    Thanks BBB. It was interesting to hear his comments about dancing MacMillan.
  2. Sim
    Today we had Deborah MacMillan, Viviana, Ricardo Cervera, Megan Grace Hinkis, Cassa Pancho, Mayumi Hotta and a young male dancer from Ballet Black whose name I am afraid I can't remember.

    Sounds like the full pack to me, Petunia!

    Ian, this WAS the entire Laiderette!

    And as I advertised a couple of days ago, I also have a matinee ticket for sale. However, it's going back to the BO tonight.

    I am going to the live stream tonight. Maybe the lighting will be better. We don't get the talk afterwards, apparently.

    And we'd better forget The Taming of the Shrew altogether...! The word 'misogynistic' keeps being used in regard to Manon, but let's face it, the men don't exactly come off well in this ballet either (with the exception of Des Grieux, of course). They are either evil, or silly pathetic fops, or thieving beggars. The story is simply presenting the low life at all levels of society. It helps to make us understand why there was a revolution in France 57 years after the book was written.

    It doesn't appear that the poor staff at the box office have been given any concrete information whatsoever, about this performance (judging by the variety of answers we are all getting when we phone up), about who is actually dancing on the night, about why the whole ticket debacle happened.....I feel very sorry for them because they are the ones who have to deal with angry members of the public. This seems to be a bit of a PR disaster; how hard can it be to just disseminate the facts to those who are public-facing?? This lack of knowledge isn't fair to the public, the dancers or the box office staff.

    Bumping this up as it's for tonight.....

    Thanks, Mimi'sMom! Looks very interesting.

    Curioser and curioser....unless the BO is misinformed?
  12. Sim
    Apparently not....I asked the BO this morning and they said that it had been open to the public like all the others, but that it's sold out so maybe that's why it's not showing. They are all sold out, however!!

    The show on the 19th (begins at 7.45pm) is going to be live streamed here: http://youtube.com/royaloperahouse Then available for a further 30 days.

    Loved it!

    Nunez's Gamzatti almost made me feel sorry for her!
  17. Sim
    I do....!

    Yasmine Naghdi will be replacing Frankie Hayward in Laiderette on the 19th. Great news!
  20. Sim
    Very doubtful. I can't think of when they ever have....but that doesn't mean they haven't!!
  21. Sim
    We don't need them, but as I said elsewhere it's nice to have the occasional guest as a special treat....like Shklyarov last night!
  22. Sim
    Penelope, I think you're referring to Marcelino Sambe (Lescaut)? Luca Accri was the Beggar Chief.
  23. Sim
    Omg I am stunned after tonight's Manon. I can't imagine a more passionate performance of this for a very long time to come. Wow. More tomorrow when I have recovered.
  24. Sim
    Well hopefully by the time he sees the real thing he will have forgotten the minutiae of the version he saw!! Definitely worth taking him to. If he goes, do let me know if he likes it!

    Paquita, Raymonda....
