FionaM Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I wish they’d show some of the older recordings ... I’d hoped the La Fille Mal Gardee version was Roberta Marquez with McRae ...more authentic Ashton interpretation, to me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FionaM Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) Is there a recording of Sylvia Guillem in RB Raymonda Act3? Infinitely better than Osipova .... this ballet really highlights her poor classical ballet technique. Stepping onto bent leg for posé turns etc. I cannot watch ... will fast forward to see the rest including Vadim who are super 👏👏👏 Edited January 27, 2021 by FionaE Pressed submit in error 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oncnp Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) As an e-mail footnote today, it appears Sleeping Beauty will be the next ROH stream on 26 February, 7pm. There is going to be a new opera recital streaming on 19 February so hopefully the ballet is working on something as well.

We are excited to celebrate this anniversary by streaming our 2020 recording of this landmark production, restored to its original staging by Monica Mason and Christopher Newton in 2006. The ballet features choreography by Marius Petipa, additional choreography by Frederick Ashton, Anthony Dowell and Christopher Wheeldon and a masterful score by Tchaikovsky. Fumi Kaneko stars as Princess Aurora, with Federico Bonelli as Prince Florimund, Kristen McNally as Carabosse and Gina Storm-Jensen as the Lilac Fairy.

Jeannette Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I seriously covet this particular SB starring Fumi Kaneko! It must become a DVD/Blu-Ray release. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may get your wish. The last RB "Beauty" was released in Feb 2018 (Feb 2017 Nunez performance) and this might be an indication they intend to release this as well. They haven't yet shown anything that wasn't or wasn't destined for DVD/Blue Ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest oncnp Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) Next up - Elite Syncopations This film will be available to watch from 7pm Friday 12 March until 11 April 2021. "The joyous nature of the work is fitting for this recording, taken from the celebrated The Royal Ballet: Back on Stage performance which took place in October 2020 as it marked the first time that the Company had performed on stage together in seven months." https://stream.roh.org.uk/products/elite-syncopations-2020 Edited February 25, 2021 by oncnp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanJL Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Really pleased about this one 😊 my laptop wasn't streaming very well back in the autumn but I've since bought a new one so will be great to see this in all its glory! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FionaM Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Confused here ... is this a different performance of Elite Syncopations to the one on the BBC iplayer Gala? Looks the same to me? Why would anyone in the UK pay to watch the stream? And the same price for full Sleeping Beauty and 17 minutes of Elite Sync? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the announcement, this is Elite as performed on the Back on Stage program last October (and November come to that), where it took the entire second half of the program The BBC gala was snippets, I believe. So it's the same 3GBP as for Raymonda, Marguerite & Armand and the other one act-ers they have broadcast.

Rob S Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Yes the ES shown on the BBC was a very odd bookending of the rest of the gala and nowhere near all of the performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanJL Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Is that an option offered by the ROH? I have to admit I'd personally much rather have the chance to buy things on DVD (or even better Blu Ray) than settle for a download, even if there's a big price difference. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The download option is right on the screen (240 - 1080p). I started the download to see if there was an additional charge and there didn't seem to be. I didn't finish (don't want the recording) so there may be one at the end. I can't see them putting out a DVD/Blu Ray after giving it away but who knows?

alison Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I see nobody's mentioned Elite Syncopations (the socially-distanced one), which started last Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanJL Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I watched it on Friday night and loved it just as much as back in the autumn. I'd actually forgotten some of the lovely performances and the subtle bits of activity around the edges. Really pleased to be able to see the full performance again!

MargaretN7 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Dream is certainly for sale on ROH site to stream 19th March, which I originally had marked for a Meet the Young Dancers streamed Insight event. Perhaps it has had to be reorganised? We'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
