Is this a positive, happy sigh or a negative sigh? -
RB Nutcracker Winter 2020/21
bangorballetboy replied to Silke H's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Yes, the 500th performance of The Nutcracker by the Royal Ballet at the Royal Opera House (there is a similar statement about the relevant piece on all RB cast sheets). The Royal Ballet have performed significantly more than 500 times at the ROH - i imagine some posters on here (myself included) have been to more than 500 performances by the RB at the ROH. -

Royal Ballet - The Nutcracker, 2020
bangorballetboy replied to SPD444's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
Last time I was there we were allowed into the Floral Hall provided physical distancing was maintained. -
Some people do read the details. Some people have diaries. I also note that those who had booked tickets to see the show live have received emails setting out their options, one of which is to buy the live-stream and have the remainder of their ticket price refunded. If it is to maximise revenue, what's wrong with that? There will be different systems in use, I'm sure, but I see no problem in asking people to make a choice. After all, the cinema and a DVD cost about the same (well, they do in bits of London anyway) - one allows you to see something once, the other on demand. Not a lot of difference here. Because it is. When you "rent" a film from Amazon, why do you only have access for 7 days?

Same length as usual... -

The requirement that the building is COVID-secure remains, so the new limits are in addition to the requirement for spaced out seating. -
The Big Give 2020 (1st-8th December)
bangorballetboy replied to alison's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
Not everyone knows everything that you know. There was me thinking I was posting in a thread in the “dance news and information” section. Maybe I’ll not bother anymore. -
The Big Give 2020 (1st-8th December)
bangorballetboy replied to alison's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
Not all charities will participate in The Big Give. It works by having a major donor or donors put up an amount that is used to do the doubling. Some don’t have those type of donors available and others are just gifted the major donation anyway. -
I think it's only going to the NPG for its reopening exhibition then returning to the ROH. Am very pleased Ross has done this (I'd told my better third before the auction that's what I'd do, if I had a spare £11 million or so lying around).
