This evening we had the honour of taking over the @RoyalOperaHouse feed as their first ever Twitter guests.
Early bird reviews for Wheeldon’s Alice in Wonderland are already starting to pop up (read the Indy’s here & Guardian’s here) while over here we have red carpet and backstage goodies from tonight’s gala coming up. As we work on the material we leave you with a recap of our tweet stream. After all, no doubt we are tweeting for posterity.
Make sure to check all the backstage twitpic links below and stay tuned to the live hashtag #AliceinTwitterland where you can follow all the buzz about this colourful & fun new ballet at the Royal Opera House.
More Alice in Wonderland blogging soon, we promise!

Some more gala scoops and lots of photos in our guest blog for the ROH – > http://blog.roh.org.uk/?p=2147
Thank you for the scoop – what fun it must have been!
Congratulations! An excellent job. I’m also a bit jealous – you must have had a great time. Thanks for sharing it with us. Now the problem is, when can I actually get to see the production! It will have to be next year’s revival (there will be one, I’m assuming…)
Bravi,
Gramilano
Many thanks for your comments. Watch this space re. revival… rumor is it that Alice will be back very soon indeed!
