I loved the opening night show, easily followed the plot pre reading the libretto.  Smekalov applied the wit we’ve enjoyed in his performances to the choreography and coaching. I’d like to see new Smekalov on a mixed bill and his full-length The Bronze Horseman. It was fun to see the pas de trois magically appear in context, Act 2-tavern.   No discordant costumes, choreography, or coifs [inc wigs] to distract from the flow...variations ≠  Paquita Grand Pas -original?  Cast: Tereshkina charming, Askerov great with comedy, Chebykina, Shakirova, Belykov, Nagahisi.  I wish Shapran was on the tour in that variation to see her do it again.  [KC Paquita Grand Pas Jan 2015].  

10/4 sold by 8 am. 4 working rehearsal tickets 9pm 10/3 -$15.   Sold out in March.

... It was a pleasure to see the tall, darkhaired beauty Maria Bulanova with Ionova & Nuikina as the Odalisques. All danced well but Bulanova was especially notable for her strong, floaty turns. ..

And so Bulanova is Medora on June 6.

I was around for the original "Danish Pastries"—Peter Martins, Helgi Tomasson, Adam Luders, and Ib Andersen—as well as Leonid Kozlov (Bolshoi), Robert LaFosse (ABT), and Sean Lavery (SFB and Frankfurt Opera Ballet). And of course, Joaquin DeLuz (ABT). Of the bunch of them, only LaFosse trained at SAB if I'm not mistaken...

Nikolaj Hubbe is the 5th Danish pastry or Prince of Denmark.  Bruhn [primary NYC affiliation ABT], Baryshnikov, Zelensky.  Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux [POB].

Thanks for that, Imspear. I think not that many people are familiar with "Harlequinade," which often makes for box office problems in DC.

Oh happy day!  I check daily for Ballet Across America - on sale since March.  It is now here and wonderful.  Dance Theatre of Harlem and Miami.  http://www.kennedy-center.org/calendar/event/BTBSI

I wish SF [ fall 2018 had 2 east coast weeks - DC then NYC] would be the annual replacement product for Farrell.  With the bi-annual SF slot used for Miami, Harlem, etc.

Perhaps ABT prioritized City Center performances.  Also idiosyncrasies [noted in some NYCB dancers on B.A. as far back as 1999] can impact in classically oriented Balanchine.

as of 10/7/18 this program appears to be trending to a potential sell-out for 4/6 performances.

That's great programming. Barnett is wonderful and I'm glad you got to see the spirit of the work in Tch Pdd.  Last 1.5 I saw missed the mark. Next might be the most expensive 8 minutes of theatre in my life.
