    Forgive me for having a full time job (that is much more than 9-5) and a busy social life. Sometimes I'd rather use the time prepping for, and clearing up after, a meal doing something else.

    The restaurant and bar are being merged into a flexible space so that there's more room in the bar when the restaurant is quiet and vice versa.

    Though, of course, *that* corridor is not the only exit from the amphitheatre/slips
  4. bangorballetboy
    And there are plenty of tickets available.
  5. bangorballetboy
    Ticket now spoken for.

    I'm sympathetic to people having to book without casting (and FAOD I tend to wait until BRB and ENB announce casting before booking, even though that often means I don't get the precise seat I want). I'm not sympathetic to people who fly off the handle and start throwing around unwarranted accusations. Also a bit peeved at the implicit suggestion that "followers of the Royal Ballet" only spend their money at the ROH and don't see other companies as, with almost every other regular I know, that is not the case.

    I'm slightly surprised at this reaction. A difference of a couple of hours in announcing the casting for what are essentially different productions is not really an indication of how audiences are seen (nor is there any such indication from historical actions).

    I have a spare ticket for The Royal Ballet in Rehearsal - The Nutcracker on 16 November in the ROH Clore (7.30 start). Seat is B30 and face value is £17. Please PM if interested.
  9. bangorballetboy
    It is on the one I have (twinned with BRB Nutcracker Sweeties).

    I look forward to seeing who has bought them, as they'll be sitting next to me!

    McRae is at the back about a third of the way across (from the left as we look), beside Anna Rose O'Sullivan. That's his usual spot at the barre for class. Tara Brigitte Bhavnani Lara Turk

    I also have no problem with Judas Tree before Elite. I was very pleased with NB's Gloria. A couple of little slips notwithstanding (particularly the four demi-soloists in the middle of the Laudamus te), I thought they really captured the spirit of the piece and the essence of the choreography. Also very pleased that the audience took heed of the "don't applaud until the end) announcement (save for one person in the stalls who must have woken up in a blackout and thought the piece was finished).

    The foreman hangs himself because of internal feelings of guilt, in the same way that Judas hangs himself after betraying Jesus.

    And neither was Elite Syncopations being performed at ROH.
  16. bangorballetboy
    Elite Syncopations in the Gloria bill is cast from RB, BRB and Northern and Scottish Ballets (as per the production page on the ROH website). ENB are on tour this week!
  17. bangorballetboy
    Nope

    It's fun to play "spot the Tchaikovsky tune" (and also "spot the other Stravinsky tune") in Baiser.
  19. bangorballetboy
    Yes.
  20. bangorballetboy
    The programme desks in the lobby take cards.
  21. bangorballetboy
    Yes, it's called Royal Ballet Fit. There was a piece about it (with Tara Bhavnani) during the RB's World Ballet Day braodcast.
  22. bangorballetboy
    There is one programme covering the celebration (£10). It was on sale at the insights last week.

    On that note: RBS tweet
  24. bangorballetboy
    Because booking for the season is front loaded. There were 3 full lengths in the "autumn" period that run through to the middle of January!
  25. bangorballetboy
    From the Oxford English Dictionary: brava: A term of approbation addressed to a woman: excellent! well done! No entry in the OED for "bravi". First recorded use of "bravo" is 1761 and for "brava" it's 1803.
