I have not seen, nor read anything about Greve's Hamlet, but have heard that it was quite a good choreography. Haven't heard anything about the quality of the dancing, however. But these recent posts have brought up some questions--
1. If one of the two (choreography/dancing) is poor does it immediately sour the other or is it possible to appreciate the un-tainted element?
2. With regard to programming, I personally enjoy a program that is truly "mixed" with distinct differences between the rep evening. As I have posted re: the RDB triple bill, too much of the same makes for little to remember for me. This evening, the company changed the program due to illness and injury I believe. Originally scheduled: La Sylphide and Etudes, this changed to Vers Un Pays Sage (Maillot) and La Sylphide. I wonder which is the more effective program aesthetically (provided we disregard the details of dancers that are available, time limits, subscription worries etc. etc.)
3. What can be said for "home court advantage"? I suspect that it must be difficult for a foreign company to put on any ballet in its home turf--in the case of La Sylfide even with the Schaufass choreography. Or, to use an example of an extreme case--last season both NYCB and Dance Theatre of Harlem had Serenade in the rep. AND both of these Serenades were performed on the same stage!
