Here's glimpse on the Company's 2009  Season, taken from their last Swan Lake performance program-(no yet added on the website).


2009 Season Preview.
CCBM presents:

Alberto Alonso's "Carmen"
and
Full Lenght "Le Corsaire".

I'm very happy to have the opportunity to see Alberto Alonso's "Carmen" again.  (On the back cover of the program where i took this information there is a pic of Lorena Feijoo, SFB Principal and a current guest with CCBM as Carmen...It would be great if she does it...she's a great dramatic ballerina)

...and FULL LENGHT "CORSAIRE"?!

I just noted this cute note on the CCBM site:

"The CCBM Company and School will present the 'Nutcracker" with Hispanic versions of the characters".

I was looking for a post that I recently saw regarding the upcoming performance of Alonso/Schedrin Carmen, but I couldn't find it.  Anyways, for those who will have the opportunity to see it here, there is something that makes it even more appealing.  After Alberto Alonso re staged the ballet for Mme.
Alonso-(after Plisetskaya's premiere at the Bolshoi)-the ballet was dumped from the Cuban repertoire-(although Alberto Alonso did restaged it at the Bolshoi, starring Zakharova, which bits of it can be seen in his documentary).  It wasn't until 2000 that the ballet was brought back to the Cuban stage, and Hayna Gutierrez was one of the very few bailarinas who has ever danced it.  She knows the role really good, and she will be dancing it here, and I will be there to support my cubanita, of course...
Here's a fragment of Gutierrez dancing the role in La Habana right before defecting...
