Jan McNulty Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Thanks Jeanette I enjoyed watching this Hamlet. Hendrix may have been credited as the composer but I don't think it was him playing!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

li tai po Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Here are two streams on you tube, free of charge. Dancers stay in the Dutch National Ballet Junior Company for only two years, before moving on either into the main company or elsewhere - so coronavirus has been severely restricting their opportunities to gain experience of performing on stage. They are streaming a rare revival of Hans Van Manen's 1983 ballet, In and Out, which is set to music by Laurie Anderson and Nina Hagen. It seems remarkably modern for its time and is a riot of movement and colour. Hans Van Manen is still going strong and is rapidly approaching his 89th birthday. You can also watch an abbreviated class, in which Ernst Meisner guides these young dancers in his usual friendly style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I picked up about this a couple of weeks ago and found it absolutely fascinating. Although a film about artist Anselm Keifer's exhibition at the Gagosian Gallery in Le Bourget it features (starting at 9mins 39 secs) Hugo Marchand and Hannah O'Neill of Paris Opera Ballet dancing in the gallery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanJL Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 La Scala's homage to Nureyev is available here, I think until Sunday https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ghuTOOtdfhA&feature=emb_imp_woyt I really enjoyed it, although would have been happy without the reminder of Nureyev's choreography for Romeo and Juliet! Other than that, a nice range of pieces and some good performances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved that it afforded a look at a range of the troupes’ principals & soloists beyond Nicolette Manni, who’s fine but somewhat overhyped. For example, I was especially impressed with Maria Celeste Losa as Dryad Queen in Don Q...also dancing the Henriette solo in Raymonda. Also loved Claudio Coviello’s Manfred solo...successor to Bolle as Italy’s next great star danseur? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheilaC Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Good news about Forsythe's Barre Project with the amazing Tiler Peck. I contacted the organisers, CLI Studios, as I was unable to watch either showing as they were in the middle of the night here, and viewing wasn't extended as I had hoped. I got a very prompt reply to say that Sadler's Wells will be issuing it, in May, at 'Europe-optimised' times. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too noticed Maria Celeste Losa in both roles .... strong technique and charming relaxed performer. Standout performance of the whole show for me. I did enjoy Nicolette Manni and Tim Andrijashenko in Black Swan pdd. This role suits her, less so the Dream scene of Don Q. Tim is a class act. We need to see more of him. I wasn’t that keen on Claudio Coviello .... he is one dimensional to me. His technique is very good, but his musicality was off. The Raymonda divertissements was the best part of the show being most of Act 3. The corps were reasonably well rehearsed and all were in good shape, considering they’ve had only a handful of performances in the last 12 months. Virna Toppi and Nicola del Freo were strong in the lead roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stucha Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 There is currently on YouTube a full length 1978 Royal Ballet production of Sleeping Beauty with Merle Park and David Wall, Monica Mason as Carabosse and Wayne Eagling as the Bluebird. Not great quality unfortunately which seems to be the result of a transfer from VHS. The credits were cut off early so most of the production details are missing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeannette Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) For something truly new & surprisingly traditional! Joffrey Studio Co & trainees: Ballet de Cour by Durante Verzola to Chopin... music recognizable to Ashton fans. Substantial 19 minutes of sublimity, in tutu & pointes for ladies & men in traditional ballet outfits! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y18f04LDAe0 For me, the best of a handful of original ballets created during the past COVID year... just straight-up beautiful dancing without outdoorsy or non-proscenium gimmicks! (Ratmansky’s Bernstein in a Bubble for ABT, Shropshire’s Handelwerk for Hong Kong, Tuckett’s Lazuli Sky for BRB, & Lovette’s La Follia Variations for ABT Studio among other winners of truly original classical works created during COVID, IMO.)
