Jan McNulty Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Thanks for posting Ryo!!! I can only do Buxton up north this year. Waiting for that casting with bated breath! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottsballetlover Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Thanks for posting the cast Ryo - I'll be at the Nottingham show on Friday 10 May. Looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Hi Janet and nottsballetlover, Thank you for your comments! I either go to Nottingham (North) and High Wycombe (South) or Cheltenham (South) and Buxton (North). Waiting BRB press to post the full casting for Buxton and High Wycombe... In London we have Hensel and Gretel (8-11 May) and The Great Gatsby by Northern Ballet (14-18 May). Difficult to schedule myself.... Hi Janet, I have heard that the stage of Buxton Opera House is nightmare for ballerinas. (part flat and part raked...) Must be very difficult for some of BRB ballerinas who performed Don Q last year! Best, Ryo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 It was! Buxton is a gorgeous town and the theatre is a Matcham original. The 3 couples who did Don Q there did so magnificently - all the more so when you knew about the stage. Please come to Buxton Ryo and we can meet! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Hi Janet, I may. I have not been well since May last year. So I have to be very careful about myself. I went to Buxton for BRB last year, but could not find the place to stay overnight... So I came back from Manchester by overnight coach... Beautiful opera house but difficult to get there from London... Ryo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabitha Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I am undecided about going but have just looked online and there are a lot of seats left for Nottingham Theatre Royal. Prices seem a lot cheaper than Birmingham. I don't remember seeing BRB go to Nottingham before. Is this new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottsballetlover Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I don't remember seeing BRB go to Nottingham before. Is this new? Hi Tabitha. I know BRB have been doing the split tour for 10 years but as a Nottingham resident for that period, this is the first time I've known them come here. I could be wrong! But whatever the case, I'm very pleased Nottingham is included this year! It's a nice intimate theatre to see ballet in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonik1965 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 am going on friday maybe we can meet up & have a drink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I think it's the first time BRB has been to Nottingham. I know that the company seems to have settled on Durham and York as regulars but they seem to have struggled to find other venues that suit up north-ish. Mind you, as some critics seem to think that the north starts on the north side of Oxford Street I suppose High Wycombe is up north! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottsballetlover Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 am going on friday maybe we can meet up & have a drink Hi Sonik. Which section are you sitting in? I'll be in the stalls as I'm taking an elderly friend who can't get up to the circles (no lift!). Happy to meet up over a drink before show or in interval. I'm not sure yet if there will be one interval or 2 - the Theatre Royal website is still saying 'running time tbc'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nottsballetlover Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hi sonik. Friday evening I'm going to be with 2 companions in J1,2,3, stalls right. I'll be in a pink jacket! Where are you sitting? I'll look out for you and wave and we could have a drink in the interval and say hello. You can send me a private message if you prefer. For anyone reading this living within travelling distance of Nottingham, there are still lots of tickets left, particularly for the show on Saturday 11 April in the evening. I'm utterly delighted that BRB are coming to Nottingham for the first time and very much looking forward to seeing the company and their dancers - because I don't drive, it tends to be easier (and bizarrely cheaper.....!) for me to get to London/ROH than travel to Birmingham to see them.

nottsballetlover Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 This evening full cast list and timings now up here: http://www.brb.org.uk/castsheets.html 2 intervals. Very interesting mixed programme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
