Art lovers rejoice. Marquee TV, a streaming platform for arts and culture, has announced new content partnerships that will make it possible for more people all over the globe to watch more top-notch artistic productions.
On Monday, Marquee announced that the Washington Ballet and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment have joined the streamer as content partners, joining the London Symphony Orchestra and the London Philharmonic Orchestra. These organizations present digital seasons — including world premieres — exclusively on the platform. Every single creative partner of Marquee TV has a devoted on-platform presence that will include unique performances.
A subscription to Marquee TV costs $8.99 per month or $89.99 annually, both after a seven-day free trial. You can sign up for the service directly, or through Prime Video Channels, which launched the service in March 2022.
Some of the upcoming programming from Marquee TV’s new partners includes:
-
The Washington Ballet: Four world premieres with choreography by Andile Ndlovu, Silas Farley, and Dana Genshaft were commissioned by The Washington Ballet. They were recorded in a joint effort with Marquee TV and will be added to the player in early March. Subscribers can already view the company’s rendition of “Fanfare for the Common Man,” which was choreographed by Silas Farley and starred Gian Carlo Perez.
-
The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment: The Orchestra has produced internal, high-caliber films and concert footage. The Orchestra’s performance of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s epic poem “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” will be added to the site soon. Also coming is an all-Mahler program conducted by Ádám Fischer, including Symphony No. 4, the Adagietto from Symphony No. 5, and “Des Knaben Wunderhorn” with soprano soloist Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha.
Marquee TV has also secured content deals with The Atlanta Opera, Fall For Dance North, and Terminus Modern Ballet Theatre.
