EvilNinjaX Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I recently found out that Tetsuya Kumakawa's newest ballet DVD is going to be RHAPSODY. I don't know anything about it, except it's by Frederick Ashton. Could someone give me some info on it or a link to find out more? thx -goro- Link to comment
Helene Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Here is a link to a review of the ballet in the Observer from March 2005: http://observer.guardian.co.uk/review/stor...1441539,00.html The male lead was originally choreographed for Baryshnikov. I saw this ballet during the Royal Ballet's New York tour in 1981. I vaguely remember a virtuoso-ish part, but it was Ashton, and was a challenge, although never a circus role. Link to comment
Joseph Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I saw this ballet at the Royal, summer of 1999. Carlos Acosta and Viviana Durante were the principals - loved them and the ballet! It's great that it is going to be released! :blush: Link to comment
Helene Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Oops, it wasn't the 1981 tour, it was 1985. I saw it with Leslie Collier and Anthony Dowell (swoon). Link to comment
Renata Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Tetsuya Kumakawa did Rhapsody with Viviana Durante in New York in July 2004 at the Ashton Festival there. Will he be dancing with her on the DVD? They were fantastic together. Link to comment
Leigh Witchel Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 There's also discussion here from the Ashton Festival. Do a search for +Kumakawa +Rhapsody Link to comment
EvilNinjaX Posted July 28, 2005 Author Share Posted July 28, 2005 There's also discussion here from the Ashton Festival. Do a search for +Kumakawa +Rhapsody <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanx. That was quite helpful and informative. I'm excited about my preordr now, although at ~$75 for a 43min DVD, it's a bit pricey. and it looks like PRODIGAL SON will be the next Kumakawa DVD after that. -goro- Link to comment
Dr. Coppelius Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 So how do we get it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Here is a place to get it. Link to comment
Joseph Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Great! Is it region ok to play in USA? And is this a safe site to order from, does anyone know? Thanks for including the link Dr. Coppelius! Link to comment
Dr. Coppelius Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Great! Is it region ok to play in USA? Yes if you have a multiregion player, otherwise no. But with a price of ~75$ and maybe some import duties, it's not a bargain. Link to comment
