According to the Radio Times website (not always accurate) An Olivier Award-winning 2019 interpretation of the classic production, retaining all the iconic elements of Tchaikovsky's beloved tale with a spellbinding originality.

I thought she spoke very well - it's only quite a short programme with lots of items. Outdoors at first at the start and then in the "garden shed" to talk ballet later in the programme. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 BTW, since we're on the subject of ballet, Sunday (i.e. today) morning at 6 am on Sky Arts, we have Sir Simon Rattle conducting "the three Stravinsky ballets", i.e. Firebird, Petrushka and The Rite of Spring. It's repeated sometime in the early hours of Monday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do they insist on showing these third rate dance programmes on TV? This one will no doubt go the way of all the other recent offerings (Strictly excluded, of course).

rowan Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Perhaps not the right place for this, but a very short BBC piece about a Muslim ballet school in London. Instead of working with music, they work with poetry instead- something I’d not thought about before: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-london-57360361 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
