Guest oncnp Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) 22 hours ago, alison said: Well spotted, thanks, oncnp. That led me to have a closer look at the schedules: All Sky Arts: Monday 29th November 7.20 am: LSO: Romeo & Juliet, which I assume is the Prokofiev score, although I haven't checked 9 pm: Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater (includes Chroma, and of course Revelations) 3.10 am (so Tuesday): Natalia Osipova: The Mother The Ailey is presumably repeated at 7 am on Thursday 2nd December And if you'd like a little more Wheeldon it appears that Marquee TV has "Winter's Tale" available for free, possibly because the version (Cuthbertson/Hirano/Ball/Lamb/Muntagirov (sub for McRae?)) never made it to DVD.

Scheherezade Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Thanks for the update, Alison. I’ve set my TV to record the early morning repeat, although I don’t hold out any great hopes for an improvement. And totally agree with your sentiment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't watched it yet, but that sounds very disappointing. A sternly worded 'letter' of complaint is warranted, I reckon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeralds Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) An American in Paris was simply dreamy and S’Wonderful. Those who didn’t see it or missed some of it, do watch it on BBC iplayer online. Delightful being able to see Leanne Cope, Max Westwell (from ENB & BRB) and James Barton (from BRB) in their West End musical theatre roles again, as well as Robert Fairchild as Jerry. The choreography and sets look great on tv too! Edited December 1, 2021 by Emeralds 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangorballetboy Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Of course, the connection between these versions of American in Paris and Anything Goes is the wonderful Haydn Oakley (and there is a ballet connection too as he is married to a former RB dancer). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmhopton Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) SkyArts are showing ENB in Paris Thurs 16th Dec 6am. A repeat doc of ENBs staging of their Corsaire in Paris. Just edited this to add this is my 1000th Forum post. A milestone indeed! The little logos telling us how we fit into the scheme of things seem to have vanished so I'll never know what I've moved onto from 'mentor'. Geriatric probably!

Lynette H Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Not tv, but not sure where else to put this. There's a 45 minute programme available on BBC sounds. It's a Music Matters programme from yesterday about the new Spielberg film production of West Side Story and it includes contributions from Spielberg, Sondheim, and the choreographer Justin Peck. An entertaining listen. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m00126td 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Ha ha jmhopton your post made me laugh I wish we could have a laughing emoji to click on for peoples posts. I was on the tube for the first time in over two years on Saturday and as soon as I got on the very crowded tube ( there was a big event on at Kew Gardens apparently) some young man offered me his seat ...I’m always surprised when this happens but forget to him I obviously appeared a geriatric lol!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
