I guess I'll just settle for watching the RB from 12pm and catching up with the rest once I work out what they're doing... the Bolshoi class is on right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't make the WBD website work..... go to the Bolshoi link, then navigate down a bit till you see the 'live' link (inside a wee red box in te top left corner of the image). Then enlarge that image. At least, that's what I did... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Bolshoi streaming is also working fine from the Bolshoi Theatre Facebook page. Been great so far - current watching their live class.

RHowarth Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I'm sure in previous years there was one continuous stream and you didn't have to keep navigating to different feeds! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I just thought I'd try the main site at https://worldballetday.com/ Sadly it fails to load on 3 different browsers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's links like this that all the companies should be putting out - deliver you straight to the stream, not genic links that require you to do more navigation and make full screen etc. I'm not the only one who does little to nothing on Facebook. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangorballetboy Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I'm really not keen on the repetiteur taking the Bolshoi rehearsal at the moment. I know being in the corps is very difficult but he should really show the dancers at least a modicum of respect. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither did the WBD link. Why on earth can't we just have one WBD channel that streams the whole thing? While we are wasting all this time we are missing out! 😠😡 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiz Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 We finally found the live stream after much aggravation. Why they can’t use a central site is beyond me and I’ve missed all of the Australian Ballet and don’t know which ballet the Bolshoi is rehearsing. Every year it’s so frustrating. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Is it the angry man we saw last year? I found it rather uncomfortable viewing and felt very sorry indeed for some dancers, whose few minutes of glory were just turned into a public humiliation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an interesting coaching style - exclusively negative feedback! I was just reading a BBC news article about Manchester Student Union banning clapping in case it makes them anxious, and wondering how those precious little dears would react to having all their faults shouted at them in front of the whole world..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there's a point where you're so technically strong that you just want specific correction in any case, not US-style 'good job' all the time. I was amused earlier by the very Russian, downbeat style of the guy interviewing the kids who were auditioning for the academy - 'this will be the last cookie you ever eat', 'what will you do now, give up?'. Not a 'medals for everybody who came' culture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiz Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Oh dear. I had to use my laptop, go to Facebook, the Royal Opera House feed and it finally directed to the Bolshoi’s Facebook page. So much faffing about. Good luck. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balletfanp Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Sorry - it’s so frustrating when these things don’t work. it does look as if you might be able to link to the ROH live stream at 12:00 direct from their website - under News and World Ballet Day - scroll down. Still takes you to Facebook but fewer links to faff with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I am on the ROH Facebook page and STILL can't find any link to the Bolshoi. This is really annoying me. How can it be so difficult? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
