John Mallinson Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I've just heard from the ROH that the Open Up stuff will be on the web sometime next week. Unclear whether on the ROH site or a separate one. There will be a link to allow people to make comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Good. Perhaps it'll be easier to follow the plans there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Thanks for the replies chaps. I don't like what you are telling me though Are there some plans up somewhere showing what the refurbishments are? Yes.

jmhopton Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Looking at the 'construction logistics' part of the plans it mentions building from 2016-17 but nothing about this year. Is it actually starting this year? Also what does it mean when it says it wants to 'glaze' the amphitheatre terrace? Does this mean it will be glassed in so you won't be able to get any air? The main purpose seems to be to cram yet more tables in for the few who can afford the expensive meals there, marginalising still more the ordinary paying public they claim they want to attract! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of it, yes. And I'll be surprised if they *don't* end up cramming in yet more tables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Q Fan Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Well I shall be glad when they put a coat check in the Amphi as all that pushing and shoving in the downstairs foyer is hideous and maybe it will encourage more amphi patrons to check in their coats instead of faffing with them in the limited seat space (annoys the hell out of me as I always check mine in). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangorballetboy Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Thought it might be useful to repeat here an update sent to FoCG. Open Up UpdateHoarding has gone up in the Front of House area to allow work to begin on the building of a staircase down to the new toilets on the lower level. This week we are opening a new cloakroom on the Amphitheatre level so please use this space if you have Amphitheatre tickets. Space will be limited so please assist us by avoiding bringing large items wherever possible. The revolving doors on Bow Street will be shut from 22 February, so please use the Covent Garden piazza entrance for access to the Box Office. The building is now unavailable for daytime events, and spaces including the Amphitheatre bar and restaurant will be closed during the day so that the complex schedule of works can be done as quickly and efficiently as possible.

alison Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Thanks, BBB. It doesn't look as though it's gone out to ordinary bookers yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
