I think it was during the Live in HD transmission of the "Iolanthe"/"Bluebeard's Castle" from the Met that there was a discussion about how "Iolanthe" and "Nutcracker" were composed to be companion pieces.

Yes, they premiered together in 1892. Neither could be called full-length by Tchaikovsky standards, although individually they are, perhaps, well suited to today's shorter attention spans.

I love the fact that you can buy a number/selection of screenings at a reduced price or you can buy all sixteen for 220 Euros (or 13.17 Euros a shot). That would be £9.96 or $15 USA. I wish they would do this in the UK where they do not even have a fixed price for the noted arts screenings between different cinema chains ... and prices can even alter between the same chain's cinemas in different parts of the country.

QUESTION: Are the relays from France screened in the USA and Canada? Some years ago there were at my local in the UK but sadly these were discontinued as I don't think they got very large audiences. Occasionally you can see them at the French Institute in London - but that is only ever a very select few - and inevitably all operatic items.
