Wed 7th July 7.15am-9am Also Royal Ballet Sleeping Beauty with Nunez/Muntagirov Sat 10 Jul 6-8.30am. This will nicely whet my appetite for seeing them do the last act on stage at the ROH the next day. Sorry, I was getting mixed up with the livestream casting. We'll be seeing them doing SB in that and Winter Dreams pas de deux on Sunday. Still wonderful! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmhopton Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 SkyArts are showing RB Nutcracker (no indication of cast or date) on Sunday 18 July 6.30am-8.30am. They're also showing Northern Ballet Casanova Mon 26 July 10.15pm to 12.10am. (Note the adult times!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheilaC Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I've just noticed that Sky Arts showed Spartacus early this morning. Given the unearthly time (6.20) I assume it was ballet. Did anyone see it? And if so, who was dancing? Presumably they'll show it again, whatever it was, so we can then look out for it. That's assuming the listing is correct. The awards programme was scheduled to be shown yesterday, 9-11 am, but instead it was yet more Tales of the Unexpected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveclassics Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I didn't see it, Spartacus is the type of ballet, IMHO, that only needs to be seen once, but it's available via the catch up facility on Sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 Yes, I noticed, too. Drat, I'd thought it was tomorrow. My guess would be that it was the Australian Ballet version - perhaps Bluebird or someone could confirm? Incidentally, at 9 pm this evening, Why do we dance? presented by Akram Khan, followed by Northern Ballet's Casanova, which has already been mentioned.

Scheherezade Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I've got a feeling that this is the Carlos Acosta/Bolshoi Spartacus. As it's Sky Arts, to be repeated, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He comes across as a great character and his family are so loving and supportive in doing everything they can to help him achieve his dream. You see him moving furniture around their small terrace house to create space to practice during lockdown and how his initial audition videos to Rambert had to be filmed at home. Made me think of other RB Liverpudlians such as Matthew Ball and Kristen McNally, though of course they didn't have Tom's health problems or the problems of trying to audition during a pandemic. if you missed it, well worth seeing it on catch up. https://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-boy-who-cant-stop-dancing/on-demand/72250-001 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmhopton Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 SkyArts are showing a doc. about ENBs first visit to Paris, performing Le Corsaire. Broadcast Mon 16th August at the civilized time of 9-10.15pm (perhaps it's dawning on them that an Arts channel needs to be showing some Arts programmes at a time when people actually want to watch them). Then repeated next day at the more usual 7.45-9am. Pity they're not showing Corsaire itself but perhaps they will eventually. CBeebies are also showing Northern Ballet's Puss-in-Boots Tuesday 17th August 12-12.45pm. SkyArts are also showing an Ashton triple Thursday 19th August 6.55am-9.05am (reverting to type with the timing, alas.) it includes Midsummer Nights Dream, Marguerite and Armand and an 'Ashton masterpiece', which I'm assuming is Symphonic Variations as it sounds like Zenaida Yanovsky's farewell performance in Marguerite and Armand. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheilaC Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 SkyArts keep showing a series called The Agony and the Ecstasy (eg midnight this coming Tuesday). Is this the ENB series showing the problems facing Daria and a very young Vadim, inter alia ? I've never checked as I've got it recorded but others might want to watch it, if it is.

I thought from the initial publicity that all were available for a one-off £4.99 but they appear to be priced separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
