Conflict of interest

I am currently an employee of the Royal Ballet and Opera in the marketing department. While this is still the case, I am unable to review or give opinions about the shows I see there or about The Royal Ballet. Through work I am able to attend rehearsals for free or obtain tickets at a discount, but otherwise, anything I see at the Royal Opera House is paid for with my own money.

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.
