  1. I wonder whether this is a long term strategy or just a temporary move whilst the Linbury is closed for refurbishment. I'm tempted the think it's the latter but the former will allow for more tickets.
  2. What makes you think you speak for me, let alone others on this board? You certainly don't speak for me on this occasion. I suggest you stop, re-read and think before pressing "Post".
  3. The dancing was the best bit of this rather tedious (and at times very noisy) Prom. I had a great view from the front row!
  4. It's less than 30 minutes walk from King's Cross to Pineapple - think of it as a warm-up.
  5. I've just received the email and the links are just the same as yesterday's news - no pdf or helpful calendar style.
  6. Sunrise suggested "a time or day outside of office working hours"; that's not just the weekend. Not sure how that impacts my suggestion that people provide feedback to ROH.
  7. Well, they tried 8 o'clock recently and lots of people complained. You can't please all the people all the time. I suggest those who don't like 9 o'clock provide feedback to ROH - box office email address is on the website.
  8. You should able to get a ticket for that insight nearer the time. Very limited availability when I booked so I imagine there are loads of tickets held back.
  9. Wouldn't be the first time the discription of a video online contains factual inaccuracies. Don't believe everything you read on the interwebby. [Dance me to the end of love was released in 1984, in case you're interested.]
  10. ??? It's a Leonard Cohen song about the Holocaust, written more than 10 years before Kain retired. In any event, it's quite possible that Arlene didn't know that the same lyrics might have been used for another piece on the other side of the Atlantic.
  11. No new principals. http://www.roh.org.uk/news/promotions-joiners-and-leavers-at-the-royal-ballet-for-201516
  12. You can see the breakdown of costs in the financial statements (you can find them on the Charities Commission website). The cost of production, sales and operation attributed to RO was £18.9m and RB, £10.75m.
  13. The rep that RB chose to tour was the main reason we decided not to go with them as supporters.
  14. Well last night I was just finishing a conversation with someone in NYC about the mixed bill so, in my opinion and bearing in mind I was on my own, no different from continuing a conversation with my neighbour.
  15. The house lights are raised so what's the problem? It's not distracting you from a performance; chill out.
  16. No-one is saying that; people are just saying that the dancer chose the company and not the other way round as you had implied. Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing McKay dancing with the company.
  17. Let's not assume or presuppose anything. The announcement did not say "due to injury" or give any reason.
  18. The winners. Male Dancer: Watson Female dancer: Zakharova Choreographer: Wheeldon Composer: Talbot Sceneographer: MacFarlane Librettist: not awarded
