  9. Sorry people, it was a regular photocall yesterday not the phone jobs but my trusty Nikon. But thanks for the comments. I don't think the upper circle was closed as I was booked there for the evening performance but managed to get an "upgrade" in the back of the stalls. Interesting that the lighting was better in the evening than the photocall. the young lady next to me remarked that they were a bit under rehearsed? My wife and friend enjoyed it. ( Both Ballet Rambert trained). I am sure it will be fine for the rest of the week. There seem to be some good value tickets for the rest of the run.

  19. I am very sad to see the negative comments by people who have not seen this production. As was mentioned the Coliseum was over 80% full last night and the reception was enthusiastic. My wife and I enjoyed it very much. It is great fun with lots of nice touches. Go and judge for yourselves and if you get a good price ticket it will be a bonus. My pictures will follow soon I just had to stop the negative build up.

  22. It was a great shame that we could only photograph a 35 second segment, which must make it the shortest photocall ever. And dark. Here is one of my pictures. More pictures on www.johnrossballetgallery.co.uk
  23. Thank you Judith Alymer for your suggestion, I have e mailed the UofS archive. Fingers crossed.
