Suzanne Farrell programmed Tzigane for her company's last show at the Kennedy Center December 2017, Forever Balanchine. Two casts and the KC premiere by her company was in 2002. I'd love to see Peck+Mejia smolder through this. NYCB did Martins Zakouskie, Tzigane light, in early 2018 at the KC. 6 years later Woodward had her Tch pdd debut. My program states "The performances of Meditation and Tzigane are presented by special arrangement with Suzanne Farrell, copyright holder" I guess discussions on the renaming were between Suzanne Farrell, NYCB, and the Trust. 1975 Ravel Festival also included Rapsodie Espagnol - anyone remember that?

The ABT casting surf on instagram! Murphy Septimus is Carlos Gonzales. Camargo-Hurlin 3 shows of ? Cast lists should include Tybalt, Paris, Benno+2 [comp duration Tsch pdd], etc. Mixed bill/gala Tsch pdd Hurlin/Mejia, E Von E/Miyake: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5ZEForAZ8v/ https://www.instagram.com/p/C5Z_ChdAbG9/ https://www.instagram.com/p/C4mDYb1riJu/ https://www.instagram.com/p/C2NrIlvge4k/?img_index=6 Sample WW cast list Woolf-Works-gen-rehearsal-v3.pdf (roh.org.uk)

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.

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.

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"

There's a record button and ABT didn't post any 2019 Swan Lake footage during the pandemic.

Courtney Lavine was a beautiful Bathilde - several zooms.

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.

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.

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].

@abatt Gustave is on the rare London tour instead of Pictures which would better represent the company, Ratmansky and choreography.

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.

Yes to Bell, Camargo,Curley in anything. ABT should list Juan casting. Also Giselle peasant pdd, R&J Tybalt/Paris/Benvolio. No male soloists on Met casting.

Presenters should get box office stats from the KenCen. Ratmansky's Giselle was popular: SCFTA OR 1145 KC 2198. Presented by KC.

Perez's [Houston] last show with TWB is SB - an audience loss like Mack [contract] and Barkman [Rojo] https://www.instagram.com/p/Crt0W8CvcKI/ https://pointemagazine.com/our-favorite-performances-of-2022/

Artistic Director | The Washington Ballet — Management Consultants for the Arts (mcaonline.com)

Any input on the Eisenhower box tier high chair seats [only available]? Very sad to read about your show accomplice.

How ballet companies adapt classic novels for the stage - The Washington Post Wheater on Joffrey's Anna Karenina and Pickett on The Crucible. There were no protests at the Kennedy Center for Anna Karenina.

Very sad. We had the pleasure and privilege of meeting Alexandra Tomalonis at the Kennedy Center.
