  1. Both your commentaries elevated my excitement and curiosity to see Serenade After Plato's Symposium in LA in July. I don't know if it does follow Plato's Symposium at all, but there are a lot of romantic/platonic dynamics (primarily male/homosexual) in Symposium that's different from the typical love stories in classical ballet, so I'm hoping for a very original and fresh performance/choreography.
  2. Based on the reviews here it's ironic that Skorik was promoted to principal dancer right after performing this very role a few months ago
  3. The Mariinsky site hasn't been updated yet, but the news is on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mariinsky.theatre Announced after this Giselle performance
  4. can anybody translate what Kimin Kim says at around 25:00 that results in laughter in the room? and what he says in general
  5. So I actually attended Gillian/James' performance (again) and it was very good. I personally wanted to see Stella more, but the time ultimately became inconvenient. My friend who's not a huge ballet buff thought the corps was sloppy (she saw Mariinsky's Raymonda at Segerstrom and RAVED about them, so she was probably expecting that level of synchronicity). Gillian was radiant, but suffered a trip, which she bounced back from with resilience and determination to finish the variation at 200%. don't think it's serious at all. Didn't get to meet her since it was raining and we were too tired to walk to the stage door, but there's always next year/next time. Also seeing Isabella/Cory on Thursday. Hopefully that goes better than it did yesterday (judging from the posts here) Even though ABT's Nutcracker sounds like a nice Segerstrom tradition, I hope they bring other works next year
  6. Hi everyone new user here. I'm planning to take a friend to the Nutcracker at Segarstrom tomorrow. Any advice on whether we should see Stella Abrera/Alexandre Hammoudi or Gillian Murphy/James Whiteside? I saw Gillian/James yesterday and they were fantastic together. She is amazing in the role and I'd love for my friend to experience what I did, but I also really want to see Stella as well. Hopefully we'll get to meet/get a photo with one of them after the show at the stage door. Thanks a lot!
