Really? Was enough to put me off and wait for a full revival.

I fell that describling Charles Rice as an "internationally renowned opera star" is pushing it more than a bit. If he was one I would have expected to be familiar with his name, but it didn't ring any bells. Having looked him up I see that I did in fact see him in the ROH's last Les Contes D'Hoffmann revival in 2016, where he played Hermann, a character who gets, if I recall correctly, a handful of lines in the prologue. Surely an "internationally renowned opera star" would be more, for instance, Vittorio Grigolo, who played the title role in the same production.
ETA To forestall any comments, I'm not criticising Charles Rice for not being a big star, I'm criticising whoever's doing the publicity for their hyperbole.

I’ve never been to the Palladium (shame on me I know) but would like to book for this. Inclined to book one of the “cheaper” front side stall seats. Seatplan reviews say stage is quite high so are they really worth the £45 or would I be better off further back? I usually prefer being close to the stage but I’m short so I’m torn... so anyone who’s sat in one of these seats - what are your thought? Help a poor student out

Help a poor student out The Palladium stalls feel very intimate for the size. The back isn't a bad deal if it's cheaper than the £45 side seats. |
