Many thanks for the heads up, Buddy!

With all of the guest appearances that happen during Nutcracker season, it would be great and much appreciated for Ballet Talkers to post reviews of those performances

I saw the movie last night, and I still have chills thinking about it. In another life I'd choose to look like Tallchief or Baranova do now -- at any age. Watching Slavenska in those short clips made me think I was watching Farrell. They, apart from Toumanova, may not have been able to do ninety-nine fouettes, but they could speak with their bodies, and the energy was palpable in the excerpts. And the men were so buttery soft when they jumped. My favorite story was Terekhov's, how he pooh-poohed his father's warning about how hard ballet was. It was really sad that Chouteau felt she didn't have the "Balanchine look," because she moved like a dream. And Wilkinson's story was another episode of the national shame and waste of racism. Must have DVD. Must have DVD.

But is it the chicken or the egg? Do they get the jobs because they are already married, or do they meet "on the job" and marry? (Like Mazzo met her husband, who was a board member when she was a dancer.) And if two administrators are already married, did they meet in another organization, with both of them having serious credentials?

I third nysusan's suggestion. I would love to see the Perm company.

I'm really grateful for the reviews posted on these Miami City Ballet's performances. It's one of the most important companies in the US. ( for a West Coast visit from MCB)

I'm so glad you were able to get tickets, and look forward to reading your review!

It's too bad you didn't like Nagelstad. (I don't think the critics were too crazy about her either.) I thought she was one of the few Normas I've seen who was attentive to the text, a fine actress, and who sounded and acted older and more experienced than Adalgisa. She didn't have the voice of Caballe, for example, but for me it was a more satisfying performance overall, particularly since Caballe was off-pitch during Act I. Mishura is a lovely singer. She was a performance of Aida I saw a couple of years ago.

I saw Whelan dance Aurora in Martins' version of Sleeping Beauty during the Spring 1994 season, and of all the Auroras I saw at NYCB during the first seasons the ballet was presented -- Fugate, Nichols, Kistler, Margaret Tracey, and Hlinka -- with the exception of Fugate's "Vision Scene," she was by far my favorite, even at that relatively young age. She had a sensibility all of her own; she danced it as a Balanchine dancer, and if she felt the pressure of a century of precedents, she didn't show it. I would love to see Whelan's Odette/Odile.

I'm so glad you mentioned the singers and the orchestra. I've never heard anyone match Bailey's "Introduction to Valhalla" from Das Rheingold. I wish I could have heard him, Remedios, and Hunter live.

I'm not sure if this has opened in the US yet, but when I was in London, I saw Mrs. Henderson Presents, the new Stephen Frears movie starring Judi Dench and Bob Hoskins. It's based on the true story of a woman who used part of her inheritance to open a theater during the WWII era; it opened with vaudeville, but when that formula was copied, introduced nude tableaus into the mix, much to the delight of the soldiers in town. Christopher Guest has a wonderful small but intermittent role as Lord Crowmer, who is in charge of enforcing decency standards for the stage. Mrs. Henderson Presents was a bit sentimental in a Hollywood way -- when did the BBC get so Merican? -- but it was Dench's movie, and well worth it.
