LinMM Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Well the details in the other part of the website are still not amended!! Also there is now a new problem!! Yesterday it still showed ( on the BBB way of seeing the casting via the calendar) that on Feb 2nd at 7pm Takada/Hay would be dancing in Two Pigeons .....now today it is showing that Nunez and Hirano are dancing that day! In fact now I can't see any dates for Takada and Hay so looks like will have to send another email. Interestingly in my reply today they said they had contacted the Ballet Company to confirm who would be dancing on the 12th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 And what on earth is "camera holds prep only"?! That is really weird: I too get different results depending on whether or not I'm signed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) Just before I go to bed and am going to have another look at casting for Feb 2nd.....which originally only had one performance at 7pm that day but earlier today suddenly has acquired two performances!! Perhaps Takada and Hay have been reinstated!! Well now only a few dates are coming out on that calendar so have no idea who is dancing on Feb2nd at 7pm as it isn't even shown any more!!! Is there a troll at work in the ROH website just trying to annoy everybody!! Edited October 22, 2018 by LinMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridiem Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Biggest question is not why these problems are happening but why the new site has gone live with them happening. I know from a PR point of view they must have wanted it to coincide with the Open Up project (though even that seems to have been unveiled slightly prematurely); but it is clearly simply not ready! And we're not talking about a little amateur group here; it's the ROH, and it's just not acceptable for them to have problems like this on their website. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a troll at work in the ROH website just trying to annoy everybody!! As I recall there have always been 2 performances for Asphodel Meadows/Two Pigeons on the 2nd Feb. Anyway, if you are signed in for booking, the details showing are: 2pm Asphodel Meadows - Kaneko Richardson Magri Corrales Maeda Dyer Two Pigeons - Choe Campbell Mendizabal Edmonds 7pm Asphodel Meadows - Nunez Hirano Morera Bracewell Hinkis Acri Two Pigeons - Takada Hay Magri Montano 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 That is great thanks Richard. Way back in July / August I'm sure there was only a 7pm performance because I had thought it was a matinee and then discovered only one performance that day at 7pm!!! Honestly anything is possible at the moment but glad if they have added a matinee for people who live miles from London etc Your above info is really helpful ...many thanks 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophoife Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Oh this makes me laugh (hollowly). Just the idea of being able to book for any sort of cast more than a week in advance seems to be anathema to The Australian Ballet (mustn't forget to capitalise that "the"!). Given that for Melbourne I have to travel 350km (220 miles) each way and for Sydney 550km (350 miles) each way, I'd really like more than a lucky dip before booking accommodation and ballet tickets, not to mention either embarking on that drive or deciding to splash out on a plane ticket! And I am far from being the only out-of-town ballet fan! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthE Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 There were definitely always 2 shows on 2nd Feb. I know because I accidentally booked for the evening and had to email them to change my tickets for the matinee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Adding insult to injury, if you print off the Winter season from the calendar, as I thought I'd do since the ROH no longer provide us with proper printed ballet casting information, you get curtailed casting I'm currently minded to take a screenshot of what it says on the production page on 31st October when I book, and then complain bitterly if the casting turns out not to be as shown and object to paying £4 to exchange tickets I wouldn't have bought if the casting had been shown correctly.

Esmeralda Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Nicol Edmonds posted yesterday a pic (he recreated a pose from Infra with William Bracewell) where he confirmed to a follower that he will dance in "Infra". Now we just need to know the other 11 dancers (plus 12 for a probably second cast). Probably we can also assume that William Bracewell will be dancing in Infra too (in Edmonds cast?), though there is no official confirmation. Nicol Edmonds account is public, so even people who are not on Instagram can see his answer in his post. Hope this is okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 It's fine if the account is public-facing I'm assuming that Ed Watson won't be fit enough to dance in this either, although I'd be delighted to be proved wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliceinwoolfland Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Just booked for the Corrales/Lamb/Muntagirov/Naghdi cast of the winter triple bill. Very excited, especially as I didn't get Nutcracker tickets this year. It was also a bit of a novelty to be able to pick up tickets on the 2nd row of orchestra stalls for just over £50 each! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinMM Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Well at least your link does work for casting Bluebird!! Unfortunately now when I go to the website to Winter programme then calendar of events etc which was a couple of weeks ago bringing up all the ballets and casting for the winter season now just has a few dates selected so no longer has all the days there. Am hoping for the same cast as you by the way Aliceinwoolfland when booking opens on Wednesday!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
