The ROH booking website - what can we do?
Beryl H replied to Geoff's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
I'm wary of booking seats in the front row balcony now because of this obstruction, it can ruin the view, in fact I only feel really happy booking a front row upper circle seat, one of the reasons I seldom visit the Coliseum any more. Interesting that the Coliseum can't or won't explain the reason for it! -
ROH Email supplier not operational
Beryl H replied to Henry's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
I have just booked a NBT ticket for the Linbury and received an E-mail immediately. I had a message a couple of days ago (can't remember from who) saying I was not alone on my Internet connection, or words to that effect, and I quickly shut my computer down, I wasn't using E-mails at the time, it was scary! -
Royal Ballet School matinee, 16th July, availability
Beryl H replied to alison's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
This looks like another huge problem for me, Thameslink already advise their customers not to travel as the trains will be over-crowded and hot (don't they have any air-conditioning?) but at least the 11 and 15 buses seem okay from Trafalgar Square to City Thameslink although of course they will also be very crowded. I will very likely E-mail the Box Office tomorrow before 12pm to get a refund! -
Thought I would just try Candleque's link too, and was so surprised at how easy it was and the thought of seeing Alina's Giselle again, I went slightly mad and bought an expensive Upper Circle ticket!

Royal Ballet Autumn 2022 Bookings
Beryl H replied to JohnS's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
My first session took a long time and eventually seized up, so I quickly paid for what was in the basket and started again without being able to find how to apply Gift Vouchers. Second session was better although the wrong seat view kept appearing, but I was able to get the performances I wanted and use the Vouchers (agree this aspect is less clear than before). The most booked up performance in the amphi for me was Marcelino Sambe's Mayerling 🙂 -
I hope the booking system will be better than it was for the the Ukraine Gala!

Glad to hear the system has improved for most people, is it certain that the opening nights of Mayerling and Diamond Celebration will be shown on live cinema relay? -
Memories of Covent Garden in the 20th century
Beryl H replied to Mary's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Did anyone ever see Princess Diana going in a special door near the amphi entrance? I was hanging about once waiting to go in and a man asked if I was waiting to see Diana, he explained she often used this private door and staircase on Friday ballet evenings. -
BBC's Platinum Party at the Palace concert
Beryl H replied to SheilaC's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
I liked Ed Sheeran, although his name is everywhere, I had never seen or heard him before but I was impressed. -
Memories of Covent Garden in the 20th century
Beryl H replied to Mary's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
I remember the Crush Bar and the steps up to the Balcony, I used to go there before the performance for sandwiches and coffee, it was more like a friendly cafe then. -
LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE: RB June 2022
Beryl H replied to capybara's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
I don't like going to first nights because of this, one of the reasons I was very pleased to see that the opening nights for Mayerling and the Diamonds bill will be relayed live at the cinemas this autumn! -

New ROH website - 2019 and 2022 versions
Beryl H replied to yumiko's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
I booked a ticket for LWFC yesterday on Edge and it worked quite well, I remember the seat view picture appearing when I don't think i asked for it. -
Dying Swan from Allister Madin
Beryl H replied to Sophoife's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
I thought it really worked , swans are strong birds out of water and the dancer captured this as well as beauty. -
Royal Opera House summer period booking
Beryl H replied to Bruce Wall's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
I noticed on Tuesday it was automatically the old system, and no problems, think they were taking no chances with the Friends. -
I'm very pleased at this news, I haven't had the time to watch it as much as I wanted, I do like the male Dying Swan!

Beryl H replied to a topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
I agree those ballets, plus Mayerling, are the most exciting for me too! -

Beryl H replied to charliewise's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
Thanks, I've always liked this production of La Bayadere and it's good just to get a glimpse of the new generation of POB dancers, most of whom are new to me. -
