Hello DreamTheater!

On our forum homepage, under the Performance forum, you'll see a little sub-forum called Proms 2011. This is the link, to save you time. These are all the crumbs we've managed to glean so far.

The full programme is being announced next Thursday, April 14. I assume it will be on the updated Proms 2011 site, but the BBC is still working off the old 2010 at the moment, which is here.

[Btw, I'll upgrade the Proms to its own forum once things get started]

Ha! Pipped at the post again

I usually find, in the case of RAH proms which have apparently "sold out" that a whole load of seats miraculously become available around the middle of June, particularly in the stalls and boxes. I assume these are mostly members' returns. I had no trouble getting stalls seats last year for Mahler 8 and also one of the Berliner proms, long after they had been advertised as fully booked.

7. Prom 38: Film Music Prom
8. Prom 40: Comedy Prom

aka the weekend I noted in my Proms season plan as "Weekend Most Likely for a Quick Continental Trip" :)

addition to "no seats available" Proms list

From the RAH's website, the Proms Chamber Music 3 concert with Les Talens Lyriques on August 1 can be added to the "This event has no seats available" list of advance-sold Proms.
