alison replied to Bruce Wall's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
I hadn't realised this was on. I'm not a fan either of the production or of the first act, but I may tune in for the second act, which I do like- 15 replies

Cancellations in the UK caused by coronavirus
alison replied to capybara's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
I'd expected to see a public announcement of that a few days ago - wonder what happened? -
Not exactly reopening as such, but this Financial Times article (Is multi-view streaming the future for the performing arts?) from yesterday's Links suggests an interesting alternative: https://www.ft.com/content/ff5d568c-0338-46ec-bd56-43ac2590deb0 Apparently the costs don't have to be prohibitive, either. It would certainly do away with many of the complaints about live screenings that the director isn't showing what the viewer wants to see at any given point!

Yay! That's one I'll be watching and rewatching, I think.

Sir Robert Cohan has died aged 95, RIP
alison replied to Diandri's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
I see from the Links that the Guardian has already produced 3 tributes to him, but as yet nothing from any other papers. -
Two Friends, Two Continents, Very Different Pandemics
alison replied to Ian Macmillan's topic in Opera & Music
What I didn't think the article made clear enough - as far as I recall - was that part of the discrepancy is down to the fact that one of the singers is a salaried employee, while the other is freelance. As we know, freelances in the creative and performing sectors are suffering really badly over in the UK, as well. Of course, it may also say a lot for the attitude to the performing arts in the two countries that a singer can be salaried in Germany - what the situation with e.g. the opera companies in the USA is I don't actually know, although we know that it's common for dancers' employment -
I think the above depressing news is probably better off here than getting lost in the years-long thread on dance on terrestrial TV .
