  1. Don't we all wish they would keep Jason Reilly? I just wanted to add that although Ms. Pereira replaced Bridgett Zehr for the Bruhn, she was not a replacement for the role of Katherina. http://www.national.ballet.ca/mediaRelease.php?20070214-1 Julie Hay and Lorna Geddes were very entertaining, I chuckled at the annoucement as well!

  2. The Erik Bruhn is a very prestigious competition, with specific criteria, and the Artistic Directors of each company (who adjudicate the competition) must all be in agreement. Perhaps in amateur competitions, they give "best trooper" awards, but highly unlikely in a competition of this calibre. Clearly that would be an insult to the late Mr. Bruhn! Lets give Jack his jacket. M
  3. The Prize has been won by members of the same company twice, 1995 (Persson and Tapper) and 1999 (Guennadi Nedviguine and Vanessa Zahorian) http://www.national.ballet.ca/performance....ason/erik-bruhn Past Erik Bruhn Prize winners: 1988 Errol Pickford of the Royal Ballet and Rose Gad Poulsen of The Royal Danish Ballet; 1989 Stephen Legate of The National Ballet of Canada & Silja Wendrup-Schandorff of The Royal Danish Ballet; 1993 Johan Kobborg of The Royal Danish Ballet & Julie Kent of American Ballet Theatre; 1995 Johan Persson of The National Ballet of Canada & Jaimie Tapper of The National Ballet of Canada; 1999 Jhe Russell of The National Ballet of Canada with Guennadi Nedviguine of San Francisco Ballet & Vanessa Zahorian of San Francisco Ballet; 2002 Friedemann Vogel of Stuttgart Ballet & Michele Wiles of the American Ballet Theatre. I managed to get tickets to the dress rehearsal last Friday and had an opportunity to see Sabrina Matthew's "Veer". It is a phenomenal piece, pure choreographic genius on Matthew's part and jaw-droppingly performed by Hirano and Pereira! In my opinion, there was nothing else like it in the competition. Do make a point of seeing it if it pops up in NBOC's program. More 'behind the scenes' coverage from the Star today... http://www.thestar.com/article/188496 M
