    I notice from my bank statement today that the ROH has been making refunds into my bank account for performances up to 15th April, I did wonder as there have been no E-mails

    I've got lots of Spanish bluebells out in both my front and back gardens, I have a few very old native bluebells too, much more delicate.

    I've received this E-mail, agree that it would have been much clearer to have said all performances for the current Season cancelled, but this is what I take it to be.

    I've just had an E-Mail from SW inviting me to re-book for Creature in November using a gift voucher from the cancelled one, which was the same price, so have done, there are very few performances. I've got a ticket for 10th June for BRB too. Have only received 1 E-mail refund from the ROH out of 5, but suppose it's time to think of cancelling all remaining tickets up to the end of June.

    Normally I can't watch these long transmissions as my broadband bill goes too high, but I got a letter from BT last week saying there is no longer a limit, and they won't reinstate it in the future, so I can really look forward to this! Also should be possible to take breaks, or watch it twice.

    Yes, I noticed how nice everyone was that I encountered on my Tesco oldies hour trip yesterday, bus drivers, the Tesco staff, even people on the other side of the road that I didn't know smiled!

    I'm don't think I've been officially told to self isolate as I haven't received a letter from the NHS to "shield" myself , suppose I'm just an ordinary 70+ able to use the supermarket special hours, managed to get some Paracetamol yesterday in Tesco, was so happy, but it has to be diluted and has a funny flavour

    I liked Gloriana, it got very good reviews and I managed to get a late ticket to see it.

    This topic has got me sorting through DVD's and I have both versions, am going to watch Act 2 of the earlier one tonight, can't remember it, but I do quite like the new Hubbe one, nothing like Napoli apart from the story but I just enjoy the different music and choreography. I agree that the camera work for the other Acts is very irritating, those constant facial expressions instead of the dancing!

    The Mother, danced by Natalia Osipova and Jonathan Goddard, will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray, no details of when, on Amazon.

    I went to Tesco's "older and vulnerable" shopping hour today, everyone well-behaved and polite, a huge help, but I kept forgetting to keep my distance Hoping that my hospital will cancel next week's appointment, also that I won't get the NHS "Shielding" letter this week.

    The only reason I can think of is that Swan Lake doesn't need Liam Scarlett to oversee it, whereas Oklahoma did and Symphonic Dances probably would, but that is being kind. The virus has probably wiped out Symphonic Dances too now, but I doubt many would have minded it being replaced, can you imagine that happening with Swan Lake.

    I was going to see Carlos at the Brighton Dome on Tuesday (it seems ages ago now, when things where normal) but the Dome has indicated some performances could be re-scheduled.

    I'm sure there was no mention of 19th April, it just said "your upcoming performance" and the bar at the end asks you to repeat any other cancellations so I did the 5 that I had up to 7th April, and got 5 single confirmations back, so yes I think you can cancel everything now, probably best to do it in stages though.

    I've just received the ROH E-mail and done 5 tickets in a row and needed a break, I saved the Internet page, it's the same as above so looks okay, I presume all performances this Season are cancelled.

    Luckily I was able to get my usual 3 month's medication last Wednesday!

    It does make me think of The Trocks in "Yes, Virginia, Another Piano Ballet"

    I watched my new Natalia Osipova Blu-Ray last night, and it started with Natalia Osipova and Cesar Corrales rehearsing La Bayadere, they looked very good together, I was glad I've just bought a cheap ticket for their Prodigal Son!
  19. Beryl H
    Dammit, I want to see Osipova and Corrales now, I've only booked for Heap/Sambe, Life Fire Exercise isn't too bad if you can ignore that video, difficult though!

    I had been anticipating the new RB Bayadere Blu-Ray and received it yesterday from Amazon, wonderful performance and good picture quality, although still darker than it looks onstage, what a fabulous cast, looking forward to the Natalia Osipova documentary which is also due now!

    The name of Liam Scarlett's new ballet that was to be performed with The Cellist, I was surprised too
  22. Beryl H
    The SW website now gives Francesco Gabriel Frola as Armand, such a shame about the slow ticket sales.

    I have just E-mailed my ticket back to the Box Office and it should go on sale shortly, if anyone is interested: Amphi S47 £25

    I can remember the night I finally 'got' her too, many years ago I wanted an extra trip to London before Christmas and got a last minute ticket for Sleeping Beauty which she danced with Thiago Soares, and was amazed by her radiance and the obvious pleasure she gave to her audience, I'll never forget how she warmed up the cold winter night!

    I had been hoping to see these variations, and the pdd for Franz and Swanhilda too I was given a cast list without having to ask by the lady lift attendant, who assured me it was going to be a fabulous night, I have spoken to her before and think she is a ballet fan.
