abatt Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Angel Corella and Letizia Giuiliani will be performing the Dance of the Hours (choreographed by Christoper Wheeldon) in La Gioconda at the Metropolitan Opera House. You can go to the Met's website for the dates of La Gioconda. However, the website does not list the dancers. This information is contained in the casting list available in the lobby of the Opera House. Since the MET only gives casting lists for two weeks at a time, there is presently no info re whether Corella and Giuliani will be performing in all of the Gioconda performances. (Corella did this same role at the MET two years ago, and the audience went nuts.) See you at the Opera! Link to comment
Dale Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Here's the casting (from Met pr): All dates are performed by Angel Corella and Letizia Giuliani, except October 9, which is performed by Davis Hallberg and Gillian Murphy. Link to comment
dirac Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Thanks, abatt, for posting the news, and thanks to Dale for the additional information. I hope anyone who sees them will report back in this space! Link to comment

zerbinetta Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 The SYTYCD tour started last September, so I think you're right. This year's group should be starting their tour nowish. Link to comment
zerbinetta Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I googled Danny & the last thing I found on him was an appearance at a big AARP benefit the end of June this year. Link to comment
sho Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I googled Danny & the last thing I found on him was an appearance at a big AARP benefit the end of June this year. He sometimes appears as a guest instructor / performer with his dancer (not ballet) friends, like this. http://ihollywooddance.com/thecrew.html I knew him six months ago through Japan FOX airing of SYTYCD and overwhelmed by his superhuman pirouette & jete with perfect aplomb and flowing arm movements. I wish he would go back to ballet world where his gifted elegance would shine most brilliantly! Link to comment
