2014 : 'CHÉRI' DE ROLAND PETIT, DANSÉ PAR MATHIEU GANIO ET ISABELLE CIARAVOLA
Beautiful pas de deux from Roland Petit's Chéri with Isabelle Ciaravola and Mathieu Ganio
Bolshoi Sleeping Beauty & Swan Lake
The Bolshoi will be streaming their Sleeping Beauty live to cinemas around the world on January 22. In Canada, Cineplex theatres will be showing the ballet starting at 1255 pm.

A repeat of the Bolshoi's Swan Lake  (a pretty vile production in my opinion), starring Svetlana Zakharova (Odette/Odile) and Denis Rodkin (Prince Siegfried), will be broadcast in most countries on February 5 and in Cineplex theatres in Canada on Sunday February 12 at 1255.

To find a Cineplex showing the Bolshoi near you, click here and fill in the name of your city and the name of the ballet.

Free livestream of The Snow Queen from Finnish National Ballet

Lumikuningatar / The Snow Queen (Suomen Kansallisbaletti / Finnish National Ballet) HD
This ballet is a kind of Nutcracker substitute, with much more dancing in the second act than in the first. A narrator is part of the cast, so there is quite a bit of talking (in Finnish, naturally). You probably need to read the synopsis here to understand what's going on.
