Are they the casts per the released DVDs or the casts per later Cinema live transmissions (often never or not yet available on DVD) ?

I'm always interested in seeing different casts in the same productions but already have the released DVDs. I suspect I am not alone.

Is it possible to receive Sky Arts 2 broadcasts in Kenya, where I live. Is there re-transmission by satellite? Specifically, I understand that 'Bolshoi Unseen' presented by Deborah Bull will be repeated in August. When will that be?

Many thanks, Barrie Thomas.

  Hi Barrie,
  
  We'd suggest contacting Sky or your local satellite provider for this information. We're not aware of the transmission date for the Bolshoi programme and would recommend keeping an eye on Sky's website:

Hi,

Are there any Royal Ballet productions being shown on Sky Arts throughout this later portion of the year?
