Jan McNulty Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Email from Birmingham Royal Ballet: WHAT'S ON | THE COMPANY | SUPPORT US Announcing the British Ballet Charity Gala The Albert Hall, Thursday 3 June, 7.30pm Pay-per-view broadcast, from Friday 18 June 7pm Dame Darcey Bussell DBE presents the first-ever British Ballet Charity Gala on Thursday 3 June at the Royal Albert Hall. This special gala is a celebration of the UK’s leading dance companies and features the companies above coming together for the first time in an evening of dance, unity and joy. This special event is a moment for British dance to showcase its vibrancy as well as highlight the significant part it plays in the UK arts scene during what has been one of the most challenging periods in dance history. Hosted by Darcey Bussell and Strictly Come Dancing winner Ore Oduba, tickets for the Gala cost from £240 and capacity at the Royal Albert Hall is limited to 1,000 to adhere to social distancing guidelines. The event will also be filmed by BalletBoyz Productions and will be streamed from 18 June at 7pm via the Royal Opera House and English National Ballet’s websites. Each company will perform pieces from their celebrated repertoire and music will be provided by our orchestra, the Royal Ballet Sinfonia, conducted by Paul Murphy. Birmingham Royal Ballet's Momoko Hirata and César Morales will perform a pas de deux from Sir David Bintley's acclaimed Cinderella. The Gala’s finale has been especially choreographed by Benoit Swan Pouffer, Artistic Director of Rambert, in a spectacular new work uniting, by film, all of the participating Companies. Speaking of the announcement, Carlos Acosta said: I couldn't be more thrilled that Birmingham Royal Ballet and the Royal Ballet Sinfonia will be so involved in this Gala, arranged by the brilliant Darcey Bussell. It promises to be a wonderful evening of world-class ballet, supporting the arts and live performance, more crucial now than ever. The performance will be filmed and broadcast as a pay-per-view broadcast with tickets costing £20. Proceeds from the gala and stream will be shared between the participating companies (all of which are registered charities) with each company further nominating a community dance company of their choice, who will receive a ‘waterfall donation’. Full details of how to book tickets for the broadcast will be shared with you at a later date. Tickets for the live performance on 3 June are available by clicking this link to the Royal Albert Hall website.

Guest oncnp Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) Stream available to purchase for £20 on ROH site British Ballet Charity Gala - Royal Opera House Stream (roh.org.uk) and ENB British Ballet Charity Gala — Ballet on Demand | English National Ballet | ENB at Home This event is scheduled to begin at 7pm BST on 18 June 2021. A film of the performance will be available to watch On Demand until 18 July 2021. The time on the forum calendar is off if one of the mods could fix it. If in the US, less expensive on the ROH site for some reason. Edited April 24, 2021 by oncnp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Macmillan Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Bumped as it's on later this week. One of the BRB announcements mentions they'll stage a Cinders pdd, but anyone heard of other likely items from other companies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Not that I KNOW... but ENB has two obvious candidates from its recent show at SWT. But they might not select either of them. More than pas de deux is needed to fill the RAH space and I would have thought that ValentinoZuchetti’s Scherzo or, the extended version Anemoi, would be good choices.

Jan McNulty Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I've got a feeling I read somewhere that the programme was not being announced in advance. I assume it's because there may have to be last minute changes. The BRB mention of Cinderella is the only one I have seen and that has not been mentioned since.

When BRB announced the Cinderella pdf, they announced it would be Momoko and Cesar dancing. As far as I am aware, Abby Prudames and Joseph Taylor are dancing the 1984 extract and Minju Kang, Lorenzo Trossello and Kevin Poeung are dancing Kenny Tindall's Bitter Earth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
