Dale Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 From NYCB: TREE LIGHTING On Wednesday, December 3, NYCB Principal Dancer Maria Kowroski and students from the School of American Ballet will be featured as part of the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony at New York City’s Rockefeller Center. The dancers will perform an excerpt from George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker ™. The ceremony will be broadcast in the New York metropolitan area on WNBC (Channel 4) from 7:00-9:00pm. It is expected that this segment will appear in the first hour of the telecast. Link to comment
Dale Posted December 3, 2003 Author Share Posted December 3, 2003 Just bumping this up. It's really cold here in New York, but I hope we won't be seeing Kowroski in ballet sneakers The segment is supposed to take place (on NBC starting at 7pm) in the first hour. Link to comment
Dale Posted December 4, 2003 Author Share Posted December 4, 2003 Kowroski was very sweet in the Act II solo. And for once, the TV camera crew didn't ruin these sort of Nutcracker appearances by pulling in for toeshoe closeups or cut away shots of smilying children (no offense intended). I couldn't tell if the little performance was done outdoors or inside, but you could hear the crowd whistle etc... So kudos for Kowroski for braving the cold. I hope she doesn't get sick.
