Amy'sMom Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 My hubby just scored major points....he told me this evening that my Mother's Day gift is to be a trip to NY to see Nina Ananiashvili in La Bayadere!! He travels often and saw her several years ago at the Bolshoi while on a business trip. My 17 year old daughter and I have loved her for years, having only seen her on tapes/DVDs. When he found out she would be dancing again with ABT this year, he used his frequent flyer miles to book a flight and purchased La Bayadere tickets for our daughter and me! Wow...the only thing I mentioned I might want for Mother's Day was a new pillow and a "Swivel Sweeper"! Link to comment

drb Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 What a great husband! Nina might want to say that of her husband. Not only did he buy back most of her famlily's Royal land (documented in an interview which is probably still on her site), but is also sort of a hero, as he was one of the negotiators of the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT).

drb Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Nina is dancing at Jacob's Pillow , 6/20-6/24 Brice, if you check out the thread on the 2007 and 2008 tours of the Georgian company Nina runs, you'll find that she's dancing Giselle the week before in New Haven as well. The 2008 tour is getting announced one city at a time (it seems to be starting out west, with two midwest locations already announced as well). http://ballettalk.invisionzone.com/index.p...=24009&st=0 And, welcome to BT!
