Vienna State Ballet to have Pay Per View ...

[Bruce Wall]

The Vienna State Opera/Ballet will feature a mouth watering 43 live streams starting with Massenet's opera Manon on 24th September  and including a complete Ring cycle.  There will be three ballet streams only.  

 

Sunday, December 7 - MacMillan/Liszt: Mayerling  (that professed favourite of so many BcoF members)

Friday, December 26 - Nureyev/Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker

Saturday, February 14 - Neumeier/R. Strauss: Verklungene Feste and The Legend of Joseph

 

The pricing options are €14 per stream, €88 for any eight streams, or €320 for the entire series. The streams can be watched live or at one of three time-delayed start times.  Perhaps it is a good thing that the pound is currently strengthening again ... and that Scotland did, in fact, stay in the union.

The first of these three live ballet transmissions is Kenneth Macmillan's 'Mayerling' next Sunday at 18.30. A single ticket costs £11.01. I have watched some of the opera transmissions without any real technical problems in the UK.
