The Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) has announced that the Genee International Ballet Competition Final will be live streamed from the Sydney Opera House, as it takes place on 11 December 2016. Hosted by Australian TV Presenter and Dancing with the Stars 2015 winner Emma Freedman, the live stream, which will be available through paid-for access via the RAD website, will give viewers the opportunity to virtually attend the Genee final, from 6.30pm AEDT on on 11 December, as well as access exclusive content including interviews, special behind the scenes footage and backstage coverage during intervals.
The broadcast coverage of the final will remain online for a limited time for live stream viewers to watch the competition at their convenience and in different time zones or to watch it again in the comfort of their own home and replay favourite moments. Audiences watching the live stream in real time will also have the chance to cast their vote for their favourite dancer to win the Dame Margot Fonteyn Audience Choice Award via an online polling system on the RAD website. All viewers will be able to download a copy of the Genée Souvenir Programme.
The Online Live Streaming, hosted by Emma Freedman, can be accessed via a paid for link for $30 (RAD members can login to the members' area for a discounted rate).
