VickyPage Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Putting this in my calendar!! Hope the player works better than last time; taking it off YouTube was a mistake, in my opinion, so if they bring it back to livestream there, along with the helpful livechat, things should run a bit more smoothly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Oh good, we have a date. The ROH Period 1 brochure didn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate_N Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 So that's a day when I try vainly to stay at home writing, but end up entranced by the Bolshoi morning class with Maestro Akimov, watching his gorgeous long legs and beautiful musicality. I often prefer watching him teach than watching the current dancers, I'm afraid! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sim Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 It looks great, but it doesn't give any times......does anyone know what time the RB section starts? Just so I can somehow sneak some ear speakers in and put it on my second screen with the picture shrunk so that no-one notices!!! Ssshhhhh..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizbie1 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 If I'm reading it correctly it starts at 12 noon (frustratingly the timings are in PDT). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yaffa Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) I do appreciate that these are live broadcasts and subject to change... But it's a pity that we always have a last minute struggle to find out about scheduling and rebroadcasting. It would be really helpful if the organisers could undertake to put online at least a tentative schedule (and maybe a link to a time zone converter) at least a week in advance, and to give a clearer picture (and updates) about what will NOT be available in full after the live broadcast. Saying that 'highlights' will be available afterwards is not much use for folks like myself who would like to know, for example, whether we'll be able to see the entire broadcast RB class afterwards or not....

Josephine Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 The ROH Facebook page has a post from 3 Oct with an insert for you to set a reminder. Confusingly this currently states that the ROH 'plans to go live at 2.00 tomorrow'. But perhaps this refers to the start time for the entire live relay rather than specifically the RB section??

Lynette H Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 ROH page with timings http://www.roh.org.uk/news/world-ballet-day-5-october-2017 Starts 12 noon, continues till 5pm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate_N Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I'll be glued to my iPad from 7am to catch the Bolshoi class - particularly if Maestro Akimov is teaching. I have meetings from 11am tomorrow, so will miss the RB class unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) It's worth keeping an eye on the ROH page which has the timings of the Royal Ballet rehearsals (the link is in Lynette's post above). For ease of reference, I took a screenshot of the version that was on line a couple of hours ago. Since then, the order of the items has changed and there are different start times for the various rehearsals. I imagine there might eventually be more changes so it would be advisable to check again tomorrow morning.

Jane S Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 RDB will be showing a Raymonda rehearsal on their Facebook page tomorrow at 14.00 Danish time - facebook.com/kglteater. Dancers to include Gregroy Dean, Kizzy Matiakis, Andreas Kaas and J'aime Crandall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaffa Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Some good news: There's a comment response on the ROH site saying: Regarding the schedule, we are a working theatre and as a result, sometimes rehearsal schedules have to be changed. If you miss any of the broadcast, it will be available for 30 days following the stream. Not sure if this applies to the whole day's activities or just the RB part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am loving the Bolshoi class teacher. He’s amazing. Not sure if I understood the problem but you can access the live stream without Facebook e.g. at http://worldballetday.com/ Mods, should we continue the discussions here or in a new thread in Performance Seen?

Here: I share Fiz' husband's frustration: the ROH email definitely made it sound as though it was on Facebook only. Wasn't that where we had the disaster last time, or was that on a different platform? I can't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiz Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 It was a feed on the ROH website, I seem to remember, Alison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
