Andre Yew Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I was just doing my weekly browsing of Opus Arte's website (opusarte.com), and noticed that the recent broadcast of the Royal Ballet's La Fille Mal Garde with Marianela Nunez and Carlos Acosta is due for release in June! I think Nunez plays this role to perfection, and Carlos wasn't too bad either. I hope this is just the first of many releases of the fine broadcasts they have: Giselle with Cojocaru/Kobborg, Sleeping Beauty with Kojocaru and Nunez's incredible Lilac Fairy, perhaps Darcey Bussell's awesome Song of the Earth. I also hope we can see these releases on Blu Ray. --Andre Link to comment

Andre Yew Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 Nope --- he gets the one-handed lift. Also, I've heard that the BluRay version is currently not in the pipeline. --Andre Link to comment
art076 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 The documentary was filmed the season after this was recorded, so no botched lift here. Link to comment

James Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 True happiness doesn't come fom love or zen, I now know it is imprinted in plastic and is called Royal Ballet's La Fille Mal Gardée. Seriously, everytime I watch this video I end up with a wide smile of pleasure on my face, this ballet being so well danced, so funny, in perfect taste and with good picture and sound (colours a bit too bright ?).

Memo Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Just bought a copy of the La Fille and RB Sleeping beauty with Cojucaru and Bonelli cant wait to see it. All DVD's multi format which is helpful. Link to comment
Andre Yew Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 Opus Arte just announced the Blu-Ray version of the Nunez/Acosta Fille for February 2009. Hope it won't be too long before it's available in the US. --Andre Link to comment
