  1. The usual rule is that if the anthem is preceded by a drum roll or a held chord, one is expected to sing. Probably observed more in the breach these days!
  2. Don't forget it's the Lord Mayor's Show on Saturday so there will also be some disruption to the east... Of course, if you're in town for Don Q, you could also watch the parade go by (and keep an eye out for me...)!
  3. To some people… Personally, I prefer “first night cast”.
  4. unfortunately Ella wasn’t able to attend the first night due to illness but he was there last night
  5. And just to note that we will be seeing Lang’s choreography reasonably soon in London as part of the RB’s Festival of New Choreography.
  6. And here’s a picture from that evening (having now sorted out my brain fog around the difference between a Big Swan debut and a Myrthe one!)
  7. Sounds like a good excuse to share this picture from Roscoe’s excellent Lilac Fairy debut!
  8. There's no "could" about it, @Silke H is right.
  9. Which page are you looking it? The production page that I see has a picture of Sarah Lamb.
  10. It was a typo (as someone pointed out to me last night in the Linbury foyer) - it should have said "shows" (as @capybara rightly surmised).
  11. Not necessarily. Also, if dynamic pricing is to work, the ROH will need to remove the ability for patrons to return tickets (else patrons will just return tickets purchased at higher prices and instead buy tickets at the lower prices). Personally, given how far ahead we buy tickets for the ROH, I'd prefer the flexibility to return tickets.
  12. What a peculiar thing to say. I think the staff responsible for pricing and promoting the ballet shoes are an incredibly small proportion of the total ROH staff.
  13. Monica Mason was (turning) 61 when she took over as director of the RB (and, as we know, stayed in that role for 10 years).
  14. To be fair, that was probably someone from the ballet school, noting that there is a section of the standing area held back for them.
