mart Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 L’Opera is a fictitious French Tv series about the POB slightly cliched , interesting nonetheless it deals with the internal politics of a major ballet company some of it rings very true . it’s in French no subtitles get it on papstream free the dancing is not great but adequate 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophoife Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 L'Opéra season 1 is available on SBS On Demand (Australian free to air network's streaming service) with (for those outside Oz) a VPN. With subtitles for those who need them. Season 2 is due soon. I would beg to differ with the above opinion on the dancing. No, the actors in the leading roles are not professional trained dancers. Yes, they have done a heckuva lot of work to give the impression of being dancers. A number of French ballet-related sites (forums and blogs) have been complimentary about the overall standard of dancing, which well they might be because the majority of the dancing cast are professional dancers, not actors. It's a wonderfully soapy drama with added ballet, thoroughly enjoyable, and there are indeed a number of recognisable characters and situations. Give it a try. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pas de Quatre Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I can't find it on papstream. Any idea why not? At the moment I haven't got a VPN, but may try to set one up if that is the only option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mart Posted September 27, 2022 Author Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) P D Q go to Google France that’s how I got papsteram in reply to Sophoife about the dancing Chacun son goût as they would say at the Palais Garnier. The plot is no so much about dancing but the intrigues and machinations that happen . Edited September 27, 2022 by mart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pas de Quatre Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Thanks Mart, I will try tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophoife Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 @mart I'm not sure they'd ever say chacun à son goût at the Garnier - I do think things might be a tiny bit more disciplined than that 😉 ...and as I said, it's a wonderfully soapy drama with added ballet.

Pas de Quatre Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 No problem getting on papstream with Google France, but when I do a search for L'Opera I still only get 4 totally unrelated programmes come up, the same as using normal UK Google. Can you send me a link please mart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pas de Quatre Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Found it! Clicked on 2021 and scrolled down. Just watched the first few minutes to make sure it streamed. Looks like lots of clichés, but great fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
