Giannina Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Well, whadaya know! Sat night finally got a stellar cast. However Yoshida as Giselle is not to be missed. In truth every day looks good, tho I don't know how much Cinderella I can take. Great fun! Giannina Link to comment
socalgal Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 I was hoping for something besides "Cinderella"........ :shrug: And no Darcy Bussell...... I guess I was hoping for one of their mixed rep programs to be included.......you lucky New Yorkers........ Link to comment
Dansuer85 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Darcy is preagnant!!(Isn't she?!?!) Link to comment
Shirley Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Darcey had a second daughter on February 10th and is scheduled to dance at the Met in July. Link to comment
art076 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Hm...looks like I'll just have to go to all 7 performances in Orange County. Too bad, though, that we'll be missing out on Bussell, Anthony Dowell and Wayne Sleep - all three of whom are cast in New York. Not that I'm complaining about our castng though; you can only squeeze so many stars into one week of story ballets. Link to comment
Jacqueline Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Thanks for posting this, Giannina! I thought I was getting Cinderella but am happy to see their Giselle instead. Does anyone know anything about the Saturday (Jul 10) matinee cast? (Marquez and Putrov) Link to comment
sylvia Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Marquez-Putrov is an excellent cast IMHO. Roberta Marquez has been guesting with the RB frequently this past season, dancing Bayadere, Giselle and Sleeping Beauty with Ivan Putrov and she is joining at the start of the next one. Her Giselle is wonderful in my opinion, extremely charismatic and very moving, and her dancing is so beautiful and bright. Ivan's also technically a marvel to watch, and dramatically I think he's improved in the last couple years since he was promoted to principal. Albrecht is a role he's very suited to (I'm sure I remember him garnering good reviews this year by the critics) and theirs is an enjoyable partnership to watch. Link to comment
rkoretzky Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Seconding the above post. I was fortunate to see Marquez and Putrov in RB's "Sleeping Beauty" last month. I don't have too much to comment on re his performance, other than that he got the job done....because I couldn't take my eyes off of her. She is a tiny, frail looking dancer with legs of steel and amazing strength. I will say that Putrov had the qualities that I look for in a partner in "spectacle" ballet--ballon, elevation, and light landings. Looking forward to seeing more of Ms. Marquez...guesting with ABT this spring in Bayadere. Link to comment
