  1. Great program. Harris Theatre has excellent advanced sales on the high priced Balanchine-Robbins. NYCB was last there 18 years ago on the 1st subscription series. 21st Century has significantly lower advanced sales and discount codes further reduce the lower base prices. KenCen presents NYCB annually and this season is 7 Jewels.
  2. ABT posted Purple on 1/25. Benno+2 by instagram when ABT site had 8 LWFC? Tickets were like tracking hurricanes with some shows essentially NA 6 weeks out. 1/30 sold out. ABT's only tour shows Jan-July are the KC7 + CA5. Major reduction from 2023 and 2022 had DQ on tour. KC: dynamic pricing is back, the 24/7 online subscriber exchange is not yet active, no specifc programming for what used to be BAA.

  4. Love the Abraham -at 50. NOW: PREMIERES | Monday, August 7, 2023 - YouTube Hope to see it performed. Great costumes that don't detract from choreography [costume galas]. "If you run, I might fall (World Premiere) Music by Johann Sebastian Bach Choreography by Kyle Abraham in collaboration with the cast ...Costumes by Kyle Abraham and Marlene Hamm OLIVIA BELL, CHUN WAI CHAN, JEFFREY CIRIO, ADJI CISSOKO, PHILIP DUCLOS, MAYFIELD MYERS, MIRA NADON, KJ TAKAHASHI, STEPHANIE TERASAKI"
  5. There's a record button and ABT didn't post any 2019 Swan Lake footage during the pandemic.
  6. Courtney Lavine was a beautiful Bathilde - several zooms.
  7. The footage posted is from the live feed at Wolf Trap and the audience sees it on jumbo screens on each side of the stage. Plus 2 on the sides of the lawn, and a super jumbo screen in the middle. Footage posted by Brandt, Gonzalez, Ischuk and perhaps more would have been recorded on phones by colleagues from a lounge flat screen. Wolf Trap has 5 fixed cameras, planned zooms, etc and can also use handhelds. I think Brandt posted it "looked like a movie." The lounges and back stage areas for performers are also lovely- recently renovated. Extensive HVAC backstage. First day of operation for the simulcast was for the Washington Ballet Giselle 2018. ABT R&J was 2017 but it's 2019 Swan Lakes were on the jumbotron. The performers lounge A Better Backstage - Wolf Trap All Access has been renovated since 2019. Depending where you sit, the stage and screen are in your sight line. We saw 7/27 which was a great show and could be marketed from the recording. MIssed seeing 7/28 - was going to try to catch act 2 but could not.
  8. ABT: Romeo & Juliet Feb. 17, 2023 Digital Program | Kennedy Center (kennedy-center.org)
  9. Compare to great dance dramas? Prodigal Son-Balanchine 1929. 40 minutes. Anna Karenina- 2019 for Joffrey/Hallberg. 100 plus 1 20 minute intermisson. Did ABT commit to LWFC before Wheeldon developed the show for the ROH tech specs? What are tech capabilities at the Koch? LWFC would have needed the 4rth ring open. Bourne's Red Shoes -choreography was elevated when Gomes guested and assume the same if Mearns guested in NYC.
  10. 2:06 SL Maypole. WT has jumbo screen simulcasts using multiple cameras. ABT should shown videos from it's WT SL's during the pandemic. The stage is about the same square footage as the Met but wide rather than deep. Hope the Albrechts do brisees or alternate combo [Ratmansky/Cubans].
  11. @abatt Gustave is on the rare London tour instead of Pictures which would better represent the company, Ratmansky and choreography.
  12. Maybe it's guest vocalists on 10/5 for Who Cares?. 10/11/23 rep matches a 1948 performance. 3 other fall performances: CB, Prodigal, Symphony in C. NYCB doesn't appear to recast Balanchine until a dancer retires or is NA [otherwise engaged or injured]. Fall 2023 is a great opportunity for debuts in Balanchine. Limited Who Cares with new costumes and no SD or Donizetti after the KC marvelous debuts? Odd that Gustave is on 5 shows spring 2024.
