  1. Finally found someone who agrees with me about the party scene and Robbins’ mice! Jayne, you are not alone.
  2. And the Royal Ballet stream was much better than ABT live. I can’t imagine that Woolf Works will be any different.
  3. A corollary to that might be to leave Balanchine to City Ballet. And visiting “Balanchine companies.”
  4. Fairchild rehearsed T&V yesterday with Gordon
  5. Getting worse. In some programs they have substituted 2 of the 3 leads in Etudes. Also I had thought one possible reason for the Titania switch could be they are using the three weeks to get another Oberon ready and don’t want to announce it till they are sure. It doesn’t look that way now.
  6. I don’t understand the Titania switch. Gillian was already dancing only with Camargo. So what does this accomplish other than irritate those who already bought tickets? Gillian also dropped her Swan in the summer but she had an injury then. And as far as Cassie adjusting, she has three weeks to adjust.
  7. Aurora, i think we may just have different views about “dance theater” but in any event I certainly didn’t and don’t mean to offend. Sorry if I did.
  8. Not sure we are talking about the same thing, but in any event note phrase “more and more.”
  9. Mearns was one of the best things in Red Shoes. i sincerely hope next year’s ABT Summer programming is more thought out. I hope they are not planning to dilute their storied history even more than they already have with more and more “dance theater.” Among other things, the vacuum created by the drop off in foreign tours to New York City makes it more important than ever for ABT to be viable and attractive.
  10. It boggles the mind not only that LWFC is scheduled for so many performances but that ABT didn’t make sure streaming rights would commence only after the run. This imo is a problem on the business side, not the artistic. Nobody here wants ABT to disappear from New York. I think we are only wondering how they can make a better go of it. And sure I understand many people will not be deterred from attending a live performance (or multiple performances) by the stream but it speaks to classically poor management.
  11. I’m concerned about Ratmansky’s rep at ABT now that he has moved across the plaza.
  12. I guess Peck’d taking that BS about him being Robbins successor seriously 😂😱 (Goldberg)
