volcanohunter Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Thank you for this information, @Lynette H. I am glad to read that the Royal Ballet plans to continue streaming, because for several years nearly all of North America has been without the Royal Ballet in cinemas. (Indeed, Canadian cinemas have also abandoned the Bolshoi, which had been screening in Canada from 2010 until the pandemic struck.) For many of us, streaming is now our only option short of visiting London in person. Link to comment
