I just watched it on iplayer thanks to the tip off from here. Elite Syncopation looked fabulous and loved the few words from Marianella and Vadim, especially when she referred to him as her 'work husband' on account of them being in the same bubble.

You did well to copy this, bridiem. Thank you.

I downloaded the programme online but the pdf was of too great a size to be supported by WORD and I couldn't therefore print it out. A straight print-off produced an illegibly small version.

Why couldn't they put up something more user-friendly?

 

Anyway - some lovely treats in store later!

I've just received details of booking for the two programmes including Elite Syncopations and Within the Golden Hour but can't understand why a start time of 9.30 pm is necessary. Any ideas?

 

The spacing could have been a little better though.....

 

Wednesday November 4 7pm – 9.30pm

And the BBC News item is now as a clip on bbc.co.uk/news, and when I looked it was listed as one of the most watched. There was more in it than I saw on the 6pm News

 

I like Muntagirov's comment about there being so many rules he was forgetting the steps.

Oops, bit of a mess!  Copy and paste into Word, change font size to 10 and line spacing to 1 produces a reasonable document.  Can't give the URL, but it's on the main webpage for the stream.

I was pleased to see so many performances - stupidly I had got the impression they were just performing one each of of A and B!

So had I, so you're not alone!  It was leading me to panic about booking other things, like ENB @ Sadler's Wells and a G&S concert at The Pleasance, and having booked for The Show Must Go On - Live at the Palace Theatre, so I'm very relieved now.

Has anyone heard if the Nov performances will be streamed? I looked back at the original announcement and it doesn't mention it. I'm still looking at 14 days of quarrentine so coming over isn't in the cards at the moment.

I can’t see it. Maybe it’s gone now. What is the exact link, please?

Is anyone having trouble viewing this livestream it’s not working on iPad or phone at the moment. I accessed via the confirmation email to “start watching” but nothing is happening 😢

try going to the events page, click on "buy now" (you won't buy it again) & see if that works.

 

The stream itself seems to be OK

Unfortunately I can’t get the stream to work via my Firestick (it has worked previously) so I have plugged my pc into my tv and am watching that way! Lots of complaints on the ROH website

I won't rehearse the trouble I've gone to to see this show - but all has failed and I can see that I'm far from alone in this.  Frankly, it's a technical disgrace that the ROH has become embroiled with and there is no chance of my buying any further tickets until a new system is created.

Thanks oncnp I have just tried that and it eventually takes me to the same place with watch now and I get the same message video can’t download or has timed out!!

Well I think I will time out with this now as that’s 35 mins trying to access 😱 

I hope others having better luck. 
I had no probs with Dances but that wasn’t really a livestream 

Disappointing not seeing it actually live but as long as it will work so can see it afterwards I will be okay ...if not.... a refund might be owing methinks.

But it was the same system - I may be the only one but it is working perfectly for me (Chromecast to TV from laptop)

Don't blame you! The ROH has clearly got a problem on their hands. 😡

We are a totally Apple house and Dances worked on Safari okay. 
I suppose I thought Dances might be different because it was already a video has already happened so maybe when it’s actually being streamed live it might make a difference? Probably just revealing my technological ignorance here 🙄
