Re: "Individual performances: A few years ago I wouldn't have said this, but all hail the PNB men! They were uniformly excellent in the Saturday matinee. I was less inspired by my Giselle and Myrtha, although the peasant pas de deux included the consistantly amazing Chalnessa Eames (soon to be departing for Twyla Tharp's company)." Please note: Chalnessa is not joining Twyla Tharp's company when she leaves PNB at the end of the season. She was honored to premiere a new work by Ms. Tharp at the Command Performance gala in Dallas this past April, but it was not a "permanent gig."

Hi, Helene - The Seattle Times didn't quite get the line-up right and I haven't had the time to ask them to correct it online: "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is not closing the season, but will be the second-to-last program. The sixth and final offering of the season willl be Alexei Ratmansky's "Concerto DSCH" and a title to be announced. Of course, as I always like to say, "Subject to change"! Cheers, --Gary
