Natalia Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Dear Lord, may they bring anything BUT Alice in Wonderland to NY/DC! Heavy on Ashtons, light on McGregors. Link to comment
kbarber Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Dear Lord, may they bring anything BUT Alice in Wonderland to NY/DC! Heavy on Ashtons, light on McGregors.They won't bring Alice, as National Ballet of Canada has North American rights to it. Link to comment
mussel Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 I assume NBoC will hold N. America rights to The Winter's Tale, so we can rule out RB will bring it to the US tour? Link to comment
kbarber Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I assume NBoC will hold N. America rights to The Winter's Tale, so we can rule out RB will bring it to the US tour?Yes that is correct. Do you have a link to official info about the Royal B tour? Link to comment
vipa Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Does this mean I'll actually get to see Marianela Nunez? I've had a fantasy that ABT would have her as a guest artist for years. Link to comment
naomikage Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 It has been announced that RB will be touring Chicago, DC and NYC June 2015 http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/theater/chi-auditorium-theatre-125-anniversary,0,480967.column The Royal Ballet will present Carlos Acosta's production of “Don Quixote," a triple bill of Wayne McGregor's “The Art of Fugue,” Christopher Wheeldon's “Aeternum," and a still-in-progress piece from choreographer Liam Scarlett, which will premiere at the Royal Opera House in London in Feb. 2015. The Auditorium will be part of a three-city, 2015 tour of the United States that also includes the John F.

abatt Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Royal Ballet dates for the Kennedy Center were announced today. June 9-14. I guess they will be stopping in New York after the Kennedy Center. Link to comment
mussel Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Covent Garden season usually ends around early to mid June, so it seems DC will be the first stop of the tour. Link to comment
mussel Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Royal Ballet dates for the Kennedy Center were announced today. June 9-14. I guess they will be stopping in New York after the Kennedy Center. RB will be in Chicago June 18-21 with Don Q: http://www.auditoriumtheatre.org/pages/home/performances-events/performances.php?event_id=520 NYC will be the last stop after Chicago. It seems RB will compete with ABT head on, my worst fear. I have to choose between NYCB and ABT early in the season, I really hate being forced to pick between 2 companies again. It will be ABT 75th anniversary season, I assume ABT will pull out all the stops. Link to comment

mussel Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 It depends on whether the tour is part of Lincoln Center Festival. LCF announced its lineup in March in the past but it's January this year. If the tour is not part of LCF, it's up to the touring company, i.e. Mik announced its Nov. NYC tour last month. Bolshoi announced its NYC schedule, then removed it from its website and put it back after LCF announcement, it seems LCF request its participants not to announce their lineups until LCF does. LCF usually starts early July after its resident companies finish their annual residencies, if RB comes to NYC immediately after Chicago, it may not be part of LCF. Link to comment
abatt Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 The dates for RB visit are too early for the LCF, so I think it will just be a rental of the Koch. Link to comment

Looks like only Don Q in Chicago and Washington now, according to the Auditorium Theatre and Kennedy Center websites. Does anyone know if the triple bill might still be on for NY? The Lincoln Center website is, typically, unhelpful. It doesn't even mention the Royal Ballet! Link to comment
roses Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Yay! I used to live in London, and imo, RB is the top/best ballet company in the world. Now that I live in NYC, the ABT does not measure up. Link to comment
maps Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Open Rehearsal tickets went on sale today at The Kennedy Center: Mariinsky 1-27-15, Royal Ballet 6-9-15. They sell out very quickly. Link to comment
California Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Covent Garden just sent out its January e-newsletter, which includes this information about the NYC engagement: In June 2015 The Royal Ballet will continue a fine tradition of international touring as they return to the United States. Individuals are invited to support The Royal Ballet and join the Company on the New York leg of the tour between 23 and 28 June when they will be performing at the David H Koch Theater within the Lincoln Centre, including a Gala performance and two mixed programmes by British choreographers. I don't know if this is part of the Lincoln Center Festival. The Festival plans to announce its summer programming on Friday, January 23 and priority tickets for Friends will go on sale that day. Let's hope they got the bugs out of their ticketing system, after last year's fiasco with the Bolshoi! Link to comment
California Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Royal Ballet just sent out a Tweet with a link to a new story on its web site.Quite a bit more information about the NYC programming: http://www.roh.org.uk/news/the-royal-ballet-to-tour-the-usa-in-june-201 E.g., The Dream and Song of the Earth. And now a notice in the NY Times: http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/01/15/royal-ballet-adds-lincoln-center-to-its-american-tour/?_r=0 Link to comment
