Haglund's Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Not sure if this now belongs in Heads up! or where. Sorry if I mis-categorized it. Some of the City Center casting just went up on the ABT website. Unfortunately, none of The Leaves Are Fading casts are identified. A few tantalizing tid-bits: Ballo: Murphy/Hallberg, Wiles/Beloserkovsky and Lane/Cornejo. Some performances not yet cast. Fall River Legend: Kent, Murphy and Wiles. Some performances not yet cast. Clear: Herrera and Carreno. (Those who have seen this piece should recall that the men are heavenly shirtless and lusciously lit. I cannot even imagine how incredible JM will be in this!) Some performances are not yet cast. Link to comment
carbro Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Thanks, Haglund's! Here's the link. I notice that while some ballets have casts "to be announced," all Leaves performances are "Company." I wonder if we'll have any hints before we take our seats. Sometimes ensemble works do have lead roles. Link to comment
SanderO Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I got the mailer and Dina Vishneva is not shown as a principal dancer. Is that just for the winter season.. or has she been dropped? Link to comment
Dale Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I got the mailer and Dina Vishneva is not shown as a principal dancer. Is that just for the winter season.. or has she been dropped? Vishneva, like many guests at ABT, only performs in the Met season. Link to comment

carbro Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Nov. 4 Matinee. You have to skip to the next month. Ugh! The work we have to do to get information! Link to comment
bingham Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Nov. 4 Matinee. You have to skip to the next month. Ugh! The work we have to do to get information! The cover of the CC season brochure shows Julie and Marcelo in Leaves Are Fading and K Boone and I Stappas in Baker's Dozen.Maybe, this will be the planned casting.Any ideas for LAF casting?Stella/David?

Haglund's Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 The cover of the CC season brochure shows Julie and Marcelo in Leaves Are Fading and K Boone and I Stappas in Baker's Dozen.Maybe, this will be the planned casting.Any ideas for LAF casting?Stella/David? That would be my hope - Abrera and Hallberg - which I think would be ideal. I've wondered what Tudor might have thought of those two. The Leaves pictures on the cover of the brochure and in the center are gorgeous. I noted in particular Julie's beautiful feet with the the very flat and tapered shoe. Compare that to the brick-like shoes that Gillian wears in the following photo of Fall River Legend. Even though Amanda McKerrow is setting Leaves, and presumably will do a wonderful job, it would seem a shame if Gelsey, who was in Tudor's original cast, could not also contribute. Maybe she will.
