Leigh Witchel Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Thanks for posting this, Kay; it's a nice sampler. If I didn't have to be here on September 2, I'd be tempted to be there. . . What is the concert hall at Tivoli like? I was trying to picture the company on the old stage at the royal theater, and having a hard time! Link to comment
Alexandra Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 The Tivoli stage is very wide and very shallow. The RDB danced there when the Royal Theatre was being renovated, and there were problems fitting ballets on the stage (although I think with the repertory KayDenmark has posted, this would probably not be a problem). However, I've been told by both dancers and audience members that there isn't a single place in the house where you can sit and see the entire stage, even dead center. There will always be a corner of it out of range. Very wide. Link to comment
KayDenmark Posted February 12, 2003 Author Share Posted February 12, 2003 It's definately not my favorite theater to see a ballet in - as Alexandra says, wide and shallow, and seems almost childish in shape and decor. It doesn't help that you have to walk in your finest ballet-going duds to the Koncertsal through the Tivoli amusement park, past cotton-candy stands and crowds of little ones in line for the choo-choo train. The Koncertsal also a tremendous number of partially-obstructed seats, and that's "partially" in the sense of 60% or so. I've been to (expensive) galas there where I had to switch seats with my companion during intermission, just so we'd both get to see a bit of the show. BTW, Martins (and I note that the Danish ticket service has managed to spell his name wrong, knighthood and all) gave a funny newspaper interview saying that the Copenhagen shows would not make any special effort to highlight the company's four Danish dancers - Hubbe, Nilas, Ask le Cour, and Saskia Beskow. The newspaper reporter either didn't know, or didn't mention, Nilas and le Cour's relationship to Martins. Hubbe is a minor celebrity here, of course. I have no idea where Beskow fits in.
