Oh no, I've only just seen this this post. I look out for the Aids Gala every year as I've really enjoyed it in the past, but I didn't notice it in the schedule. It's been broadcast earlier than usual this time. Fingers crossed it's repeated.

(Did they have the wonderful deadpan Max Raabe presenting again?)

A must see here..

Gounod’s Faust– New Production

December 10, 2011, 12:55 pm ET

So 21.15 UK time excellent!

Faust on 10th will be good too! Loving this time of year for all these

20:15 CET = 19.15 UK time....

Because we watch/record mainly German and French channels on our box I actually set the clock an hour ahead of UK time so that I don't have to do the conversion all the time.

plan to do your trick! Always get confused with the different zones though lol. thanks

The UK cinemas are listing it as starting at 18.00.

I'd really like to catch this one, "Faust" is a favourite of mine.

It works for me, I got fed up missing the start of things or worse a whole hour.


Yes the Met broadcasts are... hopefully my box will catch it and just as importantly STOP when it's finished. When it's recording in HD it soon fills the disk up if the damn thing doesn't stop as it's done a couple of times now.

Don't forget it's Faust TODAY

Already prepaired

The signal should be starting up any time now.

It's listed in the BBC radio 3 schedule as 18.00 - 22.10 by the way.

Edited to add I've got it.

Atlantic Bird 5W
11592 H
25780

Yes French and Spanish subtitle versions... I've gone for French.

I haven't bothered checking 0.8W which usually carries English subtitles as the signal was poor the last couple of times I tried. People with bigger dishes might have more luck...

Fine on 0.8W with English subtitles. Not overly keen on the production but the singing and acting was brilliant.

THURSDAY, 15 DECEMBER

Another chance to see: Bryn Terfel sings the Bad Boys Arte 06:00, 45 min, I quite enjoyed this...

Did you catch Seeping Beauty from the ROH the other night?

NO, i was unfortunalty in Manchester during this but i Wanted to so bad. I hope it will be repeated at some point during xmas. Was it good?

I haven't watched it myself yet other the quick preview to make sure it recorded... It's more for my wife TBH but I quite get into it once I start watching, it's actually quite therapeutic and I love the music..
