Acosta's Carmen, as is well known by now, has received poor reviews, but this performance should be of interest to his fans it will be his last broadcast with the Royal Ballet. This is essentially his farewell production.

Participating cinemas in Europe will be screening the program live, except in Finland and Bulgaria; presumably the two-hour time difference makes live screenings from the U.K. impractical.

In the U.S., some Cinemark Cinemas will have a same-day screening on the evening of November 12, and the really nutty thing is that at many locations, the Royal Ballet will be going head-to-head with Ballet Hispanico, whose program also includes a version of Carmen.

Yes, in the United States a number of Cinemark cinemas will be screening both programs on November 12 at 7:00 pm making it physically impossible to see both, unless a person were to sneak into the other auditorium during intermission breaks to catch a glimpse of the other program. And both performances include a version of Carmen, which could really confuse cashiers at ticket counters.

It's absurd. The Ballet Hispanico program was recorded months ago; the Royal Ballet program is time-delayed in the U.S. There's no good reason why they should be showing at the exact same time.

I am going to see Ballet Hispanics tonight. Last time I went to see Alvin Ailey, which was a very fresh experience to me. Although I didn;t really like Chroma that I felt I was watching a figure skating competition, its fun to watch Grace and Revelations.

For ROH, I bet on that ROH might release a DVD for their Carmen and Afternoon of a Faun. :flowers:

Fiddlesticks -- this is listed on the ROH website for a Sunday 3 January screening in Redmond (suburb outside of Seattle) but when I called the theater to confirm they don't have anything scheduled. I was really hoping to see Viscera. I haven't seen much of Scarlett's work and this seems to have a very mixed reception.

After watching Acosta's Carmen earlier today, I'm just dying to know whether it will be released on DVD. Does anyone know?

I absolutely loved it. I can understand why it would get poor reviews from some, but the aesthetic really appealed to me and it reminded me in atmosphere and expression of a lot of the works Hübbe has put up here in Denmark. I found it brilliant, to say the least.
