volcanohunter Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 You may also want to add Agnès Letestu dancing "La Cigarette" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ko2MEjQzVTs Link to comment

glebb Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I'm pretty certain but not 100 per cent sure that Tulsa Ballet did 'Suite en Blanc' under the directorship of Roman Jasinski. I hope somebody can help. Link to comment
rg Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 interesting note. a quick search, however, of NYPL dance coll. for 'tulsa' 'suite' 'blanc' came up blank, but that only means the NYPL has no documentation of such performances. Link to comment
Dale Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 There's a Newsday article from a 1988 visit Tulsa Ballet made to New York, saying the company was reviving Suite en Blanc: "We have a gorgeous theater we can do anything in, a wonderful symphony orchestra. We have unbelievable support from our community, city and state. We have a repertory of over 65 ballets," said Moscelyne Larkin, who with her husband Roman Jasinski, founded and directs the company. "Already in our first performance of the season we did 'Les Sylphides,' 'Night Shadow' and 'Graduation Ball.' This weekend we're giving my husband's 'Concerto in D,' 'Mozart Violin Concerto' and reviving Serge Lifar's 'Suite En Blanc.' As soon as we come back to New York, we start touring 'Nutcracker.' We go all the way up to Nebraska with it." Link to comment

It looks like Houston Ballet staged it in 2005...maybe they dropped it already... http://www.houstonballet.org/content/relea...weekly_2005.pdf (scroll down to page 3) You may also want to add Agnès Letestu dancing "La Cigarette"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ko2MEjQzVTs Thanks volcanohunter! I added her on the topic title. Link to comment
hydraulix Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 The way Agnes Letestu is dancing her 'Cigarette Variation' is just breathtaking! Pure femininity and class. Link to comment
cubanmiamiboy Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 Some other clips I found of Suite en Blanc. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Delphine Moussin and Jean-Guillaume Bart in the Pas de Deux http://videolog.uol.com.br/video.php?id=368458 Myriam Ould-Braham in the Pas de Cinq http://videolog.uol.com.br/video.php?id=370037 Link to comment
Nanarina Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I really love Suite en Blanc the choreography is so distinctive, and the music lovely. I wish it was performed more often, and would be super to see it in the UK, I feel sure that English National or The Royal Ballet could do it. Link to comment
Nanarina Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 It seems that a lot of ballet clips have once agin been removed from YouTube. Seems that this is due to miss use. I really cannot see the harm in people watching them, it surely encourages those interested in going out and buying the DVD if they are commercially available. If they are privately filmed and put on the net, is it a case of "The Powers that be" at work again? Or YOUTUBE themselves. Link to comment
cinnamonswirl Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Looks like SeejayLurtzmann's account has been deleted That was a real treasure trove of amateur videos of POB. Link to comment
cubanmiamiboy Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 On and on and on with the witch-hunt... Link to comment
hydraulix Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 It's really sad that SeejayLurtzmann's account is suspended. I owe him many thanks for his marvellous collection of movies of the Paris Opéra Ballet, as without him I wouldn't know anything about POB's étoiles or even be raving so madly about Agnès Letestu.
