I am making my first trip to Paris in March and picked up some Swan Lake tickets.  I don’t really care that much about casting, as I’m just excited to see the Palais Garnier, but when in general is casting listed?

Oh, I really don't want to disappoint you, but "Swan lake" will take place in Opéra Bastille - as all Nureyev's ballets in Paris...

I think that Hugo Marchand could be a good Siegfried too, especially if he dances with Dorothée Gilbert - they're great together.

I'm less convinced by Amandine Albisson, who, too often in my opinion, doesn't pay attention enough to her partner - but she's indeed a beautiful dancer, with a strong technique and beautiful lines. Maybe we can hope to see the new "Première danseuse" Héloïse Bourdon, who danced Odette/Odile at the Mariinsky a few years ago.

Thank you Helene for this warm welcome !

I'll do my best !

Hi,

I've been reading your ballet forum for many years now, so I think it's time for me to register.

I'm a french balletgoer, living near Toulouse (south of France), where I attend performances of the Ballet du Capitole and of touring companies (mainly European contemporary ones). When I have time (and money) enough, I try to go to Paris or London.

I'll try not to be a "ghost member", but as writing in english is not easy for me, I must ask you all to be indulgent towards my mistakes.
