Hello, l'histoire. I remember your posts on Bugaku very well and those who click on the link to "Are There Ballets That Should No Longer Be Staged?" can read them. I agree that the leotard experiment is worth trying.

There is a lengthy discussion of “Bugaku” and potential problems with reviving it in this thread, “Are There Ballets That Should No Longer Be Staged?” The choreography of Bugaku is strong enough to make it worth preserving, IMO. At the very least we should have Kent and Villella and other performers of the piece on tape sharing everything they know about it, so that if someone wants to try to bring it back it’s possible to do so. I agree, it has a special perfume, as Balanchine might say. And the pas de deux is stunning. (How Balanchine avoided jail for public indecency I'll never know. :)) The question would be how and whether to ameliorate some aspects that are less fragrant in retrospect while still being true to Balanchine's intentions and the era when the ballet was made.

By coincidence a channel in my area has changed programming and has started showing these, and a friend of mine is addicted. I mean to start tuning in. (Was the Louis XIV show "Versailles"? I checked out after the first episode. Ugh.)

So sorry to read this. I think he was the company's first Don Quixote, wasn't he (not counting Balanchine)? Wonderful photo, rg, thank you. A picture of Rapp as Candy Cane:
