Of course, laurel, no apology needed. I think I misunderstood what you said about discussing the performance. I thank you and all the other forum members who shared their thoughts here. I'm sure I will! Never attended a ballet performance at the Met, so I'm sure that will be a great experience!

Thank you all for sharing your thoughts. I'll definitely get a ticket for the Copeland - Cornejo - Abrera performance, which by the way suits better to my working schedule. At first I was thinking of the other performance, since Herman Cornejo will be guesting here at Teatro Colón as Conrad, alongside Kochetkova as Medora and Simkin as Ali. That will happen in ten days and I already got my tickets. But I've changed my mind. Not sure about that. Last January I attended a performance of the NYCB. I entered the forum with the idea of posting something about that, but I found that several other members were reporting about the very same performance I attended. All of them noticed something wrong in one of those ballets, some kind of partnering misunderstanding that was even noticeable in the main ballerina's face (the ballet was Chaconne, maybe some of you read about that here in the forums). I saw nothing of that, I thought everything was fine, I didn't notice anything wrong, neither the partnering flop nor the disgusted ballerina gesture. Adding that to the fact that English is not my native language and my lack of knowledge about steps and many other things, I thought I'd rather remain just a reader. One more time, thank you all. Really appreciate that you took your time to reply my question.

Hello everyone at the forums. Living in Buenos Aires, I am not very familiar with ABT. I will have the chance of attending one single performance of Giselle next May. I might choose Tuesday 15 (Copeland - Cornejo - Abrera) or Wednesday 16 (Boylston - Whiteside - Teuscher). Since I will be working, I won't be able to attend the Wednesday matinee (Lane - Simkin - Shevchenko). Which of those performances would you suggest and why? Thank you in advance for your input.

I noticed that Ana Sophia Scheller hasn't been dancing during the whole Spring Season. According to the website, she's still a principal dancer in the company. I don't think she's injured since she will be dancing with Andrei Vassiliev and Erica Cornejo next June at Skirball Theater for the Performing Arts in NYC. Seems unusual to me, but I may be wrong, so I'd love to know what you think about this or whether there's a reason for this.

Thank you all. Natalia: it's one of my fave too, but since it's in my hometown, I do know I'm biased

Hello Ballet Alert and all members. Here's a long time lurker, now joining in. I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Avid balletgoer when I was younger. At the present time I don't attend as many performances for different reasons, but of course I still enjoy a good performance. Since I have become a big fan (to put it mildly) of Balanchine's works, this site has been a great source of information. I am far from knowing about ballet as much as many of you (for instance, name of steps), but I think you can always learn.
