Disclaimer
Until August 2025 I was an employee of the Royal Ballet and Opera. There are no reviews of The Royal Ballet up to this date because of this. Please note this role did not and does not influence any opinions of the company and their performances. My opinions are completely separate and do not reflect those of the company.
While I continue to work in the Arts in my day-to-day job, I no longer work in the dance sector.
Press tickets
I am incredibly lucky to be given the opportunity to see many dance shows for free in order to review them for Like Nobody’s Watching. I always disclaim when this is the case across Instagram and this website using the following terminology:
Press ticket: Ticket was obtained by me reaching out to the company’s PR team to ask to attend the show.
Press invite: I was invited to attend the show by the performing company.
I split this out like this because, while these ways of obtaining a ticket would never influence my review (I am always honest, as I understand the responsibility of recommending a show people may go on to pay actual money to see), I want to be fully transparent about how these tickets were obtained.
