nzballetfan Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Ia Bayadere is on Sky Arts on Feb 16 at 640am. So Nuñez, Muntagirov and Osipova then, although the listing says 1997? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the rights to air the 2009 recording with Rojo, Acosta and Nunez (as Gamzattti) repeatedly; I’m not sure if it covers the 2018 recording with Nunez (as Nikiya ), Muntagirov and Osipova. 1997 would be the Bussell/Durante/Mukhamedov era ....I’m not sure Sky Arts has a Royal Ballet Bayadere recording dating that far back?? Might just programme it to record for the curiosity’s sake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzballetfan Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Always worth recording just in case. If you have Sky on Demand, they have Nuñez (N), Muntagirov and Osipova (G) available to view on there (listed perplexingly as "La Bayadere ep. 1" starring Carlos Acosta!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 I definitely have a theory that Sky only show the most recent version available - possibly down to contractual reasons? It's a shame, if so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FionaM Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) The documentary on the Bangarra Dance Company was fascinating and emotional. Wonderful dancers, and very personal life stories of the main protagonists. Important national context too. Highly recommend. You may cry. I did. On iplayer now. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0014rg7 I haven’t found a link (yet) to watch internationally. Look out for it when it does come your way.

nzballetfan2 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) (Thank you for letting me reregister after I mislaid my earlier login.) Delighted that the Alice shown earlier this morning was with the utterly engaging Sarah Lamb and the fabulous, fabulous Zenaida Yanowsky. My daughter is going to be thrilled to have this on the TiVo box, easy to put on at any time.🙂 I would love for them to have a Nureyev week and show the old full ballets of Swan Lake with Margot, Giselle with Lynn Seymour, Romeo and Juliet with Fracci, but I don't know enough about copyrights and permissions to know if it's even worth emailing SkyArts about.

Fonty Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 On 21/02/2022 at 18:10, alison said: I often wonder when McGregor ever doesn't have a "busy few months"! Talking of which, he was on BBC Radio 3's In Tune this evening - somewhere around 30 minutes in, I'd guess, although I missed the start of it. And I actually saw trailers for this programme several times yesterday. It's amazing what happens when you put dance on BBC1, isn't it? I didn't see this, I was out, but I was a bit irritated by the write up about it on the TV Tonight page of the Metro. "In his role as resident choreographer for the Royal Ballet, the inventive Wayne McGregor has dragged ballet kicking and screaming into the 21st century - and that's not always been to the delight of the die-hard traditionalists...." Does ballet really need to be "dragged" anywhere? Of course we need new choreographers, but the implication that those of us who prefer traditional classical ballet are a bunch of outdated old fuddy duddies really annoys me. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 It's just ignorance and lazy copy writing really...presume they have never heard of Diaghilev, Nijinksy, Nijinska, etc... over a century ago! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted February 26, 2022 Author Share Posted February 26, 2022 I've just posted a screenful-and-a-half of classical music, largely on Sky Arts, on the "Music" forum. For ballet (and dance), we get just the one: Wednesday 2nd March, 7.15 am: Bolshoi Ballet in Coppelia. I'm assuming that will remain as scheduled.

San Perregrino Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Last night’s BRB Don Quixote (Hirata/Dingman/Lawrence/Kurihara) was being filmed for future broadcast. I chatted to one of the cameramen who, it turns out, regularly films these kind of productions (ROH, NT etc). He couldn’t confirm where or when it might appear. It could be streamed directly by BRB or broadcast by SkyArts or the BBC. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be streamed directly by BRB or broadcast by SkyArts or the BBC. I heard a whisper about this earlier in the week and am thrilled by the news. It’s high time that BRB was put ‘out there’ and this production of Don Q is ideal for a TV showing. Super cast as well. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHowarth Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 How wonderful. I hope it goes out on TV. I know BRB did streams during the pandemic but am I right in thinking the last time they had a production filmed for TV was Cinderella back in around 2010? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmhopton Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 SkyArts Monday 14th March 6.15 - 8am Australian Ballet Merry Widow. I assume it's the newer version filmed a few years ago and shown at the cinema with Steven Heathcote as the older gentleman. I actually prefer the earlier version where he plays the romantic lead but this is still worth seeing.

Scheherezade Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 It is indeed. The problem is that they do endless repeats of the same programmes, with seldom anything remotely new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I hope you like getting up early, Peanut, or have a recorder). And there are considerably more than 5 channels in the UK these days, even on Freeview 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
