Live in cinemas: Tuesday 9 April 2024, 7.15pm BST Encores from: Sunday 14 April 2024, 2pm BST (Available to watch in the UK only) Odd. Some sort of 'rights' issue? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Wonder if it's felt that there won't be enough interest internationally? Thanks for starting this, Oncnp. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Quite interesting, I don’t know why we shave MacMillan Celebrated but I would think that at least one of the Ashton bills would be streamed, at least in the uk only? And there’s only 6 ballets and 2 of them exclusively in the Uk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ondine Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 It's not really filling me with excitement TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmhopton Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Disappointing we're getting 2 Macmillan programmes at the cinema and possibly a 3rd showing of Winter's Tale, but none of the Ashton, especially as it would be a great way to launch the 5 year celebrations. Hopefully some of them will be streamed but given we haven't had last years triple yet it doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone clarify if the confused / confusing rights situation with the Ashton repertoire is somehow connected? Could it be that, rather like Onegin, there are restrictions placed by some rights owners when it comes to recordings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone is placing restrictions on Ashton recordings (or, perhaps, asking for too much money in that regard) they are extremely misguided. Surely someone who has been bequeathed the rights to a ballet would want ‘their’ choreographer’s works to be seen and appreciated by ‘new’ generations? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capybara Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 The other day I had no problems getting into the Vue Cinema booking sites for tomorrow (28th May). Now, The Sleeping Beauty won't come up. Of course, the telephone and chat lines can't cope with answering a simple question about booking. Does anyone know whether Vue has cancelled its 'encore' showings?

LinMM Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 It could be one of those weird “in the moment” glitches! You try again later and it’s fine! A bit like when I bought a ticket to Norwich very recently and was told at the station that there would be no direct Thameslink from Brighton to Farringdon ( where need to change) and would also have to change at East Croydon ( always a nightmare) This was after I’d previously checked at home first and through trains were showing. I just thought okay must have changed since I’d looked. Went home and looked up again on my phone (now a week later)and it’s showing a through train!! So I checked at the station again and sure enough there is one. But when I had bought the ticket at the station the man was very adamant I’d have to change at East Croydon as well! I can only assume that when he was booking the ticket there was some weird computer glitch at the time 🙄 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Hope you manage to get a ticket. Here in Brighton it’s a different arty cinema showing the original livestream and the encore on the Sunday. If a friend hadn’t told me ( who is a member of all these cinemas) I would have just thought the encore wasn’t being shown!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I turned up to buy a ticket in person on the day and then had to speed to another Vue 20 minutes drive away. Lesson learned … book online in advance, they can’t cancel even if only one person has booked (I hope) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynette H Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Interesting to see that the cinema season also includes Message in a Bottle (Kate Prince / Sting) from Sadler's Wells to be broadcast in in May 2024. I suppose this is similar to NT Live showing productions from theatres other than the National Theatre, which it does from time to time. Message in a Bottle returns to the Peacock in October 2023. https://www.sadlerswells.com/whats-on/message-in-a-bottle-2023/ It's not clear whether they will be showing a recording from 2023 in 2024 or if there is another run scheduled for 2024. It's described as a "special screening" which might indicate not live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeralds Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Hope they will have the Ashton recorded somehow- perhaps for tv broadcast on either BBC or Sky Arts and the rights/programme sold for tv broadcast abroad. They could choose a selection from the two programmes being scheduled; it doesn’t have to be everything from just one performance. I think there would be a lot of interest, especially in regions where Ashton ballets (or even just ballets) aren’t performed often. And of course, it would be fantastic if they released it on DVD (as well as the delayed 2022 Ashton triple bill!) Am glad that at least the MacMillan triple bill will be relayed. Wonder if the “U.K. Only” scheduling is due to international cinema companies not being sure if those ballets will sell enough tickets. (Personally, I think I would find it easier to market The Winter’s Tale than Manon, because of the Shakespeare connection and the lower age guidance, but I presume they have their sales stats and their reasons!)

If there was anything out of the Royal Opera Houses main seasons I would think they would stream Carlos Acosta at 50 or The Australian Ballet gala? Maybe in future years? Not critiquing this choice by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Also I assume that the uk only livestreams will we be streamed internationally on ROH stream? I understand why the aren’t showing them worldwide in cinemas, but international audiences would probably still want to watch them and with this they could get the chance.
