    She was lovely but I still haven’t changed my opinion of the piece on a second viewing. Speaking of lovely, Yasmine Naghdi and Tristan Dyer sure were as the third couple in Golden Hour.

    A long shot I know, but if anyone has one or two cheapish tickets for this performance that they can’t use I would love to be the person to buy them from you! Thanks in anticipation, Sim

    Frank, I don't see how you can say you lack aesthetic sensibility when you write so beautifully about Golden Hour! You simply didn't like the other two, that's all. For just about every performance discussed on this forum, there are widely varying opinions of every aspect of the production. That's what makes it so interesting! Nothing is set in stone with art; it affects us in some way, and how boring it would be if that way were the same across the spectrum of those who engage with it.

    Posting something on Instagram takes about 15 seconds. Trying to navigate the ROH website takes much longer than that.

    Knowing dancers as I do, I am sure he does not have the time to trawl around the ROH's current website looking for cast changes.

    I am sure he wasn't being insensitive; he probably just assumed that, 24 hours before the show, the official announcement had been made. It seems that we are finding out more and more about casting from the dancers themselves than from the ROH. Thank goodness for it, I say. At least they are enthusiastic and care about getting the info out there to their fans and audience.

    I am pleased to hear that the RAD is honouring Margot Fonteyn in this way.

    Thanks for another lovely review, Mandy. Great to hear about Rambert. 👏

    Thanks Bluebird. That’s the last time I saw it.

    Lovely review, Jan. I did my extended essay for my IB on The Great Gatsby so I would love to see it!

    I can’t remember the last time I saw them do it! I do hope they update the production...

    Beautifully put, Cavycapers, and I fully agree!
  13. Sim
    Ticket now gone. Thanks.
  14. Sim
    Yes, and last night. It really is worth trying to get a ticket for the 25th if you can. x

    Due to being married to a Scouser I have decided to sacrifice my ticket so that I can watch the Champions League final with him! The things we do for love.....luckily I have tickets to their other shows! This one is amphi left, D37. Very, very slightly restricted view but a great one. £21. This is a 'proper' ticket so I can either post it out upon receipt of e-transfer or will be at the House a few times before June 1st so could do an exchange. Please PM me if interested. Thanks, Sim

    FionaE, I really don't appreciate your patronising suggestion that we have been 'taken in' by the British press. Polunin has largely been the architect of his own reputation post-RB. Don't forget about social media.....his rants against gay men and overweight people were written by him, not the British press. Believe me, a lot more people read about him on Instagram and other social media than they do in the press. As Penelope says, he has had a largely positive portrayal here, except when he presents poor ballets, at which point the press will say so. To suggest that Polunin has acquired a negative reputation because of inaccurate representation in the British press is manifestly untrue.

    I think she was Swanilda....

    I completely agree with John and Anna. How rare to see an R&J where all five lead males are on a par with each other technically, passionately and dramatically. Add into the mix a totally believable Juliet who sizzles with her Romeo and it made for a very special night indeed.

    You will all be pleased to know that Cesar has cut his hair! More importantly, what an incredible Act 1 he and Francesca Hayward have just delivered. I am already drained!

    So sorry to hear this, balletyas. Feel better very soon.
  21. Sim
    Many thanks, Richard.

    Do they release a simple list of all the productions coming up for the new season, or do we have to look at it month by month??
  23. Sim
    So would I.....those are two ballets I could happily see every year. I am also very surprised that we get less than two hours' worth of Ashton ballets the whole season. His ballets always sell well, so I wonder why their Founder Choreographer is being ignored? I mean, much as I love Manon, we have only just had it. Why put it on again so soon when it didn't even sell that well last time around?? Why couldn't we at least get Rhapsody or Symphonic Variations as part of a triple bill???
  24. Sim
    You are most welcome to them Dave! 😃

    I can’t believe they are reviving the dire Live Fire Excercise. As it’s with Corybantic Games, unless the tbc is something amazing I will be saving money on this bill! Very happy about many of the other ones.
