YOU may watch it on the Internet, but the clip is an excerpt from a three-hour ORF broadcast produced, filmed and aired by Austrian TV station ORF. It's copyrighted and belongs to ORF. Since they own it, they can do whatever they want. Also, whilst this is a ballet performance, the event filmed is the Vienna Opera Ball, the highlight of Vienna's ball season. BTW, I am a classically trained ballet dancer, so I know proper decorum, but people don't go to this to watch the dancers' performance.
Es handelt sich um eine Fernsehuebertragung des ORF und in Oesterreich spricht man eben deutsch, deshalb die Kommentare fuer das Fernsehpublikum mit Hintergrundinformationen. It's a TV presentation, and the commentators are doing their job. It's for a German-speaking audience, hence it's in German.
Manuel Legris has a lot of work in front of him to bring this company to a worldwide level! My god! feet not extended, stiffness and absence of elegance! Just imagine what the Paris opera house ballet company would bring to this performance. As for the speakers if they could shut up with their void comments and let us at least listen to the music!
Ich weiss auch nicht, warum hier so viele wegen der Kommentare meckern und maulen, ich mag den Kari Hohenlohe und den Wagner-Trenkwitz. Die Komemntare sind witzig und unterhaltsam.
Normally the comments come beforewards. Supose you are at the theater, and there is someone beside you that keeps talking all the time during a presentation. It looks the same situation. It's completely unpleasent and impossible to concentrate on the performance... Sorry, it's only a comment!
It is a RU-vid mp4 presentation on the INTERNATIONAL Internet. German is NOT an international language. It is NOT presented on Television where I view it. I am viewing it from Australia. In any case, if I attended a Ballet Performance I would not like someone jabbering away during the performance. Bad manners. Ballet links body movement to music. Talking over classical ballet music is disruptive regardless of any language used for commentary.
I agree totally with Mr. Richard Boudville. Commentary in whatever language is an abomination when you have a ballet performance with music. It remains ruined for me. Austria TV ORF should learn some manners.
