The Bolshoi’s version of Swan Lake is about to hit movie houses nationwide as part of Emerging Pictures’ Ballet in Cinema series. This broadcast stars Mariya Aleksandrova and Ruslan Skvortsov. Haven’t ever seen either dancer so I’m excited. Plus, the versions all have their subtle differences, particularly in the various endings, so I find them all interesting to watch. This is a high definition broadcast but it’s recorded (performance was September 2010), not live. So the showtimes and dates vary. In Manhattan, the showing is taking place this Sunday, the 19th, at the Manhattan Big Cinemas. Visit the Emerging Pictures website to find a location near you.
Giselle Live-Streamed into Theaters – This Time by the Bolshoi and the Royal
A reminder that Emerging Pictures will be live-streaming two different productions of Giselle into movie theaters around the world in the next couple of weeks.
On January 19th, the Royal Ballet’s production will be live-streamed from London, and on January 23rd, the Bolshoi’s will air live from Moscow.
If you’re in New York, the showing on the 19th is at 2:30 p.m. at the Manhattan Big Cinemas. It will also be shown later that evening at 7:00 p.m. at Symphony Space (the latter showing will obviously be recorded from earlier in the day).
On January 23rd, the showing in New York will be at the Manhattan Big Cinemas at 11:00 a.m.
If you’re outside of New York, check the website for times and theater locations near you.
