I watched bits of the early episodes being filmed in Hamble!

Interestingly, I've not yet received anything yet about refunds or otherwise from ROH, even for tonight's performance. Perhaps they're doing it in alphabetical order...

ROH have confirmed the booking for rehearsals will not go ahead this morning.

Postponed to May.

The ROH is already prohibiting the public entering the stage door in the usual fashion and Wigmore Hall has stopped public backstage access after concerts. Let's get this thread back to Swan Lake.

When the government advice is to do so, I imagine.

I'm now using the chorus of supercalifragilisticexpialidicious and three "um-diddle-iddle-iddle-um-diddle-ay"s (which allows for a key change)...

Done. Seconded.

Wigmore Hall has added extra hand sanitiser points!

Due to illness, Jonas Kaufmann is replaced by David Butt Philip as Florestan in tonight's performance (9 March).

Ticket spoken for

I have SCS D31 available for Swan Lake on 5 March (7 o'clock start). It's a e-ticket. Please PM if interested.

It was the same for RBS friends' booking but it's working OK now.

The important thing is that your dd is doing something she enjoys. Simple.

👍

I'm getting really fed up with people spreading misinformation on this forum. Milan is not the epicentre of the outbreak in Italy. It is in the area where government advice is to self-isolate if you show flu-like symptoms but it is not a city where infections have (as yet) been picked up; it is not one of the listed "lockdown" towns. Misinformation is dangerous.

I’d be grateful if people wouldn’t post inaccurate information on this subject. The current government advice for people returning from Northern Italy is to self isolate for two weeks if either (a) they were in one of the listed towns or (b) they show flu-like symptoms.

I have no issue with those who wish to dress up, provided they have no issue with me not doing so. However, a gentleman wearing a top hat indoors is no gentleman.

To save others having to look it up (like wot I did), this relates to Swan Lake.

thanks! I’m blaming the mountain air...

I didn’t book for Seeping Beauty so didn’t look, but didn’t receive any information separately to what’s online or in the magazine.

Booking went pretty smoothly this morning (particularly as we’re on a regional train travelling through the Italian mountains and the wifi isn’t working). As suspected, not a huge number of tickets available ATM for the Heritage bill but we got something for all the dates we wanted.

Pictures and Taxi, you may think it’s a stupid rule but as I am not willing to put my house and everything I have worked very hard to achieve on the line, the rule will stay in place. I hope you can understand.
