balletchic101 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Has anyone seen or does anyone know anything about this company? The last I heard was that Espen Giljane, former NYCB dancer, is the director there. Every so often the company is mentioned in the NYTimes, mainly in passing -- they performed a piece to commemorate Glen Tetley's 80th Birthday this season and Christopher Wheeldon has set some pieces there, among other things. Just curious... Link to comment

kbarber Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 You can see their current season info her: http://operaen.no/en/#ballett They seem to be more into contemporary than classical ballet. Last year they did a very modern version of Swan Lake, of which a DVD has been released: http://www.amazon.com/Alexander-Ekman-Norwegian-National-Ballet/dp/B00KSHOQD2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419255679&sr=8-1&keywords=norwegian+ballet Link to comment
bingham Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Danny Tidwell is listed as one of the dancers. According to his bio, he has been there since 2010. There was no mention if he danced any leading roles. I do wish that he would return here, to ABT if possible. Link to comment
