I have just remembered that I intended to post this - Proms that I am intending to go to this summer:

Thu 21 Aug
Tue 26 Aug
Mon 1 Sep (the lunchtime one)
Tue 2 Sep (late night)
Thu 4 Sep (maybe - not sure)
Sun 7 Sep (afternoon)
Mon 8 Sep
Thu 11 Sep

Pete & [livejournal.com profile] shadow_jess are coming to quite a few of these, & I think [livejournal.com profile] kitty_goth is as well. We'll be queuing for the Gallery tickets, which are £4 each - you can't buy in advance but have to queue, but usually it's fairly easy to get in. The Gallery is right up the top of the RAH, & has the major advantage over the Arena that there's plenty of space to sit down, & it's not at all crowded (I think for reasons of fire safety). Allegedly the acoustics are better up there, as well, though I don't know how true that is.

Anyway - anyone who wants to come along is welcome, let me know, sort of thing.

A surfeit of concerts

Which Prom on 8 September do you have in mind?

There's Prokofiev and Shostakovich at 7pm, and Xenakis, Cage, and Wood at 10pm.

(If it's the Prokofiev/Shostakovich concert then I may well be interested in coming along, if I'm working in London that day.)

wow - £4 now huh. Well up on when I first went (50p for Arena, iirc, although I had half- then full-seasons)

Haven't been to a Prom in many years, but will think on in case - after all, easy to walk around and search for people once in.

vampwillow - one of the few people to sleep overnight *inside* the RAH during the prom season!

Definately interested; I need to check my shifts to find out which ones I can make it to though. I believe there's a full-length performance of Scheherezade in one prom which I most certainly would love to attend, as it's one of my favourite pieces.

Sheherazade

Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherazade is being performed in prom 68 (Tuesday 9 September, 7.30pm), alongside Stravinsky's Symphony in Three Movements and Petrushka
