LisaY Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 There was an article about this ballet (I'm going to butcher the title, the article is no longer on the NY Times website, and the NYCB website still lists it as "New Eifman Ballet" - so I can't check the spelling, so here goes ...) "Musagete" (?) in last weeks NY Times Online. It sounded interesting and I'm curious if anyone here has seen it - and what they thought. It's described as Eifman's take on Balanchine's relationships with his wives, girlfriends, muses. Did that come across clearly? Accurately? (well ... as much as any ballet can be an accurate description of such complexities). I remember Eifman as being a topic of some interesting debate on this site in the past and am wondering if opinions of his choreography or staging talents have changed, or where affected at all by this ballet.

Leigh Witchel Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Lisa there is one lengthy discussion on the ballet, along with this one and this one - so check them out, and I'm going to close this thread to keep the topic from splintering off. Link to comment
