Found it ... it was shown on the lunchtime news today - about 6:30 in and I assume may be repeated tonight. The lunchtime news only seems to be available on iplayer for around 10 hours after transmission and I think the later news is available for around 24 hours. Here's the link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b006mj67?suggid=b006mj67 You looked fabulous Dormouse!

Is that South East Today Ian, or does London have a separate local news programme?
-
The local news programmes are usually available for 24 hours on the iplayer. I've just scanned through the lunchtime one but that is only a 10 minute bulletin. Given the news included at lunchtime it could well be that transmission has been deferred - worth keeping an eye out tomorrow. Here is the generic link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b006pfl4?suggid=b006pfl4

A non-naff ballet present!
Jan McNulty replied to cavycapers's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
Well actually, while I was drooling over various items in the Chester shop that is exactly what my friend said! Horses for courses! -
They are strapped in - there was an item on BBC Breakfast this morning!

ENB has had a history of this - when still LFB with Peter Schaufuss as AD the premiere of Natalia Makarova's production of Swan Lake was at the Alhambra in Bradford. A production (sadly I can't remember which) was also premiered in Liverpool many years ago. Of course BRB and NB productions tend to premiere in their home towns of Birmingham and Leeds (although Jane Eyre premiered in Doncaster - still Yorkshire).
-
Indeed the premiere of Akram Khan's interpretation is in Manchester - I am there on the first night! However you could be forgiven for thinking that the premiere is at Sadler's Wells as the way it was announced over a year ago now was as part of the release about the partnership between ENB and SW. Giselle is, in fact, also a co-production with the Manchester International Festival.

The first one I became aware of a couple of years ago was the one in Chester. I've seen them in several places now including Grand Central in Birmingham. They could be good for quirky gifts! -
BRB has published a featurette about Ruth Brill, who is choreographing a new ballet for the company next year: https://www.brb.org.uk/post/ruth-brill-on-working-as-a-female-choreographer

Do you go to the Stage Door?
Jan McNulty replied to Jan McNulty's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Thanks for bringing this wonderfully eloquent post back to the top MAB. -
If it isn't a big thing why keep responding? Please do not respond to this question, I really don't want an answer. Please let's get back on topic.

When I have been to the Stage Door (visiting from my front row of the orchestra stalls seat) I have met other people who sit in the stalls and other people who sit in all parts of the auditorium (not that I ask them where they have been sitting but sometimes we recognise or know each other). Not all of us are autograph hunters - on my occasional visits I have gone to congratulate a favourite dancer. (The only autograph I have ever received was from Irek Mukhamedov at the SD of the Palace Theatre in Manchester and that was by accident.) I have never seen the ROH personnel treat anybody differently from anyone else and how on earth would Stage Door personnel know where anyone sat in the auditorium. Bruce, please post your thoughts. I have hidden a post because it breaches AUP. Please keep this thread for discussing in a respectful, non-confrontational way, your thoughts on the Bolshoi's Swan Lake be those thoughts good, bad or indifferent.

Travelling from afar as I do, I am an occasional visitor to ROH and an even less frequent visitor to the Stage Door. How would anyone know where I sit?

Jan McNulty replied to cavycapers's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
I passed the Chester branch of Pylones today and didn't go in as I was trying not to spend! -
Curtain calls are most definitely choreographed - I have often seen this in BRB and NB rehearsals. Wish I could have been there to see it!
