DancingGiselle Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 ABT's website has announced the casting for the company's upcoming appearance at the Kennedy Center. Is there any way to find out who's cast in Gong or in some of the smaller roles for the other ballets? The more I see of ABT, the more I develop favorites among the soloists and corps de ballet, and I'd love to know ahead of time if/when they will be dancing. Can I call their press or PR office, or is that rude? January-31, 7:30 PM Repertory Gong Company Afternoon of a Faun J. Kent M. Beloserkovsky Swan Lake Act III pas de deux P. Herrera J.

Those casts are generally not posted, and the only way to know whom you'll be seeing before hand is to open the stage bill. I saw a great cast in Upper Room during the City Center season just past -- three times. Despite my friends' consensus that the cast I saw was much better, I still would have liked, at least once, to have seen the other. Had I known the B cast was dancing on particular nights, I would have bought tickets. I love Pennsylvania Ballet's method of posting PDF files that reproduce the printed programs' cast lists. Wish ABT would do same. Knowing a particular young dancer is getting an early opportunity in a small solo is sometimes enough to get me to buy a ticket for a performance I'm otherwise ambivalent about. Link to comment
