Thanks @Bluebird and @Saodan. That's amazingly useful!

May I ask how did you find that photo of vew from Balcony B73? Are the views from all the seats available? Seems very useful. I couldn't find views from the seats on the ROH website.

Personally, I would very much like to see Mr Ella's Romeo.

For the 19th Feb matinee Mr Ellla is cast as both Benvolio and Mandolin dancer. Seems a lot to ask. https://www.roh.org.uk/events/l07x1

May I ask is that for the matinee or evening performance?

Ms Rojo as Mrs Robinson and Mr Isaac Hernandez as Benjamin?

On the subject of wigs...Looking at the "Rob S" photos above, have the Russian Dancers lost their beards? Has Mr O'Hare made an announcement? Were there technical problems?? Is the connected with the recent casting of Ms Haegee Lee in this role???

I see that in Saturday 8th Jan evening's Nutcracker, the Russian dance is danced by the soprano Haegee Lee. I suppose that staff absences are biting hard and flexibility is required. Anyone noticed other unusual castings? Is this a role debut?

Though, it needs to be remembered that in the Nutcracker, as in Petrushka, the characters are toys, puppets, dolls and not people. Colombine and Petrushka are not examples of "White Face". The Nutcracker is not referencing Chinese people in the "Chinese Dance". It was referencing Meissen porcelain nodding dolls. There are other ballets where this does not apply.

Do the sad problems at the Royal Ballet mean that dancers haven't been getting vaccinated?
