Sadler's Wells Theatre has just announced its autumn schedule and if anyone is thinking of planning a trip to London, could I suggest you try the week from 14th - 21st October? You can then see:

The Paris Opera Ballet in Le Parc (Sadler's Wells)
The RB's La Sylphide (with Sarah Lamb) and Les Rendezvous (ROH)
Two performances of an RB triple bill (La Fete Etrange/Pierrot Lunaire/Marguerite and Armand) including Tamara Rojo's long-awaited debut as Marguerite (ROH)
Two different programmes from the Mark Morris Dance Company, including V (Sadler's Wells)

And hardly any of them clash - usually if we get something like this, all the things you want to go to are on the same night, but not this time!

Thanks for the information. I expect to be in Europe this fall and I will save your list for when I plan the trip. Do you have any info on the RB tour to the Far East?

Renata, you can read full details of the tour at:

Jane,
Thanks so much for the link. My DD's friend is one of the RBS students who is going on the tour so we were a bit curious how it was doing.

Re the Royal's East Asian tour: 88 members, all those principals, including some pretty major guest artists. Quite an enterprise.

I decided on the week after to see the Sylphides, the mixed rep program and Birmingham Royal, which is coming to Sadlers Wells.

If anyone else has a yen to go to London, British Airways is having sale fares to London from the US that I think are as low as you'll get in shoulder season - $358 r/t NYC-LON *including* taxes. For September, that's quite something.
