I suspect they are using Vimeo for the paid concerts as they can control access more easily and it possibly gives more protection from things like illegal downloads. Point taken - but does this mean that if one pays the £4.99 a legal download is availabe via vimeo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 That is a heart-rending interview. The strain behind the fun antics- a feeling shared I am sure by so many dancers, and my heart goes out to Vadim and all of them. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) Saturday 27 June, 7:30pm BST Ballet First Soloists of The Royal Ballet Fumi Kaneko and Reece Clarke will perform the lyrical central pas de deux from Kenneth MacMillan’s Concerto. Created in 1966, Concerto is set to Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto no. 2 in F. Royal Ballet pianist Kate Shipway will accompany the dancers, together with soloists of the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House. Principal Matthew Ball and First Soloist Mayara Magri will perform a pas de deux from Christopher Wheeldon’s Within the Golden Hour. First created for San Francisco Ballet, Within the Golden Hour has been part of The Royal Ballet’s repertory since 2016. Music Director of The Royal Ballet Koen Kessels will be conducting Ezio Bosso's original score, which incorporates music by Vivaldi. [I had a feeling that one or both of these couples would be performing, especially when Reece /Fumi posted a suspiciously recent photo of themselves at the ROH.] Opera Jette Parker Young Artists Andrés Presno, Filipe Manu, Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha and Stephanie Wake-Edwards, and Link artist Blaise Malaba will be accompanied by soloists of the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House to perform a variety of works, including arias from L’elisir d’amore and Porgy and Bess.

Scheherezade Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Well, I shall be happy to pay for these. Lovely, if necessarily limited in terms of content. And way more user-friendly than last Saturday's offering. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great that we're getting 2 ballet performances at long last though I wish Matthew had been performing The Sun is God (one of the Alice Pennefather films he danced so beautifully) with Mayara. Also slightly disappointed Alex Campbell and Claire Calvert had been passed over; would have been even better to have three ballet pas de duex!) Still a great line up and really looking forward to it. Will be shelling out my £4.99 again. You can take it for granted tonight's has already been paid for a while ago and am counting down the hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJW Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Last week I watched on YouTube on my tv but as that isn't available this week I have tested to see if it is possible to watch via a browser on my FireStick and it seems to work. Whether it will do so this evening is another matter! Bit of a pain logging on to the ROH stream via the remote but I'd rather watch on my tv than my PC screen.

Unfortunately it didn't help me as much as I hoped. I do subscribe to marquee tv but the ticket I've already bought isn't valid to watch on marquee tv, it seems necessary to buy a different ticket instead! I'll have to stick with the laptop!

alison Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Looks as though some people had difficulty transferring it to their TVs. Glad I didn't even try. But I didn't have any great difficulty actually accessing the stream: I just (using Firefox) went back to my History, clicked on the Live from Covent Garden page, and there it was. I did see a lot of people jumping the gun and expecting it to be live before the scheduled starting time, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would avoid a lot uncertainty if it did 'start' a bit before the performance itself. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I am dyslexic I often don't take in all the information on a long email. However, all is good now and I have just seen the wonderful Vadim dance, I was nearly crying it was so emotional to see him on the stage of ROH. I can only wish for more ballet on these evenings. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I haven’t got to grips with the paying yet ..not that I mind at all but I missed this week because I couldn’t be sure I’d be in ... and I wasn’t! So if you pay does this then remain available to you to watch when you can . or is it only available at the time of broadcast? Also if you have missed it could you pay for it after the event and then see it.. that would assume it’s available not live only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
