PBS is now available on Freeview, I think, although I don't know if this documentary is.

Follow the link and you can watch it. No need to do anything else.

I wasn't sure where to post this so please move it if there is a better place.

thanks

Sadly, many ballerinas don't seem to do that anymore.  Sarah Lamb ALWAYS does, and I love her for it. 

me too

Mayara Magri is marvellous 😍👏

so glad to read this, and the early remarks on how well Myara danced. I am going with firends and the Saturday 4th Matinee was their prefered time, initilly I was disapointed but these posts make me feel we are in for a treat.

I greatly enjoyed the film and I imagine it's one I will come back to. Hope they do a dvd.

Not much to say that hasn't been said except that I thought the costumes were wonderful, I will watch again for those, and (an unimportant point) that the storm was real, see Tom and Ty podcast for more about that. 

I am looking forward to the next filmed ballet the Ballet Boyz do. 

Northern Ballet at 50, Front Row Interview with David Nixon. Starts at 00.43

Royal Ballet: Tchaikovsky - Sleeping Beauty

A production of Tchaikovsky's ballet at the Royal Opera House in London's Covent Garden, starring Marianela Nunez and Vadim Muntagirov
Sky:820 Virgin:206 Sky:122 Virgin:122

Sun 12 Jan, 3:00pm-5:30pm

For modern Concherto with Yasmin and Anna-Rose, utterly beautiful.

Wei Wang as Creature in Frankenstein, heartbreaking.

Lauren Cuthbertson as the Sugar Plum in Nutracker, I wanted to stop the ballet and take it all.

Taking an elderly relative to Romeo, (first time since their 20's when they used to que for cheap tickets) they loved Marcelino Sambe as Mecutio, I loved Sarah Lamb who is my favourite dancer.

Taking a young relative to Little Red Riding Hood by Northen Ballet, very engaging.

Lastly Sleeping Beauty, Sarah and Rio, were utterly convincing and beautiful and mesmerising, the whole ballet had me transfixed.

Thanks, greatly enjoyed these.

I didn't think it had been on yet except in Scotland.  Don't we have a thread about it in the Performances section?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000cy4b/the-snow-queen

If you want to watch it before BBC 4 Sunday 5th 7.30.

I also think Shobana Jeyasingh is brillaint and innovative, a well deserved recognition.

For those who might like something more serious about the Nutcracker, here is a wonderful article by Damien Mahiet from 2016:

Sadly it would cost me £25.
