Yes, the sticking point is Mr Grammer,nice man and all.Am still going to see it to tick it off the list but imagine if a Bryn Terfel or Colm Wilkinson was booming it out instead?

Oh come on it's not that bad. Kelsey has great presence and decent harmonies with the understudy for Danielle. I'm looking forward to it,

I'm looking forward to it, I hope you are not thinking Cassidy is an "understudy", AFAIK, both actresses are leads/alternates I haven't booked yet but would prefer to see Cassidy (mainly as I've seen her in other roles, nothing against Danielle). It seems the times I can easily go would be Danielle, if she were to be ill would Cassidy cover or would it be someone else do you think? |

Why are the two ladies sharing the role?

I feel like it's reasonably common in the "higher brow" art-forms to role-share, and as Danielle de Niese is an operatic soprano, it may well have been something that she wanted.

I keep seeing the poster on Facebook and going, "THAT'S MEERA SYAL! Wait..."
I only know KG for two things - Anastasia, and the sex tape fiasco.

Why are the two ladies sharing the role? Ms de Niese said something in an interview about preparing for a role at Glyndebourne, so she's gradually doing less of La Mancha as the Glyndebourne role ramps up. |

I guess that depends on whether Cassidy has other commitments on that day. I only have one chance to see the show (and it will happen only if they discount) and it won't be Cassidy who I was hoping to catch. But I've already booked so many other shows for my one week in May! |

Had the best offer so far on this show, half price for the first two evening performances and the first Wednesday matinee Reasonable but not great seats, though it was sent out 8 hours before I looked so a lot probably already sold
Tempted but I really want a central front row seat, currently £105, for half price or less so hoping for more similar deals

ENO should extend the Access All Arias scheme to productions like this
Even if it were just to purchase day tickets or something
Better to get bums on seats

I agree but I'm not sure how much is ENO and how much is the producers.
I suspect the producers are waiting for a dozen or so of 5 star* reviews and then it will be box office gold
*perhaps the band 5star would of sold better than our Kelsey?

Surely by time reviews are out it will be too late? Not necessarily it’s a 7 week run. But yes you would’ve hoped it would’ve had a better ticket adance. |

A good offer for the week following reviews would make more sense - then they can use the reviews and good or even sold out houses to sell the rest!

Its shaping up to be a horror show. The very limited run means even fantastic reviews (unlikely!) will have little effect. |

Regardless of the reviews I really don't think the show has any widespread appeal. The only thing that would have sold in IMO is a major star name e.g. Hugh Jackman.
