    Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but does anyone know if any of Sylvie Guillems full length ballets are on DVD/Blu Ray?

    Unfortunately none of her great classical performances, just a couple of later contemporary performance like 'Push' with Russel Maliphant and 'Bye' by Mats Ek. There is a double disc, 'At Work/Portrait', mainly documentary with ballet clips.

    Yes, it's brilliant in my opinion: very explosive at the end of Act 1, calmer but extremely emotive in Act 2, and very abstract yet gripping in Act 3.

    I ordered the Dante Project on Blu-Ray from Rarewaves.com.  I hadn't ordered directly from their website before, but for comparison it was £25.23 with free p&p for the blu-ray and shipped from their warehouse in Rushden U.K., despatched in 2 days and delivered in one week.

     Sky arts are steaming Alices Adventures in Wonderland on Saturday 18th Feb at 6:15 to 8:30 am G.M.T. This is a different cast to the two versions available on DVD. Sarah Lamb, Edward Watson and Federico Bonelli star in the Royal Ballet's 2013 production based on Lewis Carroll's classic children's story, with choreography by Christopher Wheeldon and music by Joby Talbot.

    Presumably out by now:

    "THE DANTE PROJECT

    Wayne McGregor's latest award-winning ballet, in collaboration with artist Tacita Dean and composer Thomas Adès, takes inspiration from Dante's epic journey through the afterlife, The Divine Comedy. Just released on DVD and Blu-ray, enjoy this world premiere recording, starring former Principal dancer Edward Watson, from the comfort of home."

    The answer to Alison's question is that it is not out as yet,  Some suppliers in France, UK and Germany are taking orders with a potential supply of between 11th and 15th February. Hopeful rather than confirmed, since no one appears to have it in stock. Amazon are not showing it in stock for themselves and are cautiously not taking pre orders.

    I asked customer services this last summer and was told no more as the Nunez/Muntagirov one was quite recent. I was not impressed but hope last summer's cinema relay will be on the new streaming service soon?

    As an alternative for 'Swan Lakers', Google arts are currently streaming the Yanowski performance, which I recall was very good.

  6. With two Royal Ballet releases of Swan Lake by Nunez, one by Osipova and an early version with Makarova, it would be understandable if they decided that this particular ballet was already well served by DVD releases, when compared with the many other productions in their repertoire, many of which have not had a previous release.

    This was one of those I enjoyed most. I wish it was for sale on Blu-ray, although streaming has been invaluable in the lockdown, I do like to have them on the shelf, to watch at  a time to suit.

    There is another version of La Esmiralda currently showing on youtube. I believe it is Olga Polyanskaya and Valery Ryzhov. It is reasonable quality although not HD
