MJW Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I think this is being streamed on YouTube as well this year - which is great given the Facebook issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletfanp Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) Not sure about that - it just mentions “highlights,” which is what it has done in previous years in relation to YouTube. Edited September 26, 2019 by Balletfanp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creakingstool Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Exciting, we are at RBS Covent Garden that day for the audition insight session travelling down from Manchester. Would be amazing to catch something of world ballet day while we are there. We aren't in London for long but fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHowarth Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I think the UK companies' sections will run concurrently with the 'main' WBD feed. I expect that (unfortunately) only RB will be in the main stream. So RAD and RB will overlap and viewers will need to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JNC Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Will this be available for people to view after the day itself? I have to work during the day so it would be nice to have the opportunity to watch at a later date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletfanp Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 They always leave it up in full for a few days after, then post selected highlights permanently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FionaM Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 There were parallel streams last year, in addition to subsections within the main host sections. I can recommend running multiple devices simultaneously ... if your WiFi can cope... to see the dancers / rehearsals you prefer. Personally I’ve found the RB school section too bland and usually switch over at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I loved the coaching of some RB students by Belinda Hatley a couple of years back....and then very gratifying to see some of them in this years RBS show and the progress they have made since back then. Definitely some stars in the making 🌟🌟🌟 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amelia Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 23.10.2019. Bolshoi Ballet will gather all its friends and admirers in front of the screen at 9 pm Moscow local time and will host 4 hours talk show session. Australian Ballet, due to time zones difference – will start first (4 pm – 8 pm, Moscow time), whereas The Royal Ballet, Covent Garden, will end up the broadcast (1 pm – 5 pm, Moscow time). https://www.bolshoi.ru/en/about/press/articles/announce/World-Ballet-day-2019/ Moscow is 2 hours ahead of London.
