Miami City Ballet performers This Bitter Earth (till 16th Oct) 

I too have greatly enjoyed these podcasts. They feel different from many others as there is more about ballet than a dancers journey, which is what I find most podcasts are about.

Dancing in the Blitz: How World War Two Made British Ballet

BBC Four HD.   Freeview:106. Virgin:107. BT:106. Freesat:107.  Mon 14 Sep. 12:00am-1:00am

 Documentary in which David Bintley, director of the Birmingham Royal Ballet, explores how British ballet thrived during the war. Using rare and previously unseen archive footage, Bintley charts how the then Sadler's Wells Ballet Company, led by Ninette de Valois and featuring stars such as Margot Fonteyn and Frederick Ashton, survived an encounter with Nazi forces in the Netherlands. He reveals how they danced while the bombs fell during the Blitz to bring ballet to the public as an antidote to the austerity the nation faced - before emerging post-war as the Royal Ballet. Featuring contributions by Beryl Grey, Gillian Lynne and Julia Farron

REPEAT Giselle

Sky Arts HD.  Sky:820. Virgin:156. BT:363.   Fri 11 Sep. 7:00am-9:00am 

A peasant girl falls in love with a count, who leads her to believe that he is an ordinary villager, but her discovery of his true identity has devastating consequences. Natalia Osipova and Carlos Acosta star in Peter Wright's Royal Ballet production of Marius Petipa's classic version of the ballet, staged at the Royal Opera House

 Bit of a shame Alice is on in the evening, given what a "family-friendly" ballet it is, though.

Now you say that I wonder if it is to do with space in Covent Garden not being as used in the evening?

I didn't check the tickets as I can't go but I hope they will be available soon. I can't find anymore about it on the net, maybe when someone does they can post so that those who want to go can get a ticket.

Covent Garden is teaming up with one of London’s leading art institutions, the Royal Opera House, to launch the capital’s only free open-air cinema this summer. 

Guests will be able to enjoy socially distanced evening screenings in the Covent Garden Piazza as part of a three-day programme, running from September 11-13.

Cinema on the Piazza, which is organised in partnership with Luna Cinemas, will feature evening screenings of ROH’s productions of Swan Lake, Alice in Wonderland and La Bohème. There will also be matinee showings of The Greatest Showman, Back to the Future and Mrs Doubtfire over the weekend. 

Fans attending the screenings can order food online from Covent Garden restaurants, including The Oystermen, Buns & Buns and Frenchie.

Tickets are complimentary, although a donation to the Royal Opera House is encouraged. They can be booked here.
