alison Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 Do you remember the days when the ROH website used to notify us of TV broadcasts of the companies' productions? Or was that perhaps only for new ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 Just when we thought we'd got Sky Arts' schedule more or less sussed, there isn't any ballet (or dance at all) in the Friday 7 am slot next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 Thanks, Janite. Has that one been on already, or was it announced for earlier in the year but then not shown? My poor lockdown-affected brain ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan McNulty Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Northern Ballet have recently advertised that it was still available via the iPlayer on their social media channels and that it is being re-shown on BBC4 (it was shown earlier in the year). I've realised that some items on the iPlayer are available for a lot longer than others but is it worth the effort to search them out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on how much you want to see them, I guess. If you just want to see what's available, type "ballet" into the search field on the iPlayer main page. Dracula is the first thing that comes up, along with some other interesting dance broadcasts. Edited October 22, 2020 by oncnp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 I was very happy to catch the end of the Australian Ballet's Coppelia this morning, and look forward to watching the recording when I have time. It looks like a very enjoyable production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really annoys me as Sky Arts repeat allsorts of "Discovering actor xyz" over lunch yet show ballet at silly o'clock in the mornings!!! Anyway Dutch National Ballet's Mata Hari is great and if it is the same video as the company streamed earlier this year it is beautifully filmed in fact it is possibly one the best filmed ballets I have ever seen. Anna Tsygankova was right when she said it was beautifully filmed in a promo video for the stream. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 In addition to Northern Ballet's Dracula, which is being shown on BBC4 around midnight on Sunday 1st November (so technically just into Monday), we also have on Sky Arts Tuesday 3rd November, 7 am: Giselle (Royal Ballet, with Osipova and Acosta) (It looks as though the ballet "slot" may have moved from Fridays to Tuesdays) Thursday 5th November, 6 am: Force of Nature Natalia (Osipova, in case anyone doesn't know!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmhopton Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Just noticed a couple more ballet/ballet related programmes. 5 Select Freeview Friday 6th Nov. 1020am and 11.25 am A Nutcracker Christmas (short film) Jaded former ballerina Lily is forced to come to terms with the life - and love - she left behind when her niece Sadie, herself a ballet prodigy, is asked to take the starring role in The Philadelphia Ballet's production of Tchaikovsky's festive favourite The Nutcracker. However, the production is being directed by none other than Lily's old flame Mark. Festive romantic drama, starring Amy Acker, Sascha Radetsky and Sophia Lucia SkyArts Tuesday 10 Nov. 7am-9am Moulin Rouges ballet. Production of the ballet based on Baz Luhrmann's 2001 musical romantic drama, choreographed by Jorden Morris I've seen it before and quite liked it though I know it's not to everyone's taste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 Thanks for the reminder, 2Ps! I remember similar comments in the past, but since it was on satellite only at the time I didn't really retain them. What does Terpsichore have to do with it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Pigeons Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Had I said something like thank the Lord this may have caused offence. As I do not know of a 'God of the dance', apart from Nijinsky obviously, I thought I would thank its muse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
