Still, i'll live it just in case somebody out there can actually make a comparisson between this two versions of the same music for two different PDD's in terms of musicality values instead of choregraphic needs. So, second round!, and this time is about... Argentineans!!! so Julio Bocca or Maximiliano Guerra? Link to comment

drb Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Fokine Firebird or Balanchine Firebird? Balanchine Martins Swan Lake or Balanchine Swan Lake? (Will NYCB ever do the latter again?) Link to comment
Natalia Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Fokine Firebird or Balanchine Firebird? Balanchine Martins Swan Lake or Balanchine Swan Lake? (Will NYCB ever do the latter again?) One would only hope, drb. Balanchine. His one-act condensed version any time, over four acts of Martins. It's not the quantity but the quality. Lavrovsky Romeo or MacMillan Romeo? (...the Martins is not a choice here) Link to comment
