  1. There's already a thread for World Ballet Day here: http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/12984-world-ballet-day-4th-oct-2016/#entry186842 Please post your thoughts there, thanks.
  2. I've been there for dinner a few times and also for the odd concert.
  3. I have tours booked for Tower 42, Lambeth Palace and Fishmongers' Hall. Looking forward to it!
  4. FAQs just say "no exchanges", not "no returns" so it's possible the usual resale terms might apply.
  5. From an email received today from ROH: New – Friday Rush Tickets starting next weekWe are making changes to our Day Ticket scheme which will be renamed Friday Rush Tickets from the start of the 2016/17 Season. Instead of having to queue up outside the Royal Opera House to buy one single ticket for that day’s performance, you will now be able to book two tickets from the comfort of your home or place of work for a performance in the next seven days (Saturday to Friday). We hope this change will enable you to plan your week better and give you more choice and a more efficient way of securing tickets. How it will work At 1pm every Friday* a limited number of seats (formerly called Day Tickets) will be made available for each performance the following week Saturday to Friday The tickets will be available online Each customer can purchase two tickets per person per performance The tickets will be available as e-tickets The first Friday Rush ticket day will be 9 September 2016 at 1pm, then every following Friday at 1pm. Please take time to read our FAQs so you can make the most of our new feature. *When the Friday falls on a Bank Holiday an alternative date will be identified and advertised in advance.
  6. Do you think this might be because they think their outfit is the most aerodynamic design?
  7. This is wrong. Ladies have the choice of wearing shorts or a one-piece. Every player that I have heard interviewed on the subject has said they prefer the bikini style option as it's the best for playing in terms of freedom of movement, leaves fewer places for sand to get caught and (in Brazil) is usually appropriate for the temperature.
  8. I don't know why people are getting in a fuss about this. Words mean different things in different contexts. Pirouette just mean "whirl". So, yes, it has a specific meaning in balletic terms, but it also means any form of turn about the vertical axis in gymnastics. There's also a pirouette in dressage (no plié or pointe involved there!).
  9. Info on the seats in the promming areas can be found here. I note Friday's prom is currently sold out (promming tickets available on the day), unless it's the late night jazz prom you're thinking about.
  10. I have been staying incognito
  11. Good luck with that; tickets have been sold out for ages! However, there are 40 tickets per performance each week released at 1 p.m. on the Friday of the previous week: link.
  12. I'm pleased that I had the opportunity to sort out our flights after the announcement. We're flying back in just in time for Stix-Brunell's show. [sorry to rub it in]
