abatt Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Scottish Ballet A Streetcar Named Desire (Salem/Lopez Ochoa) May 28-30, 2015 Opera House http://web.kennedy-center.org/press/releases Sounds interesting. I wonder if they will stop in NYC. If not, I may need to make the trip to DC, although it will conflict w. NYCB and ABT spring seasons. Link to comment
sandik Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 If you see this, please report back here -- we've seen several of her works here in Seattle, but I'm very curious to know more about what she would do with such a familiar narrative. Link to comment
abatt Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 So far no announcements regarding a New York City appearance for this work. However, a little internet research revealed that before going to DC, Streetcar will play in Chicago and in Pittsburgh during May 2015. Based on that, I suspect there may be a stop in NYC too.

Draws expertly and seamlessly from a range of dance styles, never straying far from classical ballet, in a manner that flaunts the dramatic and technical flair of this handsome company" --The Huffington Post "Triumphantpowerful!" --The Times-Picayune "Brilliantly bold and sensitive a new ballet of truly tragic proportions." --The Daily Telegraph PRINCIPAL CASTING (Blanche, Stella, Stanley) subject to change Eve Mutso, Sophie Martin, Erik Cavallari -- Thu.-Sat., May 28-30 at 7:30 p.m. Araminta Wraith, Bethany Kingsley-Garner, Christopher Harrison -- Sat., May 30 at 1:30 p.m. In its Kennedy Center debut, Scottish Ballet makes a splash with a sexy, dynamic new take on the beloved American literary masterpiece, Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire. Dedicated to strong classical technique, Scottish Ballet isn't afraid to take on groundbreaking modern pieces. A contemporary ballet company that specializes in the seminal 20th century canon, they also perform classic full-length story ballets, making them relevant for today's audience. To celebrate the 65th anniversary of the play, Scottish Ballet collaborated with renowned film and theater director Nancy Meckler (Royal Shakespeare Company) and choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa to create a vibrant fusion of drama and dance set to a specially commissioned jazz-inspired score by Peter Salem. Trying to leave a troubled past behind her, fading Southern belle Blanche DuBois moves into her sister Stella's New Orleans apartment. Stella's brutish husband Stanley sees that Blanche is not what she appears to be, and sets out to destroy her. The New Orleans Times-Picayune praised the production, saying "before a stunned and silenced house of 2,200 theater goers, the Scottish Ballet showed the depths of its roster and the dramatic savvy of the team that assembled the project." This performance contains mature content and is recommended for age 16 and up. Performance Timing: Act I - 60 min.; Intermission - 20 min.; Act II - 40 min.
