I think she is wonderful too.

Which version is it?

...and they were wonderful!

She leading in Diamonds on may 5. Is scheduled for several performances and Emeralds as well. Wish i could be there!

How do i get the subtitles? Couldn't access them. Thanks

I couldn't find the subtitles. Is there a trick? Thanks, Macnel

Am I the only one bothered by the dirty soles of pointe shoes? I first noticed it when the Marinsky did Les Sylphide at City Center. Oh my. Macnellie

Dear EvilNinjaX, Can you upload episode 3? Please! Thank you so much, Macnellie

Me too! Hooked

Wonderful!

Watched a documentary of Nureyev recently. There was a brief excerpt of his Apollo and I wanted to see more! Does anyone know of this video? Is it with the Joffrey? Thanks

I saw it too. Happy the whole time I was there. Wondered what happened to Esmeralda's ubiquitous 'kick the tambourine' variation. Is it from another ballet? or another production? I didn't miss it but I was expecting it. I thought Maria Alexandrovna was wonderful and a wonderful and natural actress --the scenes with Denis Savin were so touching and real. And the sets!! especially the third act with the tapestry coming to life... I want to go to Moscow.

just watched this accessed through the archives --wonderful

Just to clarify: isn't an iBook an obsolete Apple product? Not yet.

I would not get an Apple ipad. I love Apple products, however Apple won't allow the use of Adobe Flash on their iphones, ipods, ipads.This means you cannot access Amazon streaming which has wonderful films and documentaries which Netflix doesn't have. Plus many many dance web sites which have video, "Arte tv" for example, use Adobe flash so you can't see those films at all. I would opt for an Ibook which does allow adobe flash.

I'm reading Michael Palin's diaries--watching as he writes Monty Python and Ripping Yarns--wonderful fun!

the seats are horribe
