stan Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 I've heard that Saturday, May 18 will be Helene Alexopoulos' final performance with the company. The program was changed so she will be doing Prodigal Son and Vienna Waltzes (presumably the Merry Widow). Good to see Nichols last night after a long while. And what has happened to Miranda Weese?

E Johnson Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 The cast for this performance looks to be wonderful. I got a ticket because of Alexopoulos but am looking forward to it for many reasons now. Link to comment
Sonora Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Would this explain why the Company is scheduled to perform Prodigal only once this season? I'm curious about the rationale behind this ballet's scheduling. Perhaps someone with more City Ballet experience can answer. Link to comment
sneds Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Hi! I would guess that "Prodigal Son" is being performed specially for the occasion of Helene's retirement. It is one of the ballets she has performed in a lot the last several years, and one of her "signature" roles. Kate Link to comment
stan Posted May 16, 2002 Author Share Posted May 16, 2002 There's an interview with Helene, on the subject of her retirement, in the current issue of Time Out New York. Link to comment
