pherank Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 My apologies if this interview has been posted before - "Damian Woetzel created a Studio 5 event that highlighted three signature George Balanchine ballets from 1960. The night ended up being a tribute to the lyrical, idiosyncratic, and wildly apt coaching language of Woetzel's guest, NYCB legend Violette Verdy." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fFK6-LsQEU Link to comment
sandik Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I hadn't seen this -- what a treat! I love to watch rehearsals and coaching, but the Liebeslieder was especially wonderful. Link to comment
Barbara Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 That was delightful, pherank - thanks! Link to comment
Phaedra392 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I was only partway through watching this for the first time when I just had to stop and post. I have never seen hops on pointe like Tiler Peck's in the Donizetti coda. The only word to describe them is the word Violette Verdy used at the beginning of the video -- "buoyant." And Daniel Ulbricht's pirouettes were astonishing. I haven't seen this ballet in many years, and these two wonderful dancers make me long to see it again. Thank you for posting this fabulous video!

abatt Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Ulbricht has never been cast in Donizetti Variations at NYCB. Link to comment
sandik Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Ulbricht has never been cast in Donizetti Variations at NYCB. Then I'm extra glad we were able to see him here. Link to comment
