  1. You are correct; this is the work of Wendy Whelan's husband, but his name is David Michalek.
  2. Cassandra Trenary has been added to the cast of On the Dnipro on October 29th in the role of Natalia; no assignment had been shown for this role previously. On that same date, Cory Stearns has been removed from the cast of Single Eye. Calvin Royal III is now shown in that position (he had previously been the fifth dancer listed), and Thomas Forster is now included in the cast.
  3. Aschenbroedel was made available on CD in 1991 from an analog recording by the National Philharmonic Orchestra in 1980, conducted by Richard Bonynge. This 2-CD set also includes ballet music from Ritter Pasman, and Le Beau Danube, a ballet suite that draws from music by Johann I, Johann II, and Josef Strauss. It is identified as Decca 430 852-2
  4. It's not a misspelling. "Dnipro" is the transliteration of the Ukrainian name for the river, whereas "Dnieper" is transliterated from Russian.
  5. Last year it was announced on July 18th, the Monday after the completion of the summer season. The ballet season is ending a week later this year.
  6. I do not know, but possibly she abandoned the full-length book when the biography by Orel Protopopescu was published: Dancing Past the Light, the Life of Tanaquil LeClercq. University Press of Florida. 2021. The acknowledgments in that book include: "I am grateful to...Holly Brubach for permission to quote from her article, 'Remembering Tanaquil LeClercq.'" Protopopescu also included quotes from other Brubach articles.
  7. I think that when ABT performs "pure dance" ballets, the company often gets compared unfavorably to NYCB. With story ballets that include big sets, there is not such a direct comparison. When NY-area ballet lovers want to see a story ballet, they generally think of ABT first. I do wish that they didn't always have to include Swan Lake, and just a few other warhorses with one new production every year during their four-week season, but I understand why they do it.
  8. That's Charlotte d'Amboise (daughter of Jacques).
  9. I don't think it has been mentioned yet on this thread that Christopher Wheeldon's "Like Water for Chocolate", which is premiering now at the Royal Ballet, is a co-production with American Ballet Theatre. We can expect it to be performed in New York in the next year or two.
  10. I believe that last week's showing of Prodigal Son also used footage from two performances.
  11. On the "Stream" page it states: Available again on demand December 23, 2020 at 5PM to December 26, 2020, at 11:59PM
  12. There has not been an announcement, but her absence is discussed in the ABT 2020 Promotions thread.
  13. Sarah Lane is teaching a master class at Princeton Ballet School on October 16th. (It is posted on their home page.) She is identified as "American Ballet Theatre's Sarah Lane" and the brief description of her career states that she "has been a ballerina with American Ballet Theatre for 18 years." Most likely, this was all arranged before recent events changed her status with ABT.
