Times "New Season" Ads

[drb]

While the ballet articles in today's Arts and Leisure section are generating much discussion, the ads are not available on-line.

ABT for its Fall Season has a beautiful photo of Julie Kent and Marcelo Gomes in Tudor's The Leaves are Fading. This full-page ad also gives casting for the season, but on first scan seems to give no more nor less than what has been given on the company's site for some time.

Wheeldon's Morphoses has a half-page ad with a photo of Wendy Whelan and Craig Hall. Most usefully, complete casting for each dance is given for both programs. It was a joy to see that Alina Cojocaru must have recovered, for she and Mr. Kobborg will dance the second (18th) and third (19th) performances of Wheeldon's Prokofiev PdD (the performance on the 17th is scheduled for Bridget Zehr and Nehemiah Kish). The engagement is loaded with stars, especially from NYCB. It will be a Bouder-fest! I don't know if a moderator has access to a postable complete casting; but if it is desired, I'd be willing to type out the complete casting.

NYCB has just a small ad, suggesting people should subscribe, but giving no details.

The Joyce's ad lists programming through early February, and Ailey's is without specifics other than a list of premieres.
