Jane Simpson Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 The rest of the repertoire currently planned for the tour is: Etudes (Lander) Conservatoire (Bournonville) - just the dancing school scene, I assume Bournonville Variations The Lesson (Flindt) Jord (Jorma Uotinen) and new pieces by Johan Kobborg, Pontus Lidberg and Kim Brandstrup (the 2 pieces KB is making for the end of this season, I think)) Link to comment
Alexandra Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 That's a lot of ballets! I hope DC gets more than a whole week of "Sleeping Beauty." Link to comment

I realize I'm going OT with this, but what are the details of the NYCB three season thing. HAve they announced what time blocks will be involved? Link to comment

ksk04 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Well I'm thrilled for Orange County! This will certainly break up our two year dirge of DQ's and Giselles. I hope we get to see a few items and not just Sleeping Beauty's for a whole week! Link to comment
RUKen Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 News from the RDB press conference: the company will visit the USA in 2011: Orange County 23 - 29 May Berkeley, San Francisco 30 May - 5 June Washington 6 June - 12 June New York 13 June - 19 June Limited information is available about their performances in Orange County (Southern California), Berkeley (northern California), and Washington, DC: Orange County Performing Arts Center http://www.ocpac.org/home/Events/EventDetail.aspx?EventID=1062&NavID=86 They will perform the Nordic Choreography Project (short pieces) and Napoli Zellerbach Hall, University of California, Berkeley http://www.calperfs.berkeley.edu/performances/2010-11/dance/rdb.php They will perform La Sylphide and The Lesson the first two evenings and Nordic Modern Choreography (three short pieces) during the weekend Kennedy Center http://www.kennedy-center.org/calendar/index.cfm?fuseaction=showEvent&event=BLBSH They will perform Napoli and A Folk Tale Only the Koch Theater in New York is keeping us in suspense regarding the performances.

Helene Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 According to the venues, the performance dates are: OCPAC -- 24 May-25 Map, and 27 May-29 May Berkeley -- 31 May-1 June, 3-4 June Kennedy Center -- 7 June-12 June and, as RUKen noted, nothing for the NYC performance. I suspect the press release dates included the arrival day for each run. The 13 June is a Monday, and could be the NY arrival date. I have a question though: the Kennedy Center site says only that the rep is "Napoli" and "A Folk Tale", but doesn't have a date range for each, nor mention that only the third act of "Napoli" will performed. Each ballet is a full-length according to the RDB site. Should I assume they just haven't told us which days each ballet will be performed? Argh, that RDB is dancing in Berkeley the same weekend that Ballet Arizona does its all-Balanchine program (and is doing its first "Monumentum pro Gesualdo") and the opening weekend for PNB's new "Giselle". Argh. Link to comment

liebs Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 The Lesson - OMG I am amazed that this very mediocre ballet is still in their rep. Thoroughly unpleasant. Link to comment
abatt Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 The Lesson - OMG I am amazed that this very mediocre ballet is still in their rep. Thoroughly unpleasant. I saw The Lesson a few years ago as part of the Kings of Dance program in New York. I didn't care for it either. Link to comment
California Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Tickets are now on sale on-line: http://www.davidhkochtheater.org/events.html Prices look comparable to NYCB. Link to comment
Jane Simpson Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 The Lesson - OMG I am amazed that this very mediocre ballet is still in their rep. Thoroughly unpleasant. Far from droppping it, the Danes are very proud of it - it is one of only three ballets enshrined in their official 'cultural canon'! When I saw them do it 3 or 4 years ago I found it rather less exaggerated than for instance the Royal Ballet version, and they had some very convincing dancers - though of course that makes it even more horrifying. (Actually I've been told that some Danes think it's a comedy.) Link to comment
California Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Tickets are now on sale on-line: http://www.davidhkochtheater.org/events.html What happened? I just checked the web site and the links to buy tickets are all missing! Was anybody able to buy anything on-line? Were those links posted too early by mistake? I'm also wondering if the pricing I saw yesterday (which seemed identical to NYCB pricing) was correct. http://www.davidhkochtheater.org/events.html Let me add: last week, I asked a clerk at the Koch box office when they expected these to go on sale. He said he didn't know, other than sometime in February. Stay tuned! Link to comment
