sandik Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 An items in the news clips section mentioned that the Bolshoi would be doing a Massine triple bill in their upcoming season -- does anyone know which ballets?
Roma Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 I think the three ballets are Le Tricorne, Les Prйsages, and Gaite Parisienne.
Marc Haegeman Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 That's correct, Roma: "Three-Cornered Hat" (music by De Falla), "Les Présages" (music by Tchaikovsky), and "Gaité Parisienne" (music by Offenbach). Premiere on 14 April 2005.
sandik Posted September 18, 2004 Author Posted September 18, 2004 I hope that they're able to tour with these, while they're out and around waiting for their theater to get rennovated. There's not a lot of Massine available currently, and I'd be very curious to see how they perform them.
Natalia Posted October 8, 2004 Posted October 8, 2004 The wish-list for the Bolshoi's (maybe) season at the Met should include the Massine Evening. The Feb. 25, 2005, premiere of Ratmansky's 'The Bolt' (Shostakovich score...full-evening-length ballet) is equally exciting. How many ballets can the Bolshoi bring on tour, next summer? To satisfy all of our wishes, we need to see: * Pharaoh's Daughter * Balanchine Evening (Symph in C, Agon, Tarantella, Tchai pdd, Concerto B) * Massine Evening * The Bright Stream * The Bolt * Ashton's Fille Mal Gardee * Neumeier's 'Midsummer' (also a premier this season...December) * New Modern Works, incl. Ratmansky's wonderful 'Leah' With all of the above choices, I sure as heck hope that it's not yet another 'Grigorovich Festival' at the Met next summer..... :shrug:
carbro Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 Great wish list! Unfortunately, based on past experience, I think we're more likely to get Giselle/Swan, Don Q/the new Romeo, and two performances only (over the weekend when I'm committed to be out of town) of an interesting mixed bill.
