    What a lovely idea, Linda. May I have the Life at the Royal Ballet School in return for a donation to charity?

    I'm not going as I have better things to do and because I have no desire to see Polunin perform.

    If they do, it’s not public knowledge and cannot be posted here.

    That’s an interesting estimate, and that you say you’re estimating low. Take-up of tickets is so slow that the grand circle is closed, so that reduces the capacity of the theatre to 1,640. Six shows means a possible capacity of 9,840. The first night is quite well sold in the stalls (but not so well in the royal circle). The other shows are, give or take, about half sold. So I’d say he’ll be lucky to have about five to six thousand tickets sold when the shows go on (ripe for tickets at TKTS!).

    Well, what Sergei says in the article about love doesn’t really reconcile with his posts on social media! This looks like a publicity stunt for his upcoming show.

    A few pictures from the Osipova/Hallberg, Stix-Brunell/Hirano and Hayward/Corrales casts on my Instagram.

    As I'm not Kevin O'Hare I can't be certain, but I took this to mean that the principal roles in the named ballets (i.e. Odette/Odille and Siegfried and Aurora and Prince Whateveryouwanttocallhim) will be danced by people who have not previous danced those roles with the company.

    But the orchestra for R&J is huge and the noise-level tests are undertaken on a weekly-average basis so I don't think you can really draw that conclusion.

    Fonteyn was on a UK stamp in 1996, as part of a series celebrating women of achievement in the 20th century.

    The Doncaster event will include a significant outreach project that should involve every school in Doncaster. And, the best news of the evening, the Chance to Dance project is being expanded nationally, and will include a continuing project in Doncaster.

    Some info from tonight’s Patrons’ & Premium Friends’ Season Preview. The Heritage programme in the Linbury will be RB & BRB and hopefully one more company. It will include 2 Ashton pieces, one of which will be Dante Sonata (BRB). Ed Watson is scheduled to dance in the bit of The Dante Project that is being performed in LA in July. Preludes will have new costumes and lighting, will be just piano rather than full orchestra and may not be all 24 (hence the name change). The new Marston is at least one hour in length. Barenboim wants to be played by someone pretty! The new Scarlett will be “joyous”. There will be new principal castings in Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty. No news on the TBC in the final mixed bill.

    It's so that they have more rest time at a weekend. The matinée usually starts early when it is the only show they are doing that day; on double show days the matinée usually starts later.

    It's for the benefit of the dancers.

    It’s on the same sheet of paper as the cover letter (i.e. the back of the address sheet).

    On the topic of package booking, this is the period 1 summary sent to friends.

    Sometimes dancers are unable to dance because they are ill.

    Follow the link I posted. Scroll down to the casting sections and click on “casting for all dates”; if you’re on a phone you may just have to use the drop down menu under “meet the principal casts”.

    In which case, he'll probably get a bollocking and we'll all move on. But, when it boils down to it, that's nothing to do with us and the world will go on turning.

    or the inclination...

    Ditto. I already have a ticket and will be going so I don't really care about knowing in advance who or what it is going to be.
