled Raymonda which is why I was gutted that I missed it
  2. Nahhdi/Ball have already danced bluebird this run. I missed it! Am told that, all being well, they will dance both tomorrow evening and the live screening next Thursday. šŸ™šŸ»
  3. The man sitting in front of me this evening had a prime seat (OS H27) and a clear view of the stage with no obstacles. However he definitely didnā€™t want to be there as he fidgeted non stop throughout and was saying goodbye to his companion and ran out the door as soon as the curtain fell. Me wonders why some people bother attending at all.
  4. Adding to the talk about high kicks, from where I was sitting I was also astounded by the height achieved by Erik Woolhouse as Birbanto. A memorable evening for so many reasons.
  5. For no particular reason I thought to check the Scottish Ballet website 2 mins into the programme which has a synopsis of the story. Without that Iā€™d have been completely lost and wondering why a character with a strong resemblance to Dora the Explorer was central to the story. No way would I have identified her as the Summer Princess.
  6. My godson has been projectile vomiting at Paddington (station not bear) so taken home again by his mother. Consequently I have 3 spare tickets to The Lost Thing this evening. If anyone cares to join me please send me a DM. My treat
  7. Hi i cant offer a swap but if youā€™re unsuccessful in finding one Iā€™d love to buy these tickets. thanks Peter
  8. I guessed right. Akane Takane as Swanhilda and William Blissful (oops Bracewell šŸ˜€) as Franz were both outstanding in CoppĆ©lia on the last day of 2019 and they get to do it all again tomorrow in 2020. Canā€™t wait....
  9. Still two performances at ROH before the end of year, both with 2 debuts so perhaps the best is yet to come.....:
  10. šŸ‘šŸ»šŸ‘šŸ»šŸ‘šŸ»šŸ‘šŸ»šŸ‘šŸ» for CĆ©sar
  11. Due to an upgrade I am selling SCS D4 for this performance. DM me if interested.
  12. Long ago I planned a lovely long weekend in Paris to see Raymonda, Le Parc and the Ballet School. I am none the wiser in respect of these performances as having negotiated a seat on a train not cancelled by Eurostar I arrived in Paris to daily messages saying my booked performances were cancelled. Cancellations are only announced on the day itself as the strikers have until a few hours before curtain up to declare themselves. The public transport strike is said to be rolling up until Christmas with a risk that performances will continue to be cancelled. Notwithstanding my disappointment re the above, Paris is brimming with things to do and wandering around is awesome at this time of year. It really is a City of Light and the French know how to do Christmas šŸŽ„šŸŽ„šŸŽ„
  13. At least for me itā€™s all change in Act 3 this evening. Looking forward to watching ā€œnew bloodā€ šŸ˜€
  14. My friendā€™s daughterā€™s school in Bromley were given tickets to the Sunday evening programme. They attended and were very positive about what they saw. I didnā€™t see this programme so cannot comment on its content but am pleased that the producers did at least outreach to the paying audiences of the future.
  15. I suspect that there are even more than 19,000 friends in 2019 which would explain why tickets to some shows are rarer than hens teeth.
