[Helene]

Thank you, Jane!!! Time to start planning that trip

[ami1436]

Yes!!!!!!!! Thanks for the news Jane -- I can't wait!

The rest of the repertoire currently planned for the tour is:

Etudes (Lander)
Conservatoire (Bournonville) - just the dancing school scene, I assume
Bournonville Variations
The Lesson (Flindt)
Jord (Jorma Uotinen)

and new pieces by Johan Kobborg, Pontus Lidberg and Kim Brandstrup (the 2 pieces KB is making for the end of this season, I think))

That's a lot of ballets! I hope DC gets more than a whole week of "Sleeping Beauty."

I wonder where they will perform in NYC. As I recall mid-June has NYCB at the Koch and ABT at the Met.

I am soooo excited! Looking forward to details.

NYCB initiates its new, three-season year in 2010-2011, so they may be out of the Koch by mid-June.

I realize I'm going OT with this, but what are the details of the NYCB three season thing. HAve they announced what time blocks will be involved?

I hope that between Washington and New York, they bring a wide sampling of programs, heavy on the Bournonville.

Oh, I so hope so, because the only alternative is City Center...

[Millie]

It is my understanding that in NY they will be at the Koch.

Wonderful news! Really looking forward to this!

Well I'm thrilled for Orange County! This will certainly break up our two year dirge of DQ's and Giselles. I hope we get to see a few items and not just Sleeping Beauty's for a whole week!
