Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending how you look at it) I have a family function out of town that weekend and will miss that and the YAGP events.

I have one seat each for the YAGP and Vasiliev gala (Friday and Saturday nights), both near center of the first row of Rear Mezz. Hoping to sell for face value but (as the date nears) am willing to consider less. I purchased them on Oct. 11, so they are about as good as can be got at the price. :)

Stars of Tomorrow Meet Stars of Today, Friday, March 26 $55.
Legends of Dance, Saturday, March 27 $36.*

also, Final Round YAGP, rear-mid orch, center Thur, March 25 $25.

PM me if you're interested.





*This is actually a $45 ticket. I bought it at a 20% discount with a coupon. :)

In case anyone was wondering, I called YAGP and was told that Vasiliev will be in attendance.  

The one thing they're not sure of is whether or not he'll be available at the stage door to meet fans.  He may be whisked off to another event, I guess a party, after the gala.

Yevgenia Obraztsova is off the list on the YAPD's website, although she is still listed in the PDF program linked to underneath - she was supposed to dance a solo choreographed by Vasiliev and La Sylphide pdd with Emmanuel Thibault. Anyone knows more? Overall from the PDF it sounds like a very exciting program!

What I meant was that it's no longer listed here, while it definitely was recently: http://www.yagp.org/...site/index.html
But that may just be a mistake.

It's puzzling to be sure. I sort of think that changes might be noted first on the website with revisions to the pdf doc to follow. That hints to me that Obraztsova might be out of the program on March 27. I would say it would pay to compare the website with the pdf to look for hints on what's actually going to play.

To make things even harder to guess at, Obraztsova is currently listed on the PDF for the March 26 date as WELL AS the website. Go figure. It would seem odd she would appear on the 26th and not on the 27th!

Wow. It would be incredibly disappointing if both Obraztsova and Krysanova were out of the program.

Yes re: attendance. The program indicates that Vasiliev will be dancing even -- in a piece he will choreograph!

Vladimir Vasiliev
And Daria Khokhlova (Bolshoi Ballet)
Piece D’Occasion – WORLD PREMIERE
Choreography: Vladimir Vasiliev
Music: Frederik Chopin, performed live by
Ekaterina Mechetina

http://www.yagp.org/...010_program.pdf

And David Hallberg will perform his Dance of the Blessed Spirits, like he did in the recent "Kings of Dance" NY performance.

Noticing that some off stage couples are getting to dance with each other.  Aren't Scheller & Phillips a couple?  I know Lane & Ribagorda are.
