volcanohunter Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Decca will be releasing MacMillan's Romeo and Juliet, starring Tamara Rojo and Carlos Acosta, on DVD and Blu-ray on August 25. Amazon is taking pre-orders. Juliet - Tamara Rojo Romeo - Carlos Acosta Mercutio - José Martín Tybalt - Thiago Soares Benvolio - Yohei Sasaki Paris - David Pickering Lord Capulet - Christopher Saunders Lady Capulet - Elizabeth McGorian Escalus - Gary Avis Rosaline - Christina Arestis Nurse - Sandra Conley Friar Laurence - Alastair Marriott Lord Montague - Alastair Marriott Lady Montague - Francesca Filpi Harlots - Laura Morera, Isabel McMeekan, Sian Murphy Mandolin Dance - Steven McRae Well, it's about time. Decca has been sitting on this for quite a while. http://ballettalk.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=27035 Link to comment
Wedgewes Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Does anyone know what happened with this title, I had placed it in my wish list to purchase later and now Amazon is showing the DVD release date as December 31, 2020 Link to comment
volcanohunter Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 That is peculiar. The title has also disappeared from British, French, German and Japanese Amazon. It's still listed for release on August 25 on Canadian Amazon, so hopefully that odd new release date is just a typo. For what it's worth, the booklet to the Mariinsky's new 'Don Quixote' lists 'Romeo and Juliet' among other Decca ballet releases. Link to comment
Helene Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I think that is the default date when there is no date. I would guess that they removed the original date and haven't updated it with the new one, and that the update to "blank" was done through a feed process. Link to comment
Wedgewes Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 What is even stranger, now that the release date is gone they release the artwork for the dvd. Link to comment
4mrdncr Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Is Decca under Opus Arte? I thought OA was owned by the ROH (or whoever is over them) and usually releases RB dvds? Let's see what happens in a few weeks. Link to comment
cinnamonswirl Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I believe Acosta has an exclusive contract with Decca. Link to comment
Wedgewes Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 FYE shows the 8-25-09 release date for the Blu-ray and a date of 9-29-09 for DVD. Amazon still hasn't updated with a release date but hopefully this means decca decided to delay a month on the dvd. Link to comment
volcanohunter Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 The American release date has been revised to September 29, 2009 on Amazon.com, and orders can once again be placed. Link to comment
