I have seen excerpts about “Ragtime, the Musical” on YouTube. It’s hosted by Whoopie Goldberg and ends by saying go to http://www.pbs.com for more. I cannot find it anywhere on your site. Where is it?

I loves me some Levon. Please show it again. Levon: unleash Garth.

I still have not been able to find “Ragtime” the Changing Times about the 1900 and the ethic and cultural changes happening in America with Jewish, Anglo-Saxon Protestants, and African-Americans during the early 1900’s.
Looking to purchase a dvd of “Levon Helm ramble at the Ryman” can anyone help
My request goes back a few years ago. It was documentary/bio of the group “The Mamas and Papas” where Michele Phillips narrated the majority of the show. Will that ever be aired again and if so – when? It would mean alot to me.
Gosh, why do they have them listed under “episodes” and then it turns out they’re all previews and introductions?
When will “The Audition” air again?

I would like to purchase a DVD of the Levon Helm Ramble At The Ryman show that I saw on WNJN, a local PBS station, recently. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
When will the Great Performances Hamlet by the Royal Shakespeare
Company be aired on GPTV,Cox cable,Macon ??? I have tried to look
it up as prescribed in Members Matter to no avail.
Charles,
It’s always a good idea to check your local listings (make sure to designate your local station as your home station on PBS.org), but Hamlet by the RSC is a national program scheduled to be broadcast on Wednesday, April 28 at 8pm. We hope you stay tuned for the program. Thank you for your interest in GREAT PERFORMANCES.
Are you guys going to re-play Levon Helm’s “Ramble at the Ryman”? If not, can we not at least buy a copy? I just returned to Raleigh after seeing the Ramble at the Ryman II in Nashville last night, and flew up in Sept ‘08 to see the first. Why is PBS taking so long to repeat the August ‘09 airing or – at least – making it available to purchase?? Even Levon himself has weighed in above about this. Frankly, you are depriving so many folks who couldn’t be there for either show the opportunity to see one class act . . . and a great, great show!
At this ionstant, Channel 13 in NYC is broadcasting GP at the Met Der Rosenkavalier, and I search and search the site to find full cast and production info WITH NO SUCCESS. IT DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE LIST AT ALL, EVEN THOUGH IT CLEARLY EXISTS. WHY ISN’T IT HERE? HOW CAN i FIND IT?
Thank you, Mary R……I’m doing the same thing, also looking for Rosenkavalier cast etc. and don’t understand why it’s NOWHERE!!!! You’d think it would have been there BEFORE today’s airing. Such a magnificent performance……I wish the Met would release it on DVD. BUT PLEASE, PBS, GET YOUR WEB SITE UP TO DATE!!!
I am watching rosenkavalier now on channel 13. I assume a repeat and again I can not find the cast anywhere. There is a link on the first page on the channel 13 website, but when you click on it, it sends you to PBS.org, which I already searched and there is also no mention of Rosenkavalier at all! I tried to watch for the cast at the end of the performance, but it goes by too fast. VERY FRUSTRATING!!
Dear Avery,
Please find the press release for our broadcast of Great Performances at the Met: Der Rosenkavalier by clicking here. The release contains production information about the cast as well as a preview of the opera. Thank you for your comment and we hope you stay tuned for more GREAT PERFORMANCES.
PBS is ALWAYS in need of more cash, right?
For crying out loud, release a DVD of Levon Helm’s “Ramble at the Ryman” and I bet you make your money in the first week. The rest will be all profit!
Heya i’m for the first time here. I found this board and I find It really useful & it helped me out a lot. I hope to give something back and help others like you helped me.
I am looking for a copy of a dance performance from at least 20 or 25 years ago – San Francisco Ballet’s Prokofiev’s Romeo & Juliet. Does it exist? I know I saw it on TV and was sure it must be PBS, probably Dance in America series
This is a wonderful post, I located your blog searching yahoo for a similar subject and arrived to this. I couldnt find to much different material on this piece of writing, so it was wonderful to find this one. I definitely will be back again to look at some other posts that you have another time.
I wonder if you can help me? I am looking for a play that appeared on PBS six years ago, I think. Its about a soldier who is in love with a married women, however his commander ill and older sister is in love with him. She wants to be with him but he refuses. He wants to be with the other woman but she refuses to leave her husband. In the end he realized the older sister really loves him and he decides to be with her. However the commander is not happy and challenges him to a duel. They both survive but the older sister dies from her illness. At the end of the play she writes him a letter. I think it as called Beloved, I’m not sure and I can’t find it. Please help.
Important?…
Is this really important?…
I was hoping that someone with PBS could help me find a 1986 production of the Kirov Ballet performing Swan Lake in the United States. It was presented by Wolf Trap and was filmed by the Maryland Public Television station. The lead ballerina was not the usual one mentioned, but instead was Olga Tcheytchikova, and I believe she might have been an understudy. The late president Ronald Regan does the introduction and throughout the artistic director Oleg Vinogradov and the lead ballerina are interviewed. There are also small clips of backstage moments. I have been trying for years to find this particular production, because it is so near and dear to my heart. At the age of 3 my mother recorded the original airing of the program and I wore out the tape and had every step memorized. It was so well done, and other versions filmed in Russia are no where near as good. This production is the reason that I danced for more than 14 years and dreamed of being that prima ballerina. Can anyone help me find and purchase this? I want to be able to share it with my own 3 daughters who share as much of a love and passion for ballet as I do.
Rebecca I’m looking for the same Swan Lake recording :) My father recorded it for us, but the tape is all worn out and I am dying for a copy of it!
I have missed out on so many of the wonderful opera performances. Cought Don Pasquale at 6AM!!!! Why don’t you advertise the Opera performances BETTER?
Is Jackie Evancho, the 10 year old singer extrordinaire ever going to be shown in concert in the future.

You will do great Kim, I am sure!
In memory of the recent passing of Levon Helm, please show Ramble at the Ryman soon! Thanks.
I’ve been looking for new programming with Andrea Bocelli, so many American’s love his music! Thanks!
