canbelto Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 I feel so incredibly lucky that we're going to get arguably the world's best Aurora and Giselle on film. Now if they'd release the Vishneva/Malakhov Giselle dvd in the U.S. that would be awesome. Link to comment
carbro Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 The production is probably about the best around these days and certainly worth preserving. The cast excellent. Let's just hope the photographers do it justice. :foot: And that once they do, the dvd is available worldwide! Link to comment
Joseph Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Indeed great! Do we know what the rest of the cast will be? Bluebird, etc. etc. etc.??? Link to comment
Jane Simpson Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 No - these days the RB doesn't announce any but the two leads in advance. But if they keep to the same casting as at the premiere of this production, Marianela Nunez will be the Lilac Fairy and Sarah Lamb and Yohei Sasaki will do the Bluebird pas de deux, with Genesia Rosato as Carabosse. I'd certainly put money on seeing Nunez and Lamb! So far as I remember, Nunez was also Myrthe in the performances of Giselle which were filmed. Link to comment
Grissi Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 When is it going to be released? Link to comment
art076 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 It is being televised on BBC in the UK during the month of January, but there is no indication whether or not it will be released on DVD. Many recent RB telecasts have been only that - telecasts, and even with rumors of DVD release, they haven't been out on DVD. So I wouldn't hold my breath yet... EDITED: I had originally written February, but it's in January. My faulty memory picked the wrong dates out of this BBC press release (February is the Stravinsky radio broadcasts): http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressrele...haikovsky.shtml Link to comment
Charming_Lise Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Sorry if this has been already mentioned guys. Johan has been injured so he was unable to perform Sleeping Beauty when it was filmed. Frederico Bonelli took his place. Link to comment

The Giselle telecast is going to be in November. But ... a Sleeping Beauty with Alina Cojocaru. I'm in heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I go mostly to Miss Cojocaru's performances with the Royal Ballet as she is for me something extraordinary. I can however assure you in SB, both Miss Lamb and Miss Asanelli gave more mature ballerina performances than Miss Cojocaru this season Link to comment
Charming_Lise Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 An intresting point made there. "Proud to be Von Rothbarts minion!" Link to comment
