A live transmission is starting right now, and I'm not being blocked. But if you miss it, the site promises that the performance will be available on demand for the next six months.

Hey, that was quick. Dances is available on demand already, so Psyche should be up soon, too.

Excellent, Volcanohunter! Very pleased to see the Robbins ballet is available.

Thank you very much! I just watched Psyche--which I found mostly wonderful (though a bit lacking in some story telling elements, particularly in the set-up). At least as best one can judge via video. Would love a chance to see it in the theater. Have not gotten round to the Robbins just yet.

I quite enjoyed Dupont in Dances although her stage time is relatively short in this role - she exudes confidence, and has that "I own this place" quality which just made me smile. It seems many years have to pass before a dancer reaches that level of self-esteem, and they can just dance unhindered.
