toursenlair Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Does anyone know where the info that used to be on the ROH website about repertoire (ie repertoire that isn't in the current season) and choreographers (Ashton, MacMillan) is now lurking, if it's there at all? Also all those great videos they used to have of rehearsals, insight evenings, etc. etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I can't find it either - there used to be a synopsis of each ballet and other info, and it seems to have all gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toursenlair Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 ok, now I've found the very discreet search button at the top of the page which takes me where I want to go. Sort of. I can find Mayerling but there is nothing for Manon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Well, the videos used to be available on iTunes - are they not any longer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Newcombe Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Also if you click on individual dancers you can find all sorts of video info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toursenlair Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Also if you click on individual dancers you can find all sorts of video info That is true, but it's kind of a cumbersome way of getting at it. I only discovered that by accident after I had drilled down to the dancers' page. The I was looking for Manon, and I had to think, "Who might have danced Desgrieux recently?" then go look for them, then click, etc. etc. Say you wanted to find out something about the mime in Sleeping Beauty, are you likely to know the name of whoever it was that was being coached by Monica Mason in that video? And who's likely to know that other than habitues of the RB? There are people from all over the world consulting their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
