The World Ballet Day live-stream on 1 October will see extraordinary and unprecedented access behind the scenes from five of the world’s leading ballet companies - The Royal Ballet, The Australian Ballet, Bolshoi Ballet, The National Ballet of Canada and San Francisco Ballet.
The day will begin in Sydney at 3am BST and finish in San Francisco at 11pm BST. Each Company will start their day with Class and then open their rehearsal studios to the cameras to see what really goes on in the hours before curtain up.
The Royal Ballet's section runs 11am-3pm BST and will be hosted by TV and radio presenter George Lamb.
During the four hours from Covent Garden, viewers around the world will see Carlos Acosta coach Principal Vadim Muntagirov in the role of Basilio in Don Quixote. Carlos's production was first performed to acclaim last year and will be revived by The Royal Ballet in November.
Principals Marianela Nuñez and Federico Bonelli will rehearse Kenneth MacMillan’s Manon in preparation for the ROH Live cinema screening being relayed around the world on Thursday 16 October.
Artist in Residence Liam Scarlett will rehearse his new work The Age of Anxiety with Principals Laura Morera and Steven McRae prior to its premiere on on Friday 7 November. The ballet is inspired by W.H. Auden’s poem about four disparate characters in a wartime New York bar trying to make sense of their shifting worlds.
The full Company will be seen in rehearsal for Artistic Associate Christopher Wheeldon’s latest one act work for The Royal Ballet, his award winning Aeternum, which had its premiere in 2013; and Frederick Ashton’s Scènes de ballet, the ballet Ashton himself claimed to be his favourite.
Company First Artist and choreographer Ludovic Ondiviela will rehearse his first Royal Ballet commission Cassandra which will have its premiere in October as part of the Company’s Linbury Studio Programme.
As well as rehearsals, artistic insights will also be given through interviews. Resident Choreographer Wayne McGregor will be interviewed about creating Woolf Works, his first full-length work for the Company based on the writings and life of the seminal English author Virginia Woolf; and Director of The Royal Ballet Kevin O’Hare will talk about what he and the Company are most excited about over the Season ahead.
Highlights from other companies include:
- The Australian Ballet will rehearse Graeme Murphy's Swan Lake, Stanton Welch's La Bayadère, Peter Wright's The Nutcracker and the company's world-premiere piece Ostinato by resident choreographer Tim Harbour. Artistic director David McAllister will be answering questions.
- The Bolshoi Ballet will rehearse Jean-Christophe Maillot's The Taming of the Shrew, and Yuri Grigorovich's Legend of Love.
- The National Ballet of Canada will rehearse Kenneth MacMillan's Manon with Anthony Dowell, the former Director of The Royal Ballet who had the role of Des Grieux created on him 40 years ago. The company will also rehearse John Neumeier's Nijinsky.
- San Francisco Ballet will rehearse Yuri Possokhov's RAkU, William Forsythe's The Vertiginous Thrill of Exactitude, scenes from Helgi Tomassón and Possokhov's Don Quixote and Tomassón's Concerto Grosso.
Exact timings will be available soon.
The day’s streaming will be repeated on YouTube in full, giving viewers around the world the opportunity to catch up on any parts of the day they missed.

Can´t wait for it! Really happy it will be repeated, i feared i would miss parts of the day. What excites me the most is that you will be showing Marianela Nunez rehearsing! She is a prima ballerina assoluta, and she deserves the recognition on the Royal Ballet's part. Even though i understand your need to showcase your other principals, Marianela should be even more featured, for she is your prima, undoubtedly the Royal's finnest ballerina and one of, if not even, the best in the world.
Please can you have a link on the site that allows us to access the footage after the event? For those of us at work, we'll miss the whole day otherwise!
Thanks
Hi,
We'll have highlights available afterwards - apologies, we're not able to offer the whole event on demand.
Thanks

Delighted to receive this notification from the Royal Ballet ... cannot wait to see Carlos Acosta as well as my local Australian Ballet from here in Melbourne. So excited to have access to such amazing works from the comfort of my own home!
Very excited! Can we see the entire day around the world on the roh site and utube address? if not is there another way of watching the rest of the world and is it available later, not keen on the 3am start. Also is the highlights list above, expressing the days order ie the Royals slot is after the bolshoi and before Canada?
Hi Kathryn,

We'll have highlights available afterwards (the Royal Ballet section begins at 11am BST, the order above is correct)
Thanks,

It is not possible to watch in Germany via youtube...
I am watching World Ballet Day (great!) and do not see any women choreographers represented-or Artistic Directors. You have many females participating and watching, so I hope in future this can be changed? Or can you do a segment now on women choreographers to supplement?
Hi Kathryn
The presenter in the section from The Royal Ballet is Kristen McNally and she is a choreographer. You can watch her at work here:
