Don't all ROH performances finish by 10.30 lest they run into overtime for the orchestra? Or am I wrong about that?

I bought some last year but had to go online.

There have been two: Herald Scotland on Saturday and Sunday Times on Sunday.
Looks interesting (and has Jonathan Goddard) but why only two shows in London next June?

I used to have a high esteem for Luke Jennings as a ballet critic and used to enjoy reading his reviews but not any longer. I just roll my eyes now whenever I read a review of his and after this one I frankly will not bother reading his reviews.
He has just announced his retirement from the Observer at the end of the month..

For anyone who hasn't picked this up from today's links there is a very enjoyable collection of 10 very short films made by Justin Peck, featuring "the best actors of 2018" rather than dancers. It's in the New York Times Magazine.
I'll say no more, but have a look.
