  1. I think those who are booked for 12 April might be a bit shocked to see that! I'm glad you have tickets to hear Kaufmann in this, as he was really very special yesterday (as was TĆ©zier).
  2. The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
  3. My main tip for RG is to get to the stadium early (about 0930). The queuing/entry system can be quite confusing and the security checks are quite a way from the actual gates into the stadium. You will need your ID and sensible to take some sandwiches (a few supermarkets nearby with pretty cheap and reasonably tasty sandwiches) and as much water as you can (remembering you can't take a bottle bigger than 1.5 litres) - there are taps to refill bottles but not many and the queues for those can be very long on a hot day. If you can stay in a hotel near the stadium (Bois de Boulogne), it really makes a difference avoiding the crowds on the Metro.
  4. Kristen McNally and Nadia Mullova-Barley are also not on Instagram. Osipova's account is not fan-run, but it is a combination of herself and her PR.
  5. Because the grouping may not be all members of the corps de ballet (they may be students, higher ranking dancers, extras (supernumeraries)...)
  6. I don't think the run is likely to result in a new DVD for reasons previously mentioned elsewhere on this forum.
  7. There is no such law; they can sell tickets for whatever reduced price they want.
  8. Which is a very sensible thing to do at any theatre where there are unsold tickets on the day of the performance!
  9. Well, it depends on the context, but he also did Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty.
  10. I work for the largest law firm in the world and have not been sent on such a course...
  11. I'm going to out-pendant you, as the RB dancers do indeed refer to the front of curtain calls as the red run. I do note that the red runner is still brought in behind the curtain to allow the set to be struck whilst the calls continue, as some members of the audience can see through the held-open curtain to the stage behind.
  12. I was rather perturbed to see that, according to the "calendar", there are no events in the ROH on 11 June. The new website is a joke, just a few weeks early for April Fool's Day.
  13. As you referred to everyone else by their full names, would it really have taken so much time to type out Beatriz Stix-Brunell?
  14. Iā€™ll add my thoughts to the appropriate thread once Iā€™ve stopped enjoying the glorious weather!
  15. Thatā€™s odd - when I tried a few minutes ago it was first (and Iā€™m currently in Florida)!
  16. If you type ā€œthe ballet associationā€ into google, itā€™s the first result.
