Available where and how? I can't see it on YouTube .
Couldn't find it on youtube either, I watched it on their Facebook page.
Hi Julia,
This isn't available on YouTube - we streamed the rehearsal live on Facebook. It's available to watch on demand on this page, or on our Facebook page.
Many thanks,
Mel
Thanks for this insight, again. In this one I got to understand so many details which one really never suspects they exist when one watches the ballet. Besides, one can appreciate how Macmillan used each movement of choreography as a mean of expression throughout the whole ballet.
Please continue to present these insights. They're not only valuable but fun to watch.
Neither can I.
Every time you advertise a live streaming of an Insight or rehearsal, I can never manage to watch it live. As I am never able to get tickets to these events these days (being a basic Friend), it would be nice to be able to take a glimpse online.
Please can you list the steps I have to take to be able to view a rehearsal live?
Thank you.
Please put these on You Tube. Had to watch on my tiny Kindle screen - not a good experience
I enjoyed watching this rehearsal through this website on my laptop. However, I'd have preferred it on youtube which I could see on the television. I can't get facebook on my TV, or at least I don't know how to!
Tried to watch it on my TV but got a message telling me it 'couldn't be embedded '! Please, please ROH out insights on You Tube as you have in the past.
I too am desperate to see these Insights and can never get tickets (as a mere friend I know!). I assume you need to be on a much higher 'friend level'??
How can I try and see more!!?
Sarah
Hi Sarah,
Insight events experience extremely high demand for tickets but do keep an eye out. As with this Manon rehearsal, we also stream a number via our YouTube channel:

A complete waste of my time as it 'couldn't be embedded' whatever that is !!!!!
Still no luck - I went to the ROH Facebook page with several Insight programmes, but no Manon.
The other page required one to have a facebook page oneself. Does anyone still want that, after all that data theft?
And why NOT on You tube? What's the reason for that?
..
I can't watch it on my computer thus listen through a good sound system. Instead I have to look at it on my phone with the phone's little speaker. What a disappointment! I hope you don't use Facebook again as it means those of us who don't want to be followed or have our friends details stolen can't see it!
It's best to watch this on the website a few hours after it's finished. That was a fun Insight evening! I'm sure the use of Facebook is useful for generating audience numbers but it requires you to switch on apps and given Facebook's recent data theft & hacking scandals, youtube might be a safer bet for getting a live audience.
