Lockdown and General Streaming Thread

Another source with a long list of links to streaming of both ballet and opera performances

https://www.fedora-platform.com/news/experience-opera-and-ballet-online/123

 

Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo in La Belle, Maillot's version of The Sleeping Beauty, available until 11 am UK time on 13 Apr. I've been able to access the video from here so fingers crossed it'll work from other countries, too.

Ballet am Rhein in Martin Schlaepfer's Swan Lake, available until 28th April. I don't know whether this comes with a geo block though.

https://www.operamrhein.de/en_EN/home?p=1 (scroll down)

I got through Nureyev's version with POB by doing a few things on the side the other day. Schlaepfer's version, on the other hand, had me crying buckets at the end.

Stuttgart Ballett in Cranko's Romeo and Juliet, available until 12 May. I hope at least one of the two links isn't geo blocked.

alas they seem to be geoblocked

[alison]

I don't know whether the first one is, but it's simply not working.  The second one definitely is geoblocked.

On the website, there is also a Paris Opera Ballet Giselle.  It's geoblocked for the UK, but I mention it in case people elsewhere can access it.

I'm pretty sure it is geoblocked everywhere outside France.

 

[alison]

Well, I think we do have the odd reader in France, so perhaps they can access it.

[Don Q Fan]

POB confirmed Giselle was geoblocked for copyright reasons.  

 

I must say that the Polish National Ballet Sleeping Beauty I watched yesterday was beautifil I really enjoyed it and especially seeing Dawid Trzesensimiech (ex Royal ballet) as Prince Desire.  It was really lovely beautiful set and costumes (if a little orangey in aura at times!) It was esepcailly good that the Price and carabosse were dressed in silvery grey so it was easy to see them when the lights went down.  It will air again on 18 and 25 April at 5pm UK time.  Chinara Alizade was Aurora but I missed that she did not put her hands above her head when doing the Rose Adagio 😞

 

[alison]

Did we have a link for that one?  I'm losing track of them all, and these aren't on the calendar  

[ninamargaret]

just watched the POB Jerome Robbins programme, with slight difficulty - I think my set up, Internet on st tv dislikes French Tv as the picture kept breaking up, stopping, and similar problems. have had no trouble with anything else. However, it didn't spoil my enjoyment of the programme. The only ballet I had seen was Faune so it was great to see works that were new to me. Fancy Free was totally enjoyable and I found myself mentally casting it for the Royal. I think when The Age of Anxiety was last performed at the ROH someone on the forum suggested that Fancy Free would have been a better bet - I agree.  Wasn't so keen on the Glass - probably because I don't enjoy his music, but the dancing certainly made up for it. Does anyone know if this is a fairly recent performance?

[Jan McNulty]

Of course, BRB used to perform Fancy Free on a regular basis.

This program was danced in the Paris Opera Ballet’s last (2018-2019) season. I believe this was the performance that had a live cinecast in France in November 2018.

POB list of streaming performances, again apologies if this has already been posted I couldn't find it when I searched.

At the bottom of the page they say this: "Due to currently unreleased rights, some of these broadcasts are geo-blocked for some territories. The Paris Opera is working on enlarging its broadcasting area."

 

I also can't find a link to donate to POB, has anyone found one yet? If so could you post it, thanks

Extract from Elmhurst Press Release:

 

‘In conversation with Sander Blommaert’ invites renowned names from the ballet world to be interviewed on his Instagram Live on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings at 7pm. Many dance illuminati have agreed to join Sander ‘in conversation’ – coming up in the next few months, are: Mara Galeazzi (17 April); Céline Gittens (20 April); Edward Watson (24 April); Christopher Wheeldon (27 April); Gary Avis (29 April); Elmhurst’s Principal Jessica Wheeler (1 May); César Morales (4 May); and Aaron Robinson (8 May).

 

 

 

 

Oh good, I've been wondering whether someone would get around to doing interviews.

Chinara Alizade got injured on her next performance of Sleeping Beauty, she tore her Achilles. 

[alison]

I notice that on the La Scala Sleeping Beauty link posted on page 6, if you scroll down there are loads of other dance works listed:

Not sure whether they will all be accessible easily, but worth investigating.

Ahh it jumped and froze on me too do it wasn't my connection then. I saw Glass Pieces in Rome in January for the first time and really enjoyed it even if the music is a bit repetitive.

And I thought Matthias Heymann had more fun and pleasure dancing A Suite of Dances than anyone I'd seen previously.  Do catch this bill, folks, if you can - it's available for another couple of days yet.

Yes, I should have mentioned him. A real tour we force, and I loved the interaction with the cellist. Many years ago I saw the Dutch National Ballet do a pas de deux accompanied by the same Bach suite with the cellist also on stage - wonder if it gave Robbins ideas?

Would love to see the Royal revive this.  Can just imagine, say, Naghdi or O'Sullivan in it .... and, of course, there are SO many wonderful men to fill the principal role now.  It would be a feast.
