Gramilano tells us that tonight at 6PM Italian time (12 Noon NYC), there will be a digital stream of a UN La Scala documentary-dance gala. Gramilano, who Haglund reads every single day, says:
On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Foundation of the United Nations, Teatro alla Scala, following on the initiative of the Italian Permanent Representation to the United Nations, together with the Founder and main Partner of the bank Intesa Sanpaolo’s Season, has made a documentary on dance with the participation of the theatre’s étoile Roberto Bolle, the principal dancers and La Scala’s corps de ballet.
The video will be broadcast at the New York Glass Palace tonight, 22 October at 6.00 pm (Italian time) and streamed on:
The program will include Claudio Coviello dancing an excerpt from Nureyev's Act II of Sleeping Beauty and Nicoletta Manni & Roberto Bolle in Swan Lake Act III.
Please, can anyone identify the music used in L'Altro Casanova? The performance was incredibly beautiful.

Antonio Vivaldi, Gian Francesco Malipiero, Tomaso Albinoni, Petr Eben, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Luigi Boccherini, Alfred Schnittke.
I imagine that the concert will be available online for viewing eventually. The UN posted its 2019 birthday concert but I don't how long after the original date.

Thanks, Haglund. Enjoyed this, which apparently was shown only once (the livestream) & won’t be repeated...although past concerts are available...but rights seem to be especially sticky when dance is concerned. Who knows if it may appear later?
The music to the portion of L’ALTRO CASANOVA that was shown is by Vivaldi, as per the final rolling credits.
Coming today, streaming for a few days only: Sarasota Ballet’s first digital-season program of All-Ashton excerpt (for fee)...to which I’ve subscribed in hope a catching a full ballet or two later. Yeah, yeah...I’m getting really tired of bits & pieces! Remember last spring & early summer when COMPLETE ballets were streamed? And I don’t mean the shorter Balanchine PDFs like Balanchine’s TARANTELLA or TIN SOLDIER or Ashton’s THAIS pdd.
