The Traveling Ballerina

Thank you everyone for these updates.

Hi Everyone. Although an unfortunate topic, it is a real one. I have created this page on The Traveling Ballerina dedicated to how coronavirus is affecting the ballet industry. Considering the wide reach of this forum, I am hoping that any of you that have relevant information to add will fill out the form on the article's page so that I can keep it as updated as possible. Thank you so much!

This is My Body..., the Scottish Ballet program that opened last night at The Joyce Theater, was super intense!

You're very welcome, @ECat! I truly appreciate your kind words. And yes, basically, Hee Seo is simply sublime

Opening night was stunning. My words don't quite have the power to convey the feeling I had throughout - and after - the performance, but hopefully they will give you an idea of just how wonderful it was Hee Seo, Cory Stearns and Devon Teuscher are so perfectly cast. Here's my review.

I, too, definitely preferred the rep program. Thanks for pointing out the error! I've updated the link, as well. And, you're welcome

I'd say it was just short of 3 hours; when I got on the shuttle, my watch read 10:30pm. And thanks for sharing Macaulay's SB review.

You're welcome. I saw The Sleeping Beauty last night. As usual, it's a marathon of a ballet, and although not my favorite, I wanted to see Nureyev's version - here's my thoughts.

Last night was the first time I have seen NBC live, and their performance definitely lived up to my expectations; here's my review. On another but related note, I have still to discover a Ratmansky ballet that resonates with me.

This was definitely unlike any other Nutcracker I've ever seen! As mentioned in my review, I did not provide too much detail as I didn't want to ruin the element of surprise for anyone planning on seeing it; but if you want to hear about anything in particular, I'm happy to share!

Here's a review and a bit of the story behind how the performances (featuring Sarah Lane & Cory Stearns) this past weekend at Sante Fe College in Gainesville, FL came about. Enjoy!

Here are my thoughts about last night's performance, the first time I've seen any of these ballets. It was interesting...

Oh, I'm so sorry! I did a search for it, but couldn't find it. Should I remove my commentary to that thread? Some of the casting is the same as it was for opening night and some different. I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

I have anticipated attending this performance since it was announced and I am sorry to report that overall, I was disappointed. Here's the review I wrote about last night's experience. Anyone else there?

I haven't seen Boston Ballet live in decades, and that was at the Wang Center. The beauty of the Opera House is an experience in and of itself; on top of that, Boston Ballet performing Giselle made it the highlight of my recent trip there. Here's my review of the September 28th matinee performance.
