capybara Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Absolutely thrilled for the dancers in London at least who will be able to get back on stage. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob S Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Don’t forget the area tiers are being assessed every fortnight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Yes...don’t go too mad at Christmas folks going into Tier 3 will be miserable. We have very low cases here in Brighton and Sussex generally but we have still gone up a Tier ( we were one and now are two) as think Gov ultra cautious at moment. Still at least some theatres can still continue after a fashion and we can get back into studio for class once a week and meet a friend for an outdoor coffee lol 🥶 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 And the Govt. said it was going to tighten the conditions for the various tiers, didn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming the original ticket allocation was for more socially distanced numbers than the new limit of 1,000 which is 45%? Given the idiosyncracies of the seating at the ROH, I'm not sure whether they would actually be able to go up to 1000 anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The requirement that the building is COVID-secure remains, so the new limits are in addition to the requirement for spaced out seating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beryl H Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I managed to get a single ticket, not easy, for one of the few evening performances, the confirmation E-mail already had it down for collection from the Box Office as I had asked previously, spot on there! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanJL Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I was pleased to get a single ticket too - I deliberately went for a date I thought might be less busy for travel and in London more generally, which perhaps also means a slightly less popular choice for booking? Anyway, guarded excitement and hope that this one works out! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 So...public booking opens tomorrow and the RB has still not seen fit to release any Nut casting (unless I am missing something?). All the dancers know when they are dancing now...so why can't we? This is a poor show, especially when they are trying to get the public onside to raise money. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disagreeing with you at all but for something like the Nutcracker I'm not sure "the public" (v. ballet fans) care who is dancing. It's the spectacle they're after, especially this year. And the group tickets esp seem to have sold very well. I am curious about what the "added complications of the lockdown period" are though.

capybara Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 There is now a printed copy of the casting circulating among the dancers. Up until that appeared, those who ‘knew’ were still unsure. Let’s hope that it’s made public soon. My guess is that we shall see some interesting ‘bubble’ arrangements within the casting. I agree that it is the ‘regulars’ who want to book for specific people but a lot of those ‘regulars’ will be booking tomorrow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Well some of my friends who go once or twice a year want to make sure that they see who they want. They are not regulars but know who they like. Agree that people bringing the kiddies most probably won’t mind who is dancing. So unless casting is released early tomorrow morning we will be taking pot luck as to casting. Otherwise, very useful releasing it once all booking has finished!

alison Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 It's occurred to me that bubbling regulations, if I've understood them properly, will presumably mean that Clara and Hans-Peter will have to sit at the side during the Act II diverts rather than intrude on anyone else's bubble. Some people may find that an improvement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanJL Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Excellent news for them somewhat tantalising as I've already bought my tickets and not for either of those performances. But I guess that's the position we're in at the moment and I'm sure the two dates I booked for will have wonderful casts too 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
