    my thoughts exactly!

    Well, I'm going with an open mind about the new piece and am booked for three shows (including the first and last nights); I was booked for four but something else came up that means I'll now be in a different part of the ROH that evening!

    It is nice. It's also a response to your posts that come across as extremely patronising.

    I am quite aware of the composer's output, having heard quite a bit of it already in various concerts.

    Just to be clear (in case of confusion), the two Ashton works named share their titles with the music used. I often go into seeing McGregor pieces for the first time with a lot of optimism (which is sometimes, but not always, dashed). Not so sure this time. I really think it's time for the RB to move on from McGregor as a "regular" choreographer.

    And also a new work for Northern Ballet to be premiered in the ROH Linbury Theatre next season!

    It's not just the choreography of ballets that is subject to copyright!

    Ms Pajdak's private life is just that, private; let's leave this discussion here and stick to promotions.

    I'm going tomorrow (as is The Duke of Edinburgh, apparently)

    I've just had a look at Aida and Wozzeck as they are on at the moment. By my rough calculations, 41% of the tickets for Wozzeck (top price £160), and 36% for Aida (top price £230), are under £50.

    Perhaps they should just knock down the building and rebuild it.

    It's not age discrimination. Quoting from the Citizens' Advice Bureau website: "Businesses are allowed to offer concessions or discounts based on age - for example, cheaper access to leisure facilities for 18-25 year olds, or pensioner lunch deals." Similarly, receipt of free bus passes and winter fuel allowance on the basis of one's age is not age discrimination either!

    This ticket has been returned to the box office.

    I have SCS D26 available for tonight's performance of Sleeping Beauty. Face value is £12, please PM if interested.

    Whilst singing the National Anthem!

    Public booking is open on the OHP website. I've just gone through the whole booking process (up to payment) without being signed in and it was fine. There is no rake in rows A-C (those rows are on the ground level). The stage is elevated and I doubt the RBS will be using the apron that goes round the orchestra.

    Exactly. I wouldn't have said that Osipova's recent Cinderella performances were overly "Ashtonian" but they were incredibly entertaining nonetheless.

    To be frank, I don't think it was.

    They have been there for years!

    No, The Queen is anointed too (but that is not covered from public view).

    And talking of the RSN, some readers may be interested in this, about the anointing screen for the coronation: Screen.pdf

    That's not right. The whole cypher (including the crown) would need to change. It's an awful lot of work! The cypher on the curtains reflects the monarch at the time the curtains were installed (1997 - made under the auspices of the Royal School of Needlework). There's no need to change that because there has been a change of monarch. We don't change the post-boxes. We don't change the gates and fences around Kensington Palace.

    The curtains are not being changed at this point in time.

    I’d give it 18 months or so…
