No, though rather remote to view, presumably it is Lauren with Vadim Muntagirov in the video, but in the still picture surely that is Akane Takada with Vadim ? But what was the occasion for these RB dancers appearing at La Scala? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletfanp Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 It wasn’t La Scala - it was the Teatro San Carlo in Naples. I presume just a normal guesting appearance at the time. I know that Takada guested with Muntagirov there one year (which would explain the photo) and Cuthbertson the next. It’s definitely Cuthbertson in the video 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) I like how the ENB broadcasts have tracked progressive restrictions - first we had class at ENB with four dancers and Tamara, then it went down to Tamara with just Francesca Velicu, now we have just Tamara in her kitchen at home! I believe she will be back on today on ENB's Facebook page at 11am. Edited March 26, 2020 by Quintus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm365 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Yes indeed - how wonderful to see them together. I only saw Bruhn a couple of times when he came to guest with the Royal Ballet, and Fracci even less, but they were unforgettable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveclassics Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Apologies to those who don't have Sky but for us fortunate enough to get Sky Arts there's a lot of dance-related material available on their Catch-up option. I particularly liked the Top Dance Scenes from the Movies which was more than just the usual catalogue-type programme usually seen on Channel 5. There's genuinely interesting debate about the choices which include a sizeable clip from The Red Shoes, one of my all-time favourites and worth a dozen Black Swans. There are also plenty of performances of the classic ballets too (plus dance-drama from Matthew Bourne) and you can download them to watch as many times as you like.

Jan McNulty Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Oh, I loved the Top Dance Scenes programme. For those who don’t want the full expense of a Sky Package you can get a Now TV stick for around £20. The Entertainment package is about £10 for a month but with no contractual length and includes Sky Arts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLOSS Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Why not take the opportunity to look further afield and explore some of the offerings on Vimeo ? Here are a few suggestions 1) Frederick Ashton A familiar name however the range of his works which we are permitted to see is somewhat limited. Here is an opportunity to watch "Frederick Ashton performed by the Satasota Ballet" which runs for about an hour and includes excerpts from the works in Sarasota Ballet's repertory some of which we may only know by name rather than being works with which we are all familiar. It includes excerpts from Apparitions the work which established Fonteyn's artistic potential and her working relationship with Ashton; Illuminations a work Ashton created for NYCB and Sinfionetta. 2) Antony Tudor A major twentieth century choreographer whose work is sadly and inexplicably neglected. New York Theater Ballet provide the opportunity to watch two of his greatest works Jardin aux Lilas/ Lilac Garden and Dark Elegies, the charming Soiree Musicale and a fine account of The Judgment of Paris. All four of which were made for Rambert's company and an excerpt from Tudor's almost mythical Romeo and Juliet which has not been seen in years because ABT's artistic director says it would cost too much to revive. It is not set to the all too familiar Prokofiev score but to music by Delius. You might also like to look at Inaki Urlezaga's official website where you will find excerpts from Romeo and Juliet which he danced with Cuthbertson and a full account of Birthday Offering. You need to know that the lead ballerina does not dance the Fonteyn solo but while. it is not a completely idiomatic account of the choreography it is a whole lot better than the Royal Ballet manged last tine they danced it. The site also includes far less familiar works which you may find worth watching. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hambleton Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I'm not entering the Liam Scarlett debate, but here is a short film about the making of 'Nasz Chopin' for the Polish National Ballet in April 2019 with some excellently watchable ballet. Principal is Dawid Trzensimiech, Royal Ballet Upper School trained, and former Solist with The Royal Ballet. In the corps are Phoebe Liggins (ENB School trained) and my own Laurence Elliott (Upper School trained), both in their first professional company jobs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
