    I'm afraid you must have forgotten the missed classes and rehearsals prior to his RB departure.

    According to Theatremonkey: "Safety bars at the ends of the aisles do not affect the view, though pedants might want to sit one seat off the aisle to avoid them, if they feel like it! The two seats nearest the safety bars have been reduced in price (and A1 taken off sale) to allow for the problem - good response, thinks the monkey."

    And me too (having just asked one of my neighbours to turn her 'phone off; she had been fiddling with it during the awakening scene and all through the orchestral prelude). It has to be said, the noise was significantly louder last night, and the 'phone use significantly up too. On the basis of my neighbours and others nearby, I would put this down to the pretty large proportion of the audience that was there to see Osipova - if she wasn't dancing, they really weren't interested. Which is a shame, as the rest of the cast were on good form and I enjoyed the evening.

    Reminds me of a Prommers' "shout" at a Proms performance of Iolanthe: "Arena to Stalls: bow, bow ye lower middle classes!" I don't think many in the stalls got it...

    I'm pretty sure FLOSS is only paraphrasing what Polunin himself has said many times.

    Just had an email from ROH to say Cuthbertson and Osipova are switching places for the 25 and 27 May performances of Strapless, so it will be: 25 May (e): Cuthbertson 27 May (m): Osipova Bit of a shame for me as I'm missing the show on 25 May as it clashes with ENB Emerging Dancer.

    How huge? Do you fill the aircraft?

    To be honest, I think that's an incredibly small set of people.

    This is definitely not something O'Sullivan has just learnt in the last two weeks.

    I think it's the overture

    It's La Traviata

    Not casting, but the new Crystal Pite finally has a name: Flight Pattern.

    I thought Forskitt's Carabosse was excellent when I saw it last week. However, after I tweeted about her "debut" she messaged me to say she had done it before (which triggered the appropriate memory...). Still, rather embarrassing for me!

    These tickets are spoken for.
  16. bangorballetboy
    That suggests there is an offer code out there somewhere.
  17. bangorballetboy
    Sorry, mailbox is full. Will sort and PM you.

    No, there were lots of seats available.

    I have two spare (e)tickets for this insight event at the ROH Clore Studio on Friday (7.30 start) - seats are E13 and 14 and face value is £17 each. Please PM if interested.

    I'm glad that this sad and frightening story has a pretty happy ending.
  21. bangorballetboy
    I can confirm from my booking earlier today that there are no (or very few) seats or standing places being held back.

    How rude and presumptive to suggest that only you know something and that the rest of us are complete ignoramuses. You might think you are better and cleverer than other posters, but I can assure you it is very much not the case.

    I checked at every SB show last week (5 shows) and the house lights were not raised for the act 3 prelude (though the curtain was lit). I too am aghast at the idea that people think it's acceptable to talk over the orchestra playing.

    Stix-Brunell (whom Sim pointed out above was scheduled to dance the Lilac Fairy tonight) is also off, due to injury.

    The Bank of England have already said (2 days ago, I think) they're not changing the polymer and the new £10 notes will be made of the same polymer.
