Helene Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Isaac Hernandez, formerly with San Francisco Ballet and now a member of Dutch National Ballet, is producing a gala called "Desperatres" that will be presented twice in Mexico, on August 13 and August 26. DNB posted a link to the gala poster for the August 13 performance, which includes the URL to the gala website. This is a link to the website: http://www.despertaresisaac.com/ (Warning, it takes a while to load and uses lots of bells and whistles, and, eventually, there's a blast of audio.) Currently, 20 selections are planned, danced by the following roster (as of today), subject to change: saac Hernández · Het Nationale Ballet Esteban Hernández · San Francisco Ballet Jurgita Dronina · Het Nationale Ballet Gonzalo Garcia · New York City Ballet Tyler Peck · New York City Ballet Vadim Muntagirov · English National Ballet Daria Klimentova · English National Ballet Victoria Ananyan · Het Nationale Ballet Anton Korsokov · Mariinsky Maria Kotchetkova · San Francisco Ballet Steven McRae · Royal Ballet Londres Misty Copeland · American Ballet Theater Marcelo Gomes · American Ballet Theater Denys Cherevychko · Vienna Staatsoper Ballet Maria Yakovleva · Vienna Staatsoper Ballet Emmanuel Tibo · Opera de Paris Works by the following choreographers are planned: Hans Van Manen Balanchine Marcelo Gomes MacMillan Alberto Alonso Stephane Thoss Moses Pendleton William Forsythe Link to comment

I believe this is Isaac's brother. Is this a peek into the future? Link to comment
Helene Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Yes, it is -- written on the website is "De forma muy emotiva, su hermano Esteban Hernández se presentará en el evento recién graduado de la Royal Ballet School de Londres, siendo el primer mexicano en lograrlo," which, according to bing translator, means, "In a very emotional way, his brother Esteban Hernández will present at the event, recent graduate of the Royal Ballet School in London, being the first Mexican to do so." I so wish I could go: it looks like a wonderful line-up, and the food in Mexico City is phenomenal. Link to comment
PeggyR Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Actually, I was curious about "Esteban Hernández · San Francisco Ballet". He's not on the current roster. Link to comment
