Bruce Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Lots of news from RNZB this morning... In 2015 Liam Scarlett is doing a new 'full-length' Midsummer Nights Dream for RNZB - using the Mendelssohn score and with designs by Tracy Grant Lord (among others she did their excellent R&J). It premieres on 20 August 2015 in Wellington. Details: http://www.rnzb.org.nz/shows-and-events/the-vodafone-season-of-a-midsummer-night's-dream/about/ Also in 2015 RNZB are touring England and Scotland with the Kobborg/Stiefel Giselle. Can't find any dates but suspect Autumn 2015. It's an acclaimed production and look forward to seeing it. The news is in this press release about a new Director: http://www.rnzb.org.nz/news/news/new-ad-and-2015-season/ Finally they have a new director, following the departure of Ethan Stiefel - Francesco Ventriglia. He has been Director of MaggioDanza in Florence since 2010. Lots of blurb about him in the press release: http://www.rnzb.org.nz/news/news/new-ad-and-2015-season/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Haven't they streamed it already, or was it only an extract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanJL Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I think they streamed it last year but it was only available live (through Facebook?) and it was the middle of the night for anyone based in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I thought that since the original thread had gone rather off-track the last few comments would be better moved to this thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
