Hi all. I have two tickets for a ballet performace here, but can now only use one. I'm going to return the other one for a credit, but does anyone know which is likely to have the better view?

Row G, Seat 67 | Amphitheatre
Row A, Seat 78 | Balcony

TIA

Your review made me so happy, OP. I remember that feeling of rapture, the collective sigh when Osipova started dancing. An actress to her fingertips. And her leaps unearthly, she seemed to float...

Have never seen an ovation go on that long either.

The only time I have experienced an amphitheatre pulsating with such love for the performer was when I saw an elderly Leonard Cohen perform, and everyone present was breathing every lyric and you could "feel the love." So it was with Nataliya. She's electric!

I am SO happy for you.

I think there were eight curtain calls! And lots of spontaneous clapping and ‘Brava!’ at the end of variations.
Myrtha rightly got a lot of love too, and the corps got some cheers after a couple of their set pieces.

@ConstanzeMozart So pleased for you.
May I ask where you got your opera glasses from?

I splurged on the ROH ones.
