In case you couldn't access the Washington Post link in last week's Links, here are details of MMDG's online season:

Starts with a livestream tomorrow, 12th November, extracts from The Hard Nut in December, Dido and Aeneas and L'Allegro next year, and more.

I tried to access the L'Allegro stream just now and got 'video not available - if you are outside the US please contact us' - has anyone tried that?

 

(Sorry if there has been discussion elsewhere)

Thanks for the reminder, Jane - I'd forgotten about it today.  No, I haven't tried it.  I do hope it's available.

Yes, I did contact the Mark Morris Dance Group. They emailed me a link and password to see the L’Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato video and were very nice.
They said: "for all those wishing to view outside the US, contact info@mmdg.org and inform us of their name and country to receive a link."

Yes, I did that too - took me ages to figure out how to watch it on our TV but hugely worthwhile in the end!

I fear I'm not going to see this - I've only just received a standard response from MMDG saying that my email has been passed on to the appropriate person.  And the streaming finishes later today

This may be the very performance that was being streamed, although it may not include the extras on behind-the-scenes filming in Madrid:

I'm sure it is - and one day someone will actually pay some attention to my Christmas list
