Thanks for posting about this. The book looks interesting - I have been to this shop when I was 16, and was in awe of everything. I bought my first "Bayadere" cd there as at the time it was rare to find a recording of it.

Great KSK!

Great, Vicki! Thanks Barbara, I think it is meaning his debut in "Ballet in Cinema."

Check it out! Hope everyone can make it! To order tickets, click here: http://www.balletincinema.com/titles/the-sleeping-beauty-bolshoi/

I can't wait to get this! After reading Krasovskya's, "Vaganova: A Dance Journey from Leningrad to Petersburg" I was hoping to have a more recent book with emphasis on the actual schooling and thoughts from others. This is exciting indeed!

Hi Everyone, For those of you in NY, just letting you know that we will be having a second encore presentation of the Bolshoi Ballet's "Coppelia" this Thursday, August 25th at 7PM at BAM. Tickets are $24, $22 for BAM Cinema Members. It really is a nice production, with some very nice behind the scenes footage, including sneek peeks at the renovation process for the opening of the actual Bolshoi Theatre in November! (Which we will be screening live, aside a performance of Sleeping Beauty, more on that later!) Here is a link to more info about this Thursday's broadcast: http://www.bam.org/view.aspx?pid=3496 And, here is a link to a very favorable review of our live broadcast of "Coppelia" in May: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/31/arts/dance/natalia-osipova-and-the-bolshoi-live-from-moscow-review.html?_r=1 As always, let me know if you have any questions!

Yes, absolutely. In fact I recommend you do BOTH. Contact your theater and then contact us with that same theater - so then when we contact them, it is like "Oh, what a coincidence..." Yes, you can certainly contact your local theater and ask them to contact us - that would be great! Keep me posted and let me know what else I can do to help!

Yes this is the correct website. Getting the word out is one of, if not the toughest challange for Emerging Pictures. I would like to secure more venues as well, but it really comes from the audience to contact their theatres and demand that it be brought to them. If the theatre knows their local public has interest, they will most likely try to get our services. The movie theater selects which offerings they would like to show. While we can suggest or recommend some over others, ultimately it is up to the theater to decide which ballets and / or how many ballets they will show in a season. Of course, say if you want to have "Children of Paradise" or for example "Swan Lake" it is always a good thing to let your theatre know that specifically and you can also let us know as well for future purposes. If the theatre sees enough potential interest in one ballet, they will most likely screen it at some point. And we can also do a lot of convincing on our end as well

Let me know if you have any questions about our offerings. I work for Emerging Cinemas and am focussed on the "Ballet in Cinema" productions. Best, Joseph

Just to remind everyone - TODAY, JULY 9, there will be a live broadcast of Jose Martinez's "Children of Paradise," a ballet based on the film of the same name. It is being broadcast LIVE from the Paris Opera Ballet. For NY audiences it is being shown at the BIG Cinemas Manhattan, at 239 E 59th street, between 2nd and 3rd avenue at 1:30 PM. There will also be an encore screening on Sunday, June 17 as some theaters do not have the proper equipment to handle LIVE broadcasts. Usually, depending on the cinemas, these screenings are slightly cheaper. But, it is always exciting to see it live!

No Problem - and I meant March, 2011 - just fixed it! Thank you for sharing this information.

Hi Everyone, For those of you who missed the March 2011 live broadcast of the Bolshoi Ballet's Don Quixote with Natalia Osipova and Ivan Vasiliev, here is a chance to see an encore at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM.) (Or if you just really want to see it again!) It will be on Thursday, July 21 and begin at 7:00 PM. Tickets are $24 or $22 if you are a "friend of BAM" or "BAM cinema club member." It will played in the Rose Cinema at BAM. Here is a link - let me know if you have any questions! http://www.bam.org/view.aspx?pid=3382 Joseph

These are great - is this whole video available anywhere? (I mean the full "Raymonda" recording of this sound-stage performance?)

This is funny - I forgot all about that!

When is this out - I would love to see Judas Tree as I have read so much about it!

Thank you Helene!

Sorry, what is the V & A?

Any word as to whether or not this will be released commercially?

Anyone know if POB Nutcracker is released yet on DVD or how to get it? Saw some clips on YouTube, dancers look great! Thanks!

How much do tickets cost for this? Do they sometimes offer student discounts? Or, can you give me a link to it? Sounds interesting to learn about the process!

wait has this also changed the format?

I like this notion - I had no idea that happened in the original!

Why did Petipa use the same variation for both ballets? Or perhaps it was not Petipa, but does anyone know? I know there are slight changes in the arms, etc. but a colleague of mine and I got into a discussion about it to no avail... Surely someone here knows as usual...

John Neuemier's version "Illusions Like Swan Lake" uses I believe pretty much all of that music in the ballet. Not sure about Dance Russe though, actually perhaps not. But interesting how he uses the Drigo orchestrations normally in Act IV in Act I for variations.

Anyone know? It is a DVD out.
