Richard LH Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Does anyone know when official details of the 2018/19 Season will be announced? And, pending that, does anyone have any idea (perhaps some advanced inside knowledge) of what is likely to be included? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizbie1 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I think the announcement usually comes around the end of March/beginning of April. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I have read somewhere (somewhere official) that the season will be announced on the 20th March. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 There was recently a wish list thread of what people would like to see.... But, of course, it is a wish list. It will be interesting to see how many of those wishes are fulfilled. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sim Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Richard, we do have a thread called "RB 2018/19 Wish List", which isn't quite the same as saying for certain what the new season will bring, but it DOES have much discussion about what we would LIKE it to bring! So have a look, and do add to it if you want to. Here is the link: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 After reading BBB's stern reply to Richard's innocent question, I appreciated reading all the helpful, friendly responses from everyone else. I have always believed in that old saying it costs nothing to be polite. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always believed in that old saying it costs nothing to be polite. I also felt that there was more than a whiff of of a rebuke in the reply to Richard's question. And that the use of the word 'please' reinforced the impression of irritable displeasure. As you say, Sharon, things can be interpreted in wildly differing ways but plaudits to Richard for his very generous apology. I should have been spitting feathers had I been taken to task in that way for what seemed to me to be both an innocent and wholly understandable question. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capybara Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Apparently, there is an introductory event at the ROH tonight so it's still looking good for tomorrow - from an outsider's perspective, that is! I believe that, in previous years, the details of the upcoming season have been put in the ROH website mid-morning (ish). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Wall Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Flight Pattern, SinC, Bayadere, Two PIgeons, Month, Golden Hour, Patineurs, etc. - GREAT. New McGregor sounds interesting. Only slightly saddened that there are no acquisitions of any of the established 21st Century masterworks - and still no Peck. On balance - much to look forward to. So pleased that Flight Pattern will get a cinema broadcast. Edited March 20, 2018 by Bruce Wall 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
