A few words on the repetoire:

The Wish was danced by Greve and Gitte Lindström a few years back. Nomads has also been in the repetoire with Tina Højlund as the female lead. Neumeier Adagetto was performed mostly as part of his Mahler Ballet but sometimes as a galla piece. It was the one where Arlene Croce reviewed as Middleaged dancers dance when it was made for Erick Bruhn and Makarova. It has been danced ny Schandorff and Greve last time around. Claire Henriksen is Claire Still, who got married recently

Which role will she dance? I can see her in either the Tema Russo or the Waltz, where she would be lovely in a completely unBalanchine way. But my prejudice in the centennial year would be to see companies with a strong native style do pieces like Serenade their way. It's more than sturdy and ripe enough to handle it. What fun to see a Paris Serenade, one in the RDB style, the Kirov style, English. . .

I found this press release on another (non-dance) site. The repertoire and dancers have been updated; Nikolaj Hubbe will be appearing.
