    Well you’ll still get to see Stix-Brunell, which IMHO is no bad thing!

    I don’t think it’s factually inaccurate to say that Cinderella was created for Fonteyn. Just because she was injured during the creative process for the ballet doesn’t mean he hadn’t intended it to be for her and starring her; she was, after all, his muse.

    Juat waiting for the sun to rise over the gulf coast...

    His bio is in the programme. I fail to see how this is disrespectful.

    It was a “Royal Ballet in Rehearsal” event, rather than an insight evening.

    It's highly likely that William Walton already exists as a name in the system at the ROH, whereas Wei Wang is unlikely to do so. This looks to me like a very simple error (one that a number of us could possibly make) that was corrected quickly.

    One of my favourite pictures!

    Just to be clear, I intended no slight whatsoever on Vadim Muntagirov in my earlier post. I've seen a number of times how wonderful he is with those waiting for him at the stage door. Perhaps I should have used an emoticon in my last sentence to confirm this, but that's hindsight for you.

    I went to the ROH stage door last night as I had some photos I hoped to be autographed. Lovely chats with Bennet Gartside (who signed my Judas Tree curtain call pic) and Lara Turk and a few hellos and "lovely show" with some other dancers and stage management. But, I also had a Sylvia curtain call pic with Marianela Nuñez and Vadim Muntagirov and I was hoping they would come out sooner rather than later. About 2305, Marianela came down, still in her tights but with a dance cardigan and wonderful woolly salopettes and boots over her shoes. Even though she is still recovering from illness (which wasn't at all noticeable in her performance), she stayed for about 25 minutes. Everyone who wanted to see her, queuing as if to meet Santa Claus, got a hug, a picture and an autograph (or 2 or 4 or 5). Some children asked for advice and Marianela answered with humility and encouragement. She even took off her shoes and signed them for two young girls who were there (and went back to her room to get another for a third girl who was there). The whole experience was unforgettable and so very heart-warming; one of the true stars of our age giving so selflessly of her time and enthusiasm. Left just after 2330 (work night...) with no sign of Vadim (so I'll have to do it again another time)!

    I said the same thing when he walked into the room on Monday!

    Just to mention that the entire run is now 98.5% sold.

    But the house was open during the day before anyway so I don't think there's a significant increase there. There is, however, a bit more security, as there are more doors directly into the house.

    Catering is contracted-out, so I don't think there's a significant difference in cost by having an additional café/bar. If there is an increase in cost, it's from running the extra events, and that is surely a good thing.

    Alice was choreographed by Wheeldon.

    That's not the case. The Open Up project has been funded completely from donations for that purpose.

    European orchestras had a concert master before America even had an orchestra!

    I like swimming in the big river than runs through Paris. My friends think I’m insane.

    There's a reason why the BBBs are off to Florida...
