Farrell Fan Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Apropos the Suzanne Farrell Ballet, what is the ballet by Paul Mejia? I keep tellling myself I should know, but the fact is I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perky Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Apropos the Suzanne Farrell Ballet, what is the ballet by Paul Mejia? I keep tellling myself I should know, but the fact is I don't. I'm curious as well Farrell Fan. Is it a new Mejia ballet or something Farrell actually danced? I would love to see her revive Mejia's Cinderella.

Dale Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I wonder if it wouldn't be "Eight by Adler," which was shown on PBS. According to Mejia's bio, it won an Emmy Award for Farrell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrell Fan Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I now recall that shortly before Farrell retired from dancing at NYCB in 1989, that company put on a ballet by Mejia called Sinfonia Mistica, to the music of the same name by the Polish composer Andrzej Panufnik. I heard about the planned premiere from Suzanne herself one memorable morning as I headed to work on the Second Avenue bus. I was very surprised to see her on the East Side and felt terrible noticing the difficulty she had getting off the bus at the crosstown stop. At any rate, it turned out she was not in Sinfonia Mistica, which I of course went to see. It may have been Judith Fugate who was in it. Maybe that's the ballet. Maybe not.

carbro Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Not to confirm or deny your hunch, FF, but here's Sinfonia Mistica's page from the NYCB website. I have no memory of ever having seen it, but yours is pretty good. Indeed, Judith Fugate did dance it, with Ib Andersen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 The page at the Kennedy Center website has been updated: "The programs feature ballets by Balanchine, including two works fused with music by Igor Stravinsky, the grave and reverential Monumentum Pro Gesualdo and Movements for Piano and Orchestra, which Stravinsky once remarked should have been called "Electric Currents," as well as La Sonnambula, a dance of intrigue set in a shadowy and mysterious masquerade ball. Robbins's In Memory of..., a ballet created for and premiered by Suzanne Farrell, is a poignant struggle between the beautiful earthly soul and death come to take it. The company will perform its first work by Paul Mejia, entitled Eight by Adler. Choreographed for Suzanne Farrell, Eight by Adler is full of the kind of Broadway bravado that wins over audiences and which won Ms. Farrell an Emmy Award for its televised debut." So it is Eight by Adler. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrell Fan Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I don't know what I was doing when Eight by Adler was soriginally shown on television, but I never saw it. Exciting to know it's being revived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
