I am trying to buy tickets. Website freeze when I check out. The page just showing this every time: Please wait while we process your order anyone got thru?

She was nervous. Her face looked very tense with raised eyebrows the whole time

In tonight's Stravinsky Violin Concerto, violinist Cyrus Beroukhim is amazing. Beautiful sound.

Thanks. NYCB rarely hires non-SAB dancers, I wonder how he was 'discovered' by Martins (or Robbins). I hope NYCB website can add the dates in alumni page https://www.nycballet.com/Explore/Our-History/NYCB-Alumni.aspx

He passed away a few months ago https://konopkafuneralhome.com/tribute/details/200/Runsheng-Ying/obituary.html He was the only China-trained NYCB dancer. I saw him dancing in Beijing in the 1980s. Anyone remember his dancing in NYCB? I wonder how he got in NYCB and how long he stayed. He was mentioned in this review https://www.nytimes.com/1987/11/30/arts/dance-the-city-ballet-in-a-pair-set-to-gounod.html

I know Carlos and I sat at Row C. They are best friends since ballet school days in Spain

I don't think that is Robbie. The one immediately after Interim Team is Carlos Lopez of ABT

No

The orchestra was amplified for Peter Walker piece. Very uncomfortable for audiences seating near the loudspeakers. Hope this is not setting up a bad trend.

I noticed that too

Young Korean dancers were very impressive. Soo Bin Lee was outstanding in Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux. One more show tomorrow night

in this afternoon's Sonnambula, I saw a shoe flying into orchestra pit (or first row?). One corps boy had one shoe missing.
