SheilaC Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Last night SkyArts said that the Romeo and Juliet film listed for tonight at 9pm is by Kenneth MacMillan. It's apparently from 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 What? It's supposed to be a National Theatre production according to my guide. And anyway, the RB didn't perform R&J in 2020 for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Might well be worth watching anyway, as background material to the RB's current run. 2 hours 10 minutes would be tight to squeeze the RB production in, although it might just about work. If it's the RB, it will be the Naghdi/Ball cast, won't it? Will set the recorder just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Sky Arts synopsis says Royal Ballet, 2019 performance, but tantalisingly, won’t say any cast names. Hope it’s not actually an older recording that’s already out on DVD! (Sky Arts has tricked us like that before!) One thing we do know is that it can’t be 2020 as R&J wasn’t performed by RB in 2020- the only full length ballets were Coppelia, Sleeping Beauty (those two at the tail end of the Christmas 2019 runs), Onegin, Swan Lake and the Covid-compliant Nutcracker. For those who can’t see it or record it tonight at 9pm, the Sky Arts has scheduled a repeat on Friday morning at 6.55am. (Obviously for very very early risers who are not working, or for those recording....!) Edited January 17, 2022 by Emeralds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo and Juliet DVD (The Royal Ballet) 2019 - The Royal Opera House (roh.org.uk) Indeed, all the evidence today is pointing towards this performance, so it is one already out on DVD (and was streamed for free I think by ROH during the first lockdown). I had a very small hope that it might be a different one - eg was there a Takada / Hirano performance filmed for Japanese TV? But it looks like Naghdi / Ball.

Sim Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 How can they get it so darn wrong? Very annoyed about this. They got the choreographer wrong, the company wrong, and probably the year. So disrespectful and incompetent. I will also be contacting them. 🤬🤬 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Macmillan Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 This was as I saw it back in 2014. Costumes are certainly different and, I suspect, some of the choreography. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeralds Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) It’s the Ural Opera Ballet! Samodurov’s choreography, as Alison and Ian helpfully identified. Bel Air Classiques has a trailer for their DVD on YouTube. Funnily enough, I couldn’t identify it when I saw it, but the word “Yekaterinburg” just popped into my head! And I thought the dancers’ style of dancing looked Russian. Interesting, but definitely not what I was expecting! Well, it certainly wasn’t RB nor Kenneth MacMillan. Good thing Lizbie1 and Alison warned me to expect possible surprises. 😂 I can get the Naghdi/Ball performance on DVD. I did say Sky Arts has done this before- where the synopsis or listings don’t actually match what is eventually broadcast!
