Bumping this because the Picturehouse cinemas I've looked at so far are showing it this coming week - at lunchtimes.

I've been watching this on YouTube the last few nights:

I think it's very good. Act 1 in particular is really rather wonderful with lots of colour in the costumes and sets, and the playing of the orchestra is pure magic: full of vitality, a great pulse, storytelling and drama.  The whole thing is great fun and just keeps leading you on and on.  Natalia Osipova in her first solo has wonderful musicality and sway.  Bruce's review (of a Coliseum performance) is here and I totally agree with what he is saying.
