    According to The Stage, HS will also be choreographing and using his own dancers.

    Just to be clear, ticket sales account for a significantly larger portion of the ROH's income that a quarter (36% in 2012 and 33% in 2013). The breakdown between the constituent companies within the ROH is not information in the public domain (and the ACE money is provided to the ROH not either company). With a reduction in ACE funding after that time, the proportion of funds that comes form ticket sales will need to outstrip the ACE funding by a larger proportion. The points Floss makes remain valid but it's useful to have accurate figures.

    I do (and rather randomly was thinking of just that yesterday evening while she was side-swanning)!

    Due to injury

    Good oh! As a suggestion, though, probably best not to refer to the law as "new" as it's almost two years old and has been in effect for 10 months.

    Which is why ROH will refund if asked (the requirement of the regulations). I disagree with the pre-selected option too, but I'm pretty sure giving a lecture on the law to ROH isn't the way to get them to change the practice.

    Thanks Bluebird. As they were run by different companies, what is now Charing Cross tube station was originally two (as you know). Seeing your message made me get out my wonderful book on the names of London's tube stations. So here we go: Charing Cross (Northern): Charing Cross (1907), Charing Cross (Strand) (1914), Strand (1915) Charing Cross (Bakerloo): Trafalgar Square (1906). Both closed in 1973 for rebuilding, reopened as a combined station (with the Jubilee Line) called Charing Cross in 1979. Embankment (District): Charing Cross (1870) Embankment (Bakerloo): Embankment (1906), combined with Northern in 1914 and named Charing Cross (Embankment), then Charing Cross (1915). Combined station renamed Charing Cross Embankment in 1974, then Embankment in 1976!

    Anorak alert. The name changed from Strand to Aldwych in 1915 (at which time what is now the Northern Line section of Charing Cross became Charing Cross (Strand)).

    The posts were 3 minutes apart. Don't you think it's possible that I didn't see your post because I was in the process of typing my own?

    Really not sure what the economy or election has to do with this thread. Please leave the policital remarks off this board, save where they are specifically relevant to dance/ballet.

    Energy equals mass times the speed of light raised to the power of tutu.

    On the subject I shall write you a most valuable letter, Full of excellent suggestions when I feel a little better, But at present I'm afraid I am as mad as any hatter, So I'll keep 'em to myself, for my opinion doesn't matter! [thanks W.S. Gilbert for such a wonderful lyric]

    Friends of The Royal Ballet School have a priority ballot for tickets (max 2 tickets for main stage and 2 tickets in total for Linbury).
  16. bangorballetboy
    Don't people want to watch the dancing rather than look at a surtitle screen?
  17. bangorballetboy
    It's really easy to find the translated lyrics on the interwebby. Google is your friend, people.
  18. bangorballetboy
    That's my understanding too.

    And yet it's now Tuesday with no update and Ellen West tweeted on Sunday that it's still TBA.
  23. bangorballetboy
    Not entirely sure that the cameraman would know the definite position.
  24. bangorballetboy
    A press release of 26 February states that, as well as Ferri, casting includes Lamb, Nuñez, Osipova, Bonelli, McRae and Watson.

    I think Bintley's got a major problem if he's struggling to attract his core audience.
