pville Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 The earlier discussion of Sofiane Sylve's debut in Emeralds piqued my interested because I had always thought of Sofiane as a Diamond maybe a Ruby. So which ballerinas in NYCB do you think correspond to each of the Jewels, in my opinion Diamonds: Nichols Whelan Kistler Koworski Sylve Rubies: The McBride Role Ansanelli Weese Bouder Taylor Fairchild The Neary (big girl) role Koworski Reichlen Bouder would be interesting, smaller girl but dances BIG! Sylve Tinsley Emeralds Kistler Somogyi Nichols Ringer Rutherford Korbes !! Stafford Borree so what would be your try as casting director? Link to comment
oberon Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Colleen Neary & Monique Meunier spoiled me forever for the big girl in RUBIES...I was there one night when Meunier literally drew gasps, then an ovation for her spectacular 3 pencees...not only rock solid but such a gorgeous line. I saw Maria K and Reichlin try the part...both were unsteady when I saw them, and Savannah Lowery doesn't have the right body for it. I'd love to see Tinsley or Sylve try it, but I think Bouder's too small...she should be splendid in the McBride role though. Korbes might be good in the Neary role...or Ellen Bar? I've always wanted to see Darci & Kyra EMERALDS...or Wendy (either role)... Link to comment
cinnamonswirl Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 I'd love to see Miranda Weese in Emeralds again. Saw her when City Ballet came to Washington, DC, and she was stunning. Link to comment
