  1. 8 BALLET DANCING VHS TAPES Balanchine Fonteyn Nureyev Baryshnikov LOT KULTUR https://www.ebay.com/itm/303712976060?ul_noapp=true
  2. here's a list of stagings (acc'd to the Balanchine Catalogue) by companies other than NYCB: 1954 San Francisco Ballet 1958 Eglevsky Ballet Company 1960's Geneva Ballet (Grand Theatre de Geneve [Ballet]) 1961 Teatro alla Scala (Milan) 1965 Ballet of Los Angeles 1979 Los Angeles Ballet 1981 Eglevsky Ballet Company 1982 Kansas City Ballet 1994 Pennsylvania Ballet 1998 Pennsylvania Ballet 2008 Miami City Ballet 2013 Ballet Chicago 2014 Suzanne Farrell Ballet 2015 Miami City Ballet 2018 Ballet Chicago
  3. the Kennedy Center pas de deux is largely the Ivanov version; most decidedly it ends with the Ivanov/Drigo way and not Balanchine's Tchaikovsky way.
  4. there's a thread about the School of American Ballet's 2014 workshop that included an excerpt from Balanchine's SWAN LAKE and which was filmed for Live From Lincoln Center on this site. the thread from time is headed as follows: School of American Ballet Workshop 2014 the telecast was sent out at the time to PBS stations but not subsequently released commercially, and in any case, as noted above, Balanchine's SWAN LAKE was given on this occasion only in an extended excerpt staged by Darci Kistler. other than that, there is no film of the ballet otherwise available. see below: LIVE FROM LINCOLN CENTER Curtain Up: The School of American Ballet Workshop Season 39 Episode 7 | 1h 24m 47s |Video has closed captioning. Meet the ballet stars of tomorrow, rehearsing and performing in four of George Balanchine's most celebrated works. The program includes rare behind-the-scenes glimpses of the rehearsal process featuring some of SAB's illustrious faculty members, including Darci Kistler, Suki Schorer and Susan Pilarre. Aired: 12/12/14 Expired: 12/12/17 Rating: TV-G It's possible that with the current streaming offered from Lincoln Center at Home that this School of American Ballet program might be re-run, but nothing's been said to that end so far.
  5. word came yesterday of the death of Marvin Hoshino, Editor and Designer for BALLET REVIEW; date of death was not mentioned.
  6. A colleague in Paris writes as follows (excuse possible duplication): Manuel Legris is putting something together instead of the cancelled” Gala Nurejew” on Thursday June 25that 2pm Paris time, i.e; at 8 am NY time. It’s live transmission from the Wiener Staatsoper. https://www.staatsoperlive.com/event/2/4d853555-c344-480f-a749-411850e58d78/watch
  7. F.Y.I. the following has come in from the p.r. of Lincoln Center at Home: <<Lincoln Center at Home’s June 22 stream of a 1978 Live From Lincoln Center broadcast of New York City Ballet performing George Balanchine and Alexandra Danilov’s full-length production of Coppélia will be replaced with a stream consisting of the third act of Coppélia only, preceded by three highlights from the 2004 Live From Lincoln Center Broadcast of the Balanchine 100 Centennial Celebration: Balanchine’s Brahams-Schoenberg Quartet (fourth movement) with Wendy Whelan and Damian Woetzel; Concerto Barocco with Maria Kowroski, Rachel Rutherford, and James Fayette; “The Man I Love” pas de deux from Who Cares? with Alexandra Ansanelli, Nilas Martins and featuring a special performance of the Gershwin score by Wynton Marsalis. The decision was made by New York City Ballet and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts not to show the complete Coppélia after reviewing the footage from the 1978 Live From Lincoln Center broadcast. >>
  8. Sally Banes, author of, among other books, TERPSICHORE IN SNEAKERS and other accomplishments died yesterday.
  9. news of the death of Anne H. Bass yesterday has come today.
  10. Deborah Jowitt hs posted this: http://www. artsjournal.com/dancebeat/
  11. indeed, Rapp danced Don Quixote during the first run of the ballet, he was first-cast; Balanchine's appearances were special occasions.
  12. much admired NYCB dancer and revered S.A.B. teacher, Richard Rapp died on Jan. 14. The attached photo, showing Rapp (as the Hoofer) and Suzanne Farrell (as the Strip Tease Girl) is dated July, 1968, just months after the ballet entered NYCB repertory in May, when Arthur Mitchell performed as the Hoofer; it was likely used as publicity for NYCB's season in Saratoga Springs. (a few tributes to Mr. Rapp have been posted on Instagram and Facebook)
  13. It looks as if the woman seated next to Farrell is Susan Pillare.
