After two years in the company in 1948, Alexander created the role of the jester in Ashton's full-length Cinderella.
Patricia LintonHOST

This is called Parsifal for the Course.

Back to the Royal Opera House for a mammoth undertaking, a Wagner opera.
speaker_0HOST
Completing the sort of research that compels writers of historical fiction to go on fact-finding missions to ancient Italian and Greek ruins, rather than looking up stuff in Wikipedia as everyone else does, I knew that the Royal Opera House would provide a booster cushion should I need one.
speaker_0HOST
The seat I chose was the second cheapest, below that price point you don't even get one, and was described as a bench seat, so I thought I'd ask the old boy at the cloakroom if he recommended a cushion.
speaker_0HOST
He looked at me with the tired eyes of someone who has presumably sat through this sort of stuff before and said, it's Wagner, whatever you do is hard on the rear.
speaker_0HOST
and I don't think the barman would fill one up with tap water.
speaker_0HOST
I was slightly shocked at having spent 75% more on refreshments than on the ticket, but one bite of the mortadello, pistachio pesto, stracciatelle and rocket focaccia roll made me realise that sometimes things that are a bit more pricey are actually worth it.
speaker_0HOST
either that or i'm too used to oldie first impressions on being at the very top of the royal opera house were very much along the lines of vertigo nevertheless i had an excellent view of the orchestra pit and of four of the screens on which the baton twirling maestro was displayed for those who believe everyone should keep to the same tempo I knew the seat had a restricted view of the stage, but the photograph on the website looked okay.

Adélie Pojzman-PontayHOST
What were and what maybe are still the conversations with your counterparts on that

Steven SeidelNARRATOR
He collected all the odds and ends of the caravan, including empty tins and bottles of medicine, even the few used Gillette blades, and bartered them with the natives for butter, milk, spices, and leather.

It was Abdullahi also who was greatly upset when I showed my film of the expedition at a lecture given before His Majesty King Fuad at the Royal Opera House in Cairo.
Steven SeidelNARRATOR
When Abdullahi found that he appeared in many of the pictures with a tattered shirt, he resented being shown to his king in such an unsuitable garment and asked if something could not be done so that he should appear in a shirt that was cleaner and less well-worn.
Steven SeidelNARRATOR
Ahmed, too, was a Nubian from Aswan, a slight, wiry fellow who never gave in.
speaker_0HOST
He was a classical maestro who became famous for his control of a lot of symphonies.

Dionysus Savopoulos passed away in 2025 at the age of 80 from a heart attack following a battle with lung cancer.
speaker_0HOST
