Right, Drew. The music for specific numbers, such as Tea & her entourage, goes on too long. But what to cut? In total (minus the intermission), the ballet clocks in at only 70 minutes. Cut one dance and it barely qualifies as a "full evening" work. Ratmansky uses every bit of the music, exactly in the order intended. It absolutely helped that I familiarized myself with the score ahead of time, by listening to the Japanese CD two dozen times. So much of it seemed undanceable before I saw the ballet but Ratmansky worked wonders.

Still longer than La Sylphide which NYCB clocked in at 60 minutes with no intermission, and many companies perform as stand-alone full-evening work with one intermission.

Tonight Mercedes and QoD were split roles with Paris as the former and Part as the latter.

The spring season opens tonight with Don Quixote.  Looking forward to read all the reports.

Ratmansky mentioned in an earlier interview there will be a reconstruction at ABT in 2018.

And Ratmansky will stage Bayadere in Berlin 17/18 season: http://www.berliner-zeitung.de/kultur/theater/staatsballett-das-sind-die-plaene-der-designierten-intendanten--26811508

Will the reconstruction for ABT be Bayadere co-produced with Berlin?  I can't imagine ABT would jettison its iconic 38-year old production.

Does anyone know what theatre Jewels will be performed in? 

 

Thank you. 

The State Theater.

Is Nureyev's Sleeping Beauty staging for NBoC different from POB?  I remember watching NBoC Beauty DVD with Veronica Tennant and Nureyev, it's much abridged, less than 90 minutes long.

How is Devon Teuscher only a soloist???

 

Thursday's Swan Lake was absolutely great (by elite ballet company standards). A much more dramatic, emotional performance by Marcelo Gomes and an excellent performance by Devon Teuscher (even managing to keep the fouettes in a perfectly straight line). The 1st ballerina in the pas de troix was also impressive.

I wish I were there to witness the a-star-is-born moment.

On the flip side of "How is Devon Teuscher only a soloist???" is "How is Hee Seo a principal???"

Hee was replaced by Veronika in last night's Monotones II.  Hee wasn't at the open rehearsal yesterday afternoon, Veronika rehearsed Prodigal Son both with Simkin and Cirio.  So I won't be surprised if Veronika replaces Hee in tonight's Prodigal.

So David Hallberg is still MIA.

Semionova is no longer listed on ABT roster.

Oh well I am uncertain that the mess was Mr. Kobberg's fault or if it was the new AD's fault. Seems like a lot of "nativism" going on.  If all ballet companies operated that way, Petipa would never have been hired at the Maryinsky, nor Balanchine at Ballet Society / NYCB, etc..

 

Balanchine founded NYCB and its predecessors so he needed not to be hired by them.

Several member messaged me that some of the links to the live stream are no longer working.  So here is another link to the complete performance: https://yadi.sk/mail/?hash=1XhUjj9aW580KpJ9rm8zlnU142W7A0PbSFT5SepWjgQ%3D
