The Royal Opera House is to link up with Facebook on World Ballet Day 2016 for the longest broadcast ever shown on the social media platform.
For World Ballet Day Live, now in its third year, the Royal Ballet will broadcast live rehearsals and classes alongside pre-recorded footage including backstage preparations.
The event, which is live-streamed continuously for 20 hours, is a collaboration between five leading international companies, including the Australian Ballet, the Bolshoi Ballet, the National Ballet of Canada and San Francisco Ballet, alongside the Royal Ballet.
