I saw Zachary Catazaro's debut, with Sterling Hyltin. ... So great to see Adrian Danchig-Waring back!! He and Emilie Gerrity were very grand in the Russian Dance. ...

I'm  perplexed that he and Ramasar neither don't have Siegfried in their rep.  Any insights?   

Neuroscience  has been studying the effects of arts on the brain using brain imaging and other scientific tools- neuroaesthetics.   The Washington Post has a interesting article [more expansive in the print edition?] and is on-line at:

"Something happens when emotionally compatible music and dance combine, which is more powerful than a random combination."

Balanchine and  derivatives:  ex-Ballet Russe , Balanchine dancers,  fanned out  and started or developed schools and companies.  Some school districts started annual Nutcracker field trips. In the 1950's and 1960's most families had 1 TV with 3 stations [until PBS became the 4rth]-NBC, ABC, CBS.   In 1962 Nureyev appeared twice on NBC's Bell Telephone Hour-partners Tallchief and Serrano.   Imagine today if 1/3 of all prime time video/broadcast viewing was ballet.   

Sarasota Bradenton Airport [SRQ] is about 1 mile from the ballet venue.   John Wayne Airport is near Segerstrom and LAX is far.

Nureyev has living colleagues/friends who  might have opinions.  Oleg Vinogradov:

Bolshoi's Shrew has a great cast [wish there had been a full Bolshoi Jewels].   I would not hesitate to see Cranko or the Shakespearean Laszlo Seregi's Shrew: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJfyu3G6G9c   Dancers are proud of being cast/choreographed for and tour offerings could have worse stuff like Eks' Apartment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eN9GwOKj-c or Nureyev eventually...

Can coaching positions  have sponsorships/endowments/ fellowships?   Part's resume [Vaganova School, danced soloist and principal roles at the Mariinsky and ABT, over 39 years old] indicates a transition to a teaching/coaching position with ABT [JKO] with occasional performances.  

Part's experience is unique in the US and ABT needs coaches for it's repertoire.  I saw the Part/Whiteside SL at the KC.  Part did about 25 fouettes but used the music-planning.

October 2017 is an entertaining month at the KC:   Washington Ballet's Russian Seasons, Red Shoes, Damian Woetzel program on Jerome Robbins, and the Mariinsky Bayadere.   M Bourne's website lists Marcelo Gomes

There are no slave market scenes in Byron's version. 

 

...Verdi's Il corsaro is a lot closer to the original story. In any case, I don't think we can explain away anything we dislike about Le Corsaire by appealing to Byron.

  My post was referencing how history and events are/were used in theatre and literature.  The Turkish scholarly article is very interesting.  Of course I know Byron doesn't equal the Corsaire libretto.
