Perhaps it was an error?
If it was, then I took full advantage of it and posted it for all on the forum to do the same. Since I had them all separately, someone will now get a good Christmas present.

Not a new release, but a bargain at the moment on Amazon. The 3 disc Ashton Collection Vol. 1, on blu-ray for £9.96. That's less than half the price of each disc if purchased separately.
The Amazon price of this Ashton set is now back up to £38.56. It is difficult to understand or predict how the market is working.

Just going through the Christmas double issue Radio Times. Haven't seen any ballet so far but on Boxing Day
BBC2 12.40 pm there is Singin' in the Rain.
BBC2 6.40 pm Anything Goes. Fabulous production filmed at the Barbican and shown at the cinema recently. Definitely my Christmas highlight.
BBC4 7.30 pm Repeat of the Dancing the Nutcracker: inside the Royal Ballet documentary shown several years ago, charting the rise of Francesca Hayward from watching the Nutcracker on video to dancing the Sugar Plum Fairy. This is followed at 9pm not by a performance of the Nutcracker but the Royal Opera La Boheme from 2020.
BBC4 Tuesday 28 Dec 9pm. Original West Side Story film.
SkyArts Tuesday 28th Dec 9.30pm.
A Play In A Day. I'm really scraping the barrel here but Sergei Polunin is in this programme but it's not clear what he's actually doing.
SkyArts Thursday 30th Dec 6.45am Matthew Bournes Swan Lake. The first Christmas ballet but hardly a new one.
SkyArts Friday 31st Dec 7.30am Matthew Bournes Romeo and Juliet.
Despite having eventually found some ballet I'm still underwhelmed by the offerings. Anything Goes will still be my highlight but I miss my Royal Ballet fix despite all the dvds I have. Why does the BBC show so little ballet these days? It's hardly worth paying your licence fee. I'm hoping someone will come up with some treasures I've missed otherwise it will be out with the dvds.
It is fortunate that we purchased our DVD collections, otherwise there is nothing worth watching.

Might I add a few words from the perspective of a copyright holder? My company owns the copyright in several hundred hours of archive television programming, some of which is valuable and may indeed become more valuable as the years roll on and people move from life into history:
The opinions of my colleagues on the subject of YouTube run across the spectrum, from digital anarchy ("there is no point in protecting anything, that is so 20th century") to the pragmatic ("if people steal our clips and spread them around, that's good advertising") to legalistic exactitude ("anyone who uses our IP without a licence is breaking the law").
I need to strike a fair balance in a world where almost everyone is getting accustomed to finding almost everything online within a few minutes of searching. We tend to ask YouTube to take down poor quality copies of our material which end up online, as we have come across a fair few media companies who sadly try and exploit our footage without our permission (footage they rip from YouTube). Whether we like it or not, we are bound by the contracts which govern this content, much of it produced in another era.
But we have our own YouTube channel, continue to release clips on a regular basis for free and, if someone has a particular research interest, we try and help out with copies for a small fee, subject to various legal restrictions.Hope this helps provide a little context. I don't however pretend to speak for the BBC or other such large operations.
It is right that IP should be protected and able to provide revenue for its owners as well as lawful sharing. In the case I cited, 'Jewels', I was trying to pursued the owner to sell it to me and to the world, but they protected their rights to bury it, after a successful cinema viewing. I claimed that it was the best of the various productions of this piece and I have them all to compare. What a loss this has been to people like those on this forum. There was an official taster clip on you tube as well, to advertise what ?

It appears that this thread is going to continue amongst the Upcoming Releases thread, so is it possible for a moderator to move it to a relevant thread. Thanks.

I notice what it says about the soon to be release Don Quixote with Nureyev, Helpman and Powel. (Lovingly restored from the original 35mm film, and to be heard for the first time in full surround sound digital stereo created for the DVD and Blu-ray release, this is finally, how Nureyev intended his Don Quixote to be seen and heard.)

We have all made the same mistake at sometime, so no need to be sorry. It can be difficult to recognise the difference because they can be of such good quality and cleverly disguised channel names . It is simple for those uploading them to move them by Video Manager into private files, suspend or delete. I have noticed that most of these are removed after a short period by the uploaders and may re appear months later, which could indicate that they are moving them around, maybe to avoid complaints and detection.

Actually, I was just trying to see if they would do anything about it (i.e. did they care - apparently they do).
A test case which apparently received a response.

I have notified the ROH in the past via IG and the illegal posts and in some cases the entire channel have pretty promptly disappeared.
Good for you, I hope they were able to turn it to their advantage. In my case I was hoping that they would be able to sell a product. 'Jewells' disappeared after about a month, so no one got to see it. I think a lose, lose situation.

Not sure whether this is the correct place, but didn't know where to post it. Please relocate it as fit.
If you search, there is the FULL Acosta / Osipova Giselle being streamed on YouTube. I've no idea how long it might remain up There is also a full Osipova Coppelia with the Bolshoi.
The copyright is owned by Naxos. I once reported a breach of copyright directly to them, of 'Jewells'. I got a thank you, but in reality not a lot of interest, with the impression that I was bothering them.
I have it on blu-ray but they declined my request to release 'Jewells' on blu-ray so that we could purchase it, which was my objective.
I hope you enjoyed it.

Although a 2015 release, the 'Gala Mariinsky 2' has some little gems. So perhaps a more appropriate slot could be found.
If you look carefully, you can see Yulia Stepanova, now principle with the Bolshoi. in the Corps de Ballet for Kingdom of the Shades and in Jewells; also Xander Parish, now Mariinsky Principle, in Corps de Ballet of Etudes.
Of course there are more obvious treats, like Ulyana Lapatkina in Pavlova & Cecchetti, Ekaterina Kondaurova in The Dying Swan, Diana Vishneva in Carman Suite, Olga Assina in Leda and the Swan, Oksana Skorik in Diamonds and Kimin Kim in Etudes.

Thanks for the insight, sounds like it could be an interesting collection. At least 19th November isn't too long to wait - I'll keep my eyes out for it!
Now confirmed . ROMEO AND JULIET: Roberto Bolle and Misty Copeland. THE SLEEPING BEAUTY: Polina Semionova. DON QUIXOTE: Natalia Osipova and Leonid Sarafanov. LE CORSAIRE: Nicoletta Manni and THE LOVER´S GARDEN: Nicoletta Manni.
I have these all on blu-ray except for this Don Quixote and can highly recommend the other four. The Don Quixote has classy Russian leads and so high expectations.

I can just see that it is released by C- Major, to be released on 19/11/21 and contains 5 discs, at least one of which appears to be by Prokofiev. I can only take a guess at what they will be, but possibly a compilation of recent singly released discs.
My best shot, for speculation, would be five from Romeo & Juliet, Sleeping Beauty, Le Corsaire, The Lovers Garden, Gala des Etoiles, Raymonda, Notre dame de Paris, Tchaikovsky Gala and Don Quixote.

I thought there already was a 15-disc set? So expensive that nobody would get close to buying it for me for Christmas. (I mean, it's a nice idea, and a relative bargain that size, of course, but even so, it's impractical price-wise). Or is this a different one?
Alison, I was probably closest, but I didn't even know you wanted it for Christmas

Japan has declared a state of emergency for the 3rd time in major cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Hyogo. This is the result of the corrupt government policies that were unable to secure vaccines, and the increasing number of new valiant infection cases.
Therefore, almost all performances were cancelled within a day's notice.
There was a family ballet festival called Ueno no Mori Ballet Holiday scheduled next weekend but sadly this was cancelled, so the festival went online and there are several offerings provided.
https://balletholiday.com/2021/online/
such as Tokyo Ballet's Giselle (excerpt)
Asami Maki Ballet's Paquita
Asami Maki Ballet's Raymonda act 3
Inoue Ballet's Nutcracker in full
Also National Ballet of Japan's Coppelia by Roland Petit performances were cancelled, but they are planning to have a streaming of the performance without audience for free, so I will add information later.
So sad Naomi to hear your disturbing news about another Covid emergency in Japan. We wish you all a rapid return to 'normality'.
I have had a quick look at your clips but will watch them in detail this evening.
Many Thanks.

I just checked the US Amazon site & the DVD is still not available. The Blu-Ray version is there, from a third-party dealer, for three times the price...and, from my past experience with such dealers, good luck in getting your DVD. The Jerome Robbins Trust must be trying extra hard to keep it out of Americans’ collections. (I’ve no doubt that the problem is with the Robbins & not Marston, who seems very generous in making her work’s films available.)
Have a look at 'moviemars' trader in South Carolina. They have had the Cellist DVD listed for some time. Maybe for future reference, but just a thought. US $32.82 - Approximately £23.75

I suppose 30 days is longer than my bottle of Christmas Malt Whisky will last, or the Turkey, but somehow I just cant get into the mind set of buying something that will self destruct after 30 days.
