  1. The casting for both triple bills in booking period 4 has been removed from the website. All a bit bizarre.
  2. Czech and Russian are very different languages! The Czech names have accents which help determine the stress (IIRC).
  3. "ova" is the feminine of "ov" - Putrov & Putrova, Sukov and Sukova (also, on the tennis front, Safin & Safina).
  4. The general rule for Russian names is that the emphasis goes on the third syllable from the end so it would be O seep ov a. Some people Westernise the pronunciation of their names though.
  5. I was rather shocked by the mouse's lack of musicality...
  6. you fee chow (as is show) eh (like the letter a) example
  7. Just to mention that ROH tweeted this morning that non-wheelchair access tickets will be bookable online from Autumn 2014 booking period. About bloomin' time!
  8. Please go ahead and bring the thread back to its proper course with your thoughts on the technical issues. I don't think we need another thread!
  9. I have booked. Have also booked for Ballet Central's Linbury show which was recommended (with a dead link) from the HET page on ROH website.
  10. Yet, highest circulation ever and a 5% increase does not suggest to me they are "struggling".
  11. Here's a recent review by Crisp: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/cd669c60-4ddd-11e3-b15d-00144feabdc0.html#axzz2qBGf7IDV I'd be grateful if his detractors could point to the pomposity.
  12. Interesting you say that. Here's a press statement about the FT's trading report from 30 October 2013: "It reports that the FT, across print and online, has achieved its highest circulation in its 125-year history at nearly 629,000, which is up 5% year on year."
  13. I don't see what's rude about that. The RB has just finished a short, sold-out run. If those who don't want to see Jewels didn't buy tickets, that would leave more for those who do. We all like and dislike different things, but suggesting something should be danced less frequently seems ludicrous to me.
  14. If you click on the date you'll see that McRae is scheduled to dance The Dream and the new Marriott on the first night.
  15. Shameful. I'd much rather see Cervera dancing this most-Ashtonian of roles than Matt Golding.
  16. Exactly. That's one of the reasons I really disliked Smirnova's Diamonds in the summer.
