Riva Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 BBC4 will be showing Swan Lake ‘from the Royal Opera House’ during their festive scheduling although can’t see a specific date yet, or which production. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-46346051 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmhopton Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 An American In Paris is apparently also being shown on BBC2 over Christmas. Can't find any details as to date or production, but hopefully the new one Christopher Wheeldon choreographed as it was also filmed and shown at cinemas earlier this year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 A notice for Christmas treats just announced and it says 'Swan Lake' from the Royal Opera House on BBC Four. Doesn't say which day, but we usually get the Ballet on Christmas day. So hope its the complete production and not just 'the making of' documentary, like we had with The Nutcracker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Does it say which Swan Lake? If the new one, I wonder which cast? I guess Nuñez/Muntagirov since they did the broadcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmie Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) It does say "The Royal Ballet performs Tchaikovsky’s magnificent classical ballet in a brand-new production by young choreographer Liam Scarlett, with sumptuous and evocative designs by John Macfarlane." and "Starring the Argentinian ballerina Marianela Nuñez in the hugely challenging dual-role of Odette/Odile, with Vadim Muntagirov as Prince Siegfried". https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/mediapacks/xmas18tv/bbctwo Edit: since this has gone over a page break I am adding that is for a TV showing not a DVD. Don't get too excited about the DVD release yet . Edited November 27, 2018 by Timmie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 So it is the most recent production and looks like its the full production with extras as well. Also says it's BBC2 on this link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I've merged contributions from a couple of threads here, just in case the running order doesn't make sense Note also the "ballet on Radio 3" thread, although technically I think that's all pre-Christmas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavycapers Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I have looked, but can't see any TV listings for ballet performances or docs, as there usually are over Christmas, for this year. Does anyone know if we are to get any ballet treats on TV over the festive period? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmhopton Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Sunday 16 December SkyArts are showing the 2016 RB Nutcracker at 4pm. Can't find a repeat during that week and recent experience has shown me that if you try and get it on Catch Up Sky want you to pay extra though that may not apply if you have Virgin or other ways of getting SkyArts. I suppose it may be repeated over the Christmas period but my Radio Times only goes us to 21st December. I think the Christmas double issue is due out next week. I think the casting was Cuthbertson/Kish/Hayward/Campbell with Naghdi as the Waltz of the Flowers lead. Perhaps someone else could confirm if this is definite.

I would recommend the DVD or preferably the Blu-Ray - it's a lovely production that deserves multiple viewings! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Someone earlier in the thread mentioned it is ‘with extras’ -does that mean it is the cinema relay version? I am not familiar with the timing of the new production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Great, so even Swan Lake gets relegated to BBC4 now - the last (Mariinsky) one was on BBC2, I seem to recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard LH Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Techno geeks may correct me, but I am thinking that for many of us it means any live TV viewing or recording of the TV transmission, on Christmas Day, won't be in HD due to the local transmitter not providing Freeview channel 106 (only channel 9); although presumably the programme will be in HD on the iPlayer for up to 30 days afterwards. After that, we will have to wait for the Blu-Ray to come out for HD viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much better these days to be able to view in high quality, and to record, or watch later online, programmes we can't see when broadcast. I really don't think nostalgia is what it used to be....😄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Pigeons Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I have just ploughed through 4 weeks of Radio Times but have been unsuccessful in finding An American in Paris. I may well be suffering from information overload so if anyone else spots it please let me know when it is due to appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
