  1. I wonder if, with the patchy distribution in North America and the possible reduction of DVD releases under Naxos, the Royal Ballet will eventually start streaming performances, for limited periods, the way Bolshoi and some companies in Europe are doing. That would be great. Would these broadcasts be of the same performances as the 1985 and 2000 DVDs? If they are, I'd be interested to hear why you prefer the earlier performances to the subsequent ones, especially since the two earlier ones are quite different from each other.
  2. And Flight Pattern (Pite) / Within the Golden Hour (Wheeldon) / New work (Cherkaoui) – 16 May 2019
  3. Thank you, volcanohunter. It was interesting to read about the earlier live relays. Were they screened live outside the UK as well? The date I have for this performance is 2 Dec 2009. I think I got it from here: https://www.roh.org.uk/showings/the-nutcracker-recorded-2009
  4. Thanks for this, sofiabn. I'd add: ---------------------------------------------------------- 2016.01.26 Rhapsody / The Two Pigeons - Osipova-McRae, Cuthbertson-Muntagirov 2018.03.27 Bernstein Centenary triple bill - Yugen (W McGregor) The Age of Anxiety (L Scarlett) Corybantic Games (C Wheeldon) ---------------------------------------------------------- The correct date for this is 2 November 2016. It was the first relay for the 2016-17 season. The cast was Cuthbertson as the Sugar Plum Fairy, Nehemiah Kish as her cavalier, Francesca Hayward as Clara and Campbell as Hans-Peter. I don't remember this being a live relay. It may have been shown later in some cinemas (I don't know), but I believe it was filmed for the DVD. For the first cinema season, the Royal Ballet showcased their heritage: the 19th-century classics, MacMillan and Ashton - The Sleeping Beauty, Romeo and Juliet and La Fille mal gardée, as you have on your list.
