ABT's Swan Lake

[silvy]

I would like to know if someone has seen the above DVD, and opinions (starring Julie Kent)

Also I would like to know the names of some soloists, if someone knows (for instance, who the soloists in Pas de trois are, the Big Swans, the Little Swans)

Thanks for help

I am sorry- star is Gillian Murphy (not Julie Kent)

Silvy, this is the live performance telecast nationally on US Public Television last summer. There's a L-O-N-G thread devoted to it. Here's the Llink.

Silvy,

As Bart points out there was much discussion of this last Summer. Although I already posted this , I have to say it again because the discussion cracked open again.

The thing is slashed, I don't think you can even describe it as cut. The last act is about 10 minutes long. I was surprised to see a telecast of Swan Lake that lasted 95-100 minutes, not counting chat, in 2005.

I made a VHS copy but didn't even try to transfer it to DVD.
