jmhopton Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Bolshoi next season cinema dates have been announced. I didn't know if I should start a new thread but thought it seemed a bit premature as the first performance isn't until October. October 20th Spartacus November 17th le Corsaire (repeat) December 22nd Sleeping Beauty (repeat) January 19th Jewels February 2nd Lost Illusions March 30 Golden Age Link http://www.pathelive.com/fr/news It is in French but Google will translate. Like the Royal they've had to start repeating. I wish they'd repeated Bright Stream. I'd love to see it again. Also apparently the Bolshoi are acquiring Pierre Lacotte's Marco Spada next season which I really enjoyed seeing on the Nureyev dvd. Some good male dancing in it. It seems ironic they've acquired both this and Onegin after Vasiliev has left. I'm sure he'd love to dance both roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Thanks, Joan. I think it is better to start a new thread, so have done so, hopefully using your post as the first entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 And since we now have the RB's new season details as well, I'll add those (with many thanks to eliamato for the original posting): Don Quixote 16th October The Nutcracker 12th December Giselle 27 January The Sleeping Beauty 19th March The Winter’s Tale 28th April Was that it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomer Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Considering all the time and effort that must go into sending these ballets around the world, are they ever available on video afterwards? I would love to be able to see some of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toursenlair Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 "Petita"??? You'd think the BOLSHOI would know how to spell Petipa! (although I guess this is Pathe Live that produced the poster) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottsballetlover Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I'm over the moon to discover the upcoming RB live screenings will be shown at a cinema complex in Nottingham city centre (Cineworld -also showing at others of that same cine group around the UK). Previously they'd only been shown at the out of town (on industrial estate!) multiplex that's very difficult to get to if like me you don't drive..... £16 a ticket, great value, booking all of them!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmhopton Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Odeon Culture Plus have announced their Royal Ballet/Opera screenings. Also Meteropolitan opera and some RSC and National Theatre. Still waiting for Bolshoi though previously they were announced later than Royal ballet and not so many screenings.

Don Q Fan Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 As I will be in Edinburgh on holiday when RB Don Q premieres on screen which I cannot miss - any recommendation for which cinema to go to? I believe the Vue Omni will be nearest for me but they do not seem to have DonQ avaialble for booking though Vue Waterfront has a repeat on the next evening. Thoughts appreciated.

nottsballetlover Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Don G fan - Cineworld Edinburgh has booking available for the live screening but no idea where it is in relation to the centre.

Aruna S Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I was absolutely thrilled to discover from the ROH's website some time back that several cinemas in Italy, including the one where I live, would be screening the RB's live transmissions this season. Previously we'd just had Giselle, I think in early 2011, and the occasional opera, seeing all the ballets will be a real treat. The downside is that these are the same cinemas which were earlier showing the Bolshoi broadcasts, and it looks as if they have decided not to screen both. This Bolshoi season has a lot of repeats so I don't mind that much but it's a pity. I know these things are dictated by commercial concerns and the audiences for ballet are small, so I am trying to focus on the positive side. Being able to see, for instance, The Winter's Tale fresh off the presses, so to speak, and the new DQ which I'm very much looking forward to.

alison Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I can't be certain without doing a ridiculous amount of mousing, but it rather looks as though Empire cinemas are getting into this in a big way: http://www.empirecinemas.co.uk/?page=artssynopsis (well, UK-based showings, anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aruna S Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Interesting that ROH is showing casting for Giselle as TBA while Empire Cinemas has Osipova/Acosta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Wall Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 See this film is being shown in NYC. Wondered if some of these 'emerging' dance/ballet films as stated might not be able to appear in one specifically cultivated and dedicated programme in one of London's so called 'art' cinemas? Surely such showings are the ONLY real way to build a hunger and develop an audience for such so called 'alternative fare'. In a world seemingly thronging to social media this would be a plug for the furtherance of an ongoing dance/ballet education in and of itself for those who - for whatever reason - have had (or chosen) to resist travel in the shaping of their own dance perspectives. Certainly it could hurt in the development of a meaningful twitter feed (so important nowadays - even to Balletcoforum links say) - and the idea of a Sunday morning specialty - certainly a less popular time for many which the major studios use to meaningfully preview so many of their own future releases - might well be an ideal vehicle through which to begin. . http://www.emergingpictures.com/2013/06/13/david-hallberg-stars-in-short-film-the-dancer-to-kick-off-national-spokesperson-role-for-ballet-in-cinema/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The live transmission of Spartacus on 20 October has at last appeared on the Odeon website and tickets are on sale. It seems to be showing in Odeon cinemas nationwide. 4pm start I find the new Odeon website quite difficult to navigate. Anyone agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmhopton Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Thanks for info about the Odeon showing of Spartacus, Patsomerset. I used to have Odeon Cultureplus saved as a favourite but with changes to the site I find it almost impossible to access as my computer isn't up to date enough. I had to go to the cinema to book for Don Q and while there I complained to the manager. She said I was the first to complain in person but in the Odeon office they have had to have their computers updated to cope with the new system! She said she would pass my complaint on. I find it very annoying when some computer whiz kid comes along and upgrades a website without considering all the thousands of users who don't have the latest technology. Even my computer at work can't access it without a lot of trouble. It took about 20 minutes just to see what seats were available and then it wouldn't let me book. I don't even particularly like the new layout. Previously it used to say at the top of the site how many films were there so you could tell almost at a glance whether any had been added or subtracted but not any more. The thing that really annoys me is it is possibly the least mobile members of the population who have the oldest equipment and are less able to get to a cinema to book.

alison Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Me too. I can't view it at all on my ancient edition of Internet Explorer - and it's not my fault that Microsoft won't allow me to upgrade to a newer version. Not that I tend to book online anyway, but it's always good to have the option to see how ticket sales are going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joan I did not realise that the new Odeon website requires an upgrade of Internet Explorer. I only have the new version because my old computer died earlier in the year. I imagine there must be many people who can no longer book online. Even if you can get onto the website I find it very clumsy and difficult to navigate. I found Spartacus under something labelled 'advance book' but it did not appear in the 'Culture 'list. I managed to book a seat for myself but could not book a wheelchair space for a friend. I had to book this by telephone. Is this an improvement? I shall complain at my local Odeon when I go next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Yes, I'm afraid if you're still on IE8 (which anyone with Windows XP still will have to be) you get shoved onto the "mobile" version, which is pretty pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beryl H Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I noticed the Odeon website had changed recently, although I hate downloading systems onto my computer I had to get Internet 9 a few months ago as BT were threatening that I would be unable to access my E-mails unless I did. I must say a lot of websites do look better with it, but I find the Odeon one irritating to use now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I must say, I'm very impressed with the ROH's "find a cinema" feature: http://www.roh.org.uk/search/screenings?location=France&startDate=2013-10-04&screeningProduction=5083&do=search It links to Google Maps so you can get an idea of geographical distributions. *So* much easier than various other people's sites for finding their showings. I can understand why French balletomanes are upset, though: you seem to need to be living in the centre of France to see Don Q. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottsballetlover Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Hi folks. I'm usually at live shows (at ROH for Don Q on 2 Nov mat) but will be attending my first 'live ROH cinema screening' in Nottingham next Wednesday for Don Q. Having never been to one of these before can I ask what may seem like a silly question? What happens in the intervals?? Do they show an intermission film? Just interested to know....! By the way, the increasing accessibility and availability of these ballet (and opera) cinema screenings is so good. I'm attending the cinema Don Q next week with an elderly lady - she has always loved ballet but it's too difficult for her to travel to London to the ROH, even if I assist and accompany her. I work for a disability charity and I'm just passionate about making the arts accessible to all, in as many ways as possible. So, keep up the live cinema showings ROH!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marg S Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Hello Nottsballetlover They show behind the scenes rehearsals, interviews with dancers and on one occasion (The Nutcracker) the mechanics of the Christmas tree growing. Always really interesting. One tip. We have learned to get to the cinema in plenty of time as they tend to be very well supported. I saw Don Q last Saturday .Loved it, so enjoy!

alison Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Advance booking definitely recommended, unless you can see online that there's plenty of space left. And people do generally abide by the 7.15 starting time, which has caused me problems in the past when a restaurant has taken ages to sort my bill out.

Don Q Fan Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 The Bolshoi Spartacus is being screened at the Light Cinema, New Brighton, Wirral - £15 standard tickets - so £5 cheaper than Picturehouse Liverpool if a non PH member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
