"We're looking to return in 2025 with a refreshed and dynamic approach, bringing the World Ballet Day celebrations to even more people." With so many companies taking part in recent years, I'm sure there was a lot of audience splitting, particularly in the very crowded Central European time zone. https://worldballetday.com/ Link to comment
Novice123 Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 I was looking forward to this. Hopefully, it will be back bigger and better next year. Link to comment
volcanohunter Posted October 5 Author Share Posted October 5 As it is, the Royal Ballet livestreams rehearsals and special presentations regularly. I counted nine since the last World Ballet Day, with a tenth coming in a few days. These can often be more interesting than the quickie rehearsals of WBD. But I'm sure it's not cheap to produce, and some companies may think the cost is too high. Link to comment
