Guest balletshoe Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Does anybody know of a video of Balanchine's ballet "Serenade". I cant find anything. I know that many companies have performed the ballet, but I dont know if there is a video out there. Thanks for your help. Link to comment
BW Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 balletshoe, I just did a "search" on the videos forum and am afraid that I didn't come up with much encouraging news. Perhaps you should post again down there: http://www.balletalert.com/forum/showthrea...hlight=Serenade I, too, would love to have a copy of this. I wonder why it is that it is, apparently, not on any videotape or DVD? I wonder if The Balachine Trust might have an answer? Link to comment
tigger Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 hi, i just did a library and google search and didn't come up with much. the nycb site sells a video called "Dancing for Mr. B" that has excerpts from serenade (if you click on the picture, you can see it listed in tiny print): http://www.nycballet.com/nycballet/balvid.asp there was also an italian site (centro teatro ateneo) that listed a serenade by balanchine, 31 min, 1990, but not much information about that: http://w3.uniroma1.it/cta/video/Catalogo%2...Video%20QRS.htm hope that helps.

Leigh Witchel Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Dance in America broadcast Serenade along with Western Symphony in 1990. It's a very good recording; Darci Kistler did the Waltz, Kyra Nichols the Tema Russo and Maria Calegari the "Dark Angel". I don't believe the recording has been released commercially. I'm going to move this thread to Ballet Videos to see if they have any other sources. Link to comment
Guest balletshoe Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Thank you all for your effort. My daughter is learning Seranade at Ballet Academy East. They plan to perform in a studio workshop in the studios at city center March 5,6. I will give Darla Hoover a call to see if see knows of a recording I could my hands on, I also emailed cpyb, they perform it also. Link to comment
Vicarmac Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 I have seen the one Leigh is talking about. But it had been copied off of PBS. I don't know of it being released either. Link to comment
BW Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 balletshoe, I wondered if that might be the reason you were asking. My daughter attends BAE, too. I have to believe that Darla must have a copy of this. I'd love to see it, too. Link to comment
dirac Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 The broadcast has not been released commercially. It's too bad, although I thought at the time that both Serenade (what a dream cast, though!) and Western Symphony were not ideal choices for television. However, I'll take what crumbs I can get.
