Thank you, Yumiko - do you have any idea how long it will be available?  It might be worth putting it in the Calendar.

 

50 years is an incredible achievement, too.

It would be great if some of her lovely designs for A Folk Tale (which I like more than the ones in the current production) could be shown at the performance! Even if it’s just the costumes being worn for a pas de deux. I haven’t seen it yet but will try to find it online Her Majesty Queen Margrethe is a fan of ballet and an accomplished painter and artist- hope the programme did her justice.

 

Interesting choice of programming- is she a fan of Jerome Robbins’ work or the ballet The Concert?

Not sure how long it is available. In the past, Royal Danish Ballet dancers’ documentary series (televised in 2020) was available a month or longer.

Queen Margrethe designs ballet costumes. 
The costumes for the programme The Kompagnie B performed which I could not catch the title was designed by the Queen. 
She often attends the performance at both The Royal Theatre and Tivoli Park.

Hello Moderator team. 
 

Could yo correct the spell of the Queen’s name in the title and if possible, in my first posting, please? 
 

Too late for me to edit.

 

Thank you. 

[alison]

Done    I thought it wasn't right, but only viewed the thread quickly in passing.

[FionaM]

Is there a link to watch this please? 

[Shirley]

 'Part1' and 'Part2' are linked for me when hovering over them.

[Bluebird]

The link is in Yumi’s post. Just click on ‘part 1’

Edit: simultaneous posting!
 

 NB I found that ‘part 2’ led to the stream for part 1 but there’s a link to part 2 on the part 1 stream

There's a note saying it expires on December 9 2022.

 

 

[Emeralds]

Hmm....needs a bit of Bournonville. 

 

Am having trouble getting to Part 2. Can’t get the link to come up on Part 1 and the underlined words for Part 2 just gets Part 1 again. 

[yumiko]

Sorry, I did not paste one of the links properly.

I will paste both below.

 

Gala part 1

 

Gala Part 2

 

Hope they work.

Belated thank you.

[Emeralds]

Thank you, Yumiko! It works!  👍

[Jane S]

Yes, thank you, Yumiko - I've only managed to watch this on a tablet - PC would give me sound but only still pictures - but even on the small screen I really liked Caroline Baldwin's Giselle.

 

Rather touching that Queen Margrethe should ask for her own gala to start with a minute's silence for our Queen.

I used Edge which works for me. If you use a different browser, it is worth trying.

 

I believe you have been following RDB.

Have you seen documentary series? 

The first one picks up 4 or maybe 5 dancers.

The second one follows the artistic director Mr Nikolaj Hübbe.

Most of the dialogues are in Danish, occasionally in English.

I thought they were not available to view by now, but we can still watch them.

 

7 episodes, 30 minutes per episode televised in August/September 2017.

In the front row - 7 episodes

 

4 episodes,30 minutes per episode, televised in September 2020.

The link below should show all episodes in one page.

 

4 episodes link - Hübbe has the Power

I remember The Front Row - interesting to look at now, when we know which of them made it - but hadn't heard of the Hubbe series before. Just watched the first episode!
