As this is now tonight and it would be a terrible shame for it to go to waste... open to any offer at all.

Still available so discounting further - any taker at £50? Stalls row E. PM if interested.

Due to sickness I am unlikely to be able to attend. Nice seat in the top banding area with face value of £95. Electronic ticket. Happy to provide full detail in PM and would like to let it go for say £70 or nearish offer.

And gone.

Gutted to be letting this go but such is life, I can no longer attend. One ticket. Free to the first to PM.

I won't say too much beyond how much I enjoyed this piece. I was at Friday's preview, in the stalls. As suggested by @oncnp, I suspect that there was a short section when both performers may have been out of sight to the first one or two rows given the stage height. Thought the performances, choreography, lighting, music and sound (from where I was sitting the words were largely clear - no small feat given the motion) all superb. I'd read the play beforehand and the interpretation felt sublime. I thought it involved a number of risky decisions throughout - in other hands it might have gone terribly wrong but, for me at least, it went superbly right. It's brave, with brave, brave performances. Quirky, sure. Emotionally engaging throughout. Without saying too much, as others haven't, there was a big surprising moment towards the end that brought more joy than I've felt in a long while. Hugely impressed and would love the opportunity to see it again, though as a distant out-of-towner it won't be this week. It did strike me as a production that could be transferred to other small venues and toured, if the will was there. I certainly hope it gets a life beyond this coming week. It deserves it. Now to watch the Insight which I'd neglected to notice at the time it was broadcast!

Thank you for the kind welcome - I can't promise often as my visits to the ROH are limited to a handful of times a year due to distance, but am glad to have joined and hope to chime in again. My life has been considerably enriched through watching ballet and it wouldn't have happened without the relationship between the RB and Wayne McGregor. Chancing upon his work was the gateway that ultimately led to a much wider interest and ultimately getting myself to London to see the RB in as many varied works as often as I can justifiably afford!

Hello from a long-time lurker who has gratefully enjoyed and gained a lot through reading the forum in recent years, nervously breaking cover... I attended both the general rehearsal and opening night performance, watching from the amphi and stalls respectively. It is a considerable trip for me to make it to the ROH with travel and overnight stays necessary, so was a lovely opportunity for two viewings of the mixed bill. I really enjoyed Untitled, 2023. Might even say I was thrilled by it... I will provide the caveat that Wayne McGregor was actually the entrance point to my love for ballet (which has broadened into the classics after first being moved in ways I couldn't fathom by some of his choreography). I appreciate that's probably unusual and that confessing it may colour interpretations of my views, which is completely fair enough. Did Untitled make great strides in moving McGregor's work with the company somewhere new? Who am I to say, others will be much more knowledgeable; possibly not? But did it strongly bolster and enhance that body of work; for me, absolutely. Some of the reviews have used the word 'primal' and I get why. It was like strange (yet strangely familiar) lifeforms, being alive and experiencing it all. Like Dante, I felt it might have been aiming for big, subconscious, universal ideas and instincts and kind of got there. Thought the lighting, set and costumes worked superbly together, both from stalls and amphi, in different ways. The performances seemed universally strong. It's always exciting to see Melissa Hamilton in a leading role. Someone mentioned she wasn't wearing pointe shoes; I think she may have begun without but concluded with pointe work? I liked the arc and structure of the piece in the way the ensemble was used in the midst of the solos, PDDs etc. I've read with great interest the views on how McGregor works with music. Infra and Woolf Works have extremely special places in my heart, and Max Richter's music is a huge part of that, but I also have a slight sense that the music in those pieces is cannily working to unlock my gut emotional reactions and perhaps here and there comes close to overpowering the dance itself because of it. Perhaps weirdly, parts of McGregor's work I've enjoyed watching in silence, getting different responses from the choreography. With Untitled (although I did think there were sections where the dance reacted directly to the music), the more open and gradually shifting nature of the composition seemed to allow the music to almost become part of the set, part of the environment, and let the dance live within it. Much as I adore Tchaikovsky et al., I did greatly enjoy the music. Though I listened to it beforehand and had already found it to my taste. I also loved the use of silence at the end of (one of?) Fumi's solo moments. The intensity and purity that came from just her, and us, together in silence. Similarly at the conclusion of the piece as well. Corybantic Games was a pleasure, the three simultaneous PDDs in the middle being particularly moving. I liked the changes made to the male costumes and somehow, perhaps through repeat viewing of the old recording, the straps largely faded into the background. These were my first viewings in person and I would relish seeing it again. Anastasia; Laura Morera as superb as expected, and I was more immersed and invested in the piece than I had expected to be. Can't wait for Manon next year. All round - a top drawer and thrilling bill that I'm still reflecting on and trying to stop the memories from fading. Hope to have the opportunity to experience Untitled, 2023 again at some stage either through revival or (here's hoping, along with last year's Ashton triple and DGV) streaming...
