Balanchinomane

Phelan replacing Peck Friday night. Mejia is still on.

Solitude is a masterpiece. The London audience would love it as well, but I guess renting a full orchestra is cost prohibitive.

Great news, so well deserved. We heard yelling and applause from behind the curtain as we filed out. Bravo for the Fall for Balanchine Season!

Full orchestra!! Wendy and Jon came out front. Said there are 200 alumni in the house! Lots of glamour.

I love this production. I wish NYCB would pick it up. It’s so beautiful and delightfully charming, and there are many soloist roles. I think it would sell very well.

Ulbrecht expertly partnered Woodward in a rollicking Voices of Spring. Ball was her partner in the final waltz. The drama continued when Woodward lost one shoe downstage right. It remained for a time as the mad waltzers seemed oblivious to an impending collision. It was unceremoniously kicked to the wings as Woodward carried on, bare toes visible. It was a wonderful and memorable performance.💐🥰

Fathom Events has cancelled the upcoming Bolshoi in Cinema broadcasts of Swan Lake and The Pharaoh’s Daughter.

What a nightmare. 3 hours of trying and I was able to get front row O for both Maria and Gonzo so all is forgiven.

So looking forward to this performance!

I was happy to have bought tickets on line by 1215 today until I received the 30% off email at 4pm. It really is maddening but if I call tomorrow to complain, I'll feel worse. They really have to do a little better.

Strand Bookstore in NY had several reviewer copies for half price. I bought one last week for $17.50. It's beautiful - very detailed, 500 pages, 2 sections of photographs. I checked on line - they are still showing available copies for pick-up or mail delivery.

Wonderful news! Congratulations all!

A wonderful man, a glorious career, a lasting legacy. My sympathy to his loved ones.

I first read it as "temporary outrage." Seemed appropriate.

So far I've received 2 out of 5
