Backstage video of POB's Japan tour

[kbarber]

POB sujet Marie-Solenne Boulet has posted a great behind-the-scenes video (10 minutes) of Paris Opera Ballet's recent tour to Japan with Neumeier's Lady of the Camellias. It's only on her FB page, not on YouTube, so I hope you can see it.

Thanks very much, KBarber - a great find. A sad goodbye to Letestu, and Dupont.

Interesting that Froustey didn't appear in any of this footage. But then I don't think there was any footage of Don Quixote in rehearsal or performance.

Hi -- I am new here and this is so off topic and I am sorry but I hated to start a new topic just for this one question. I just checked the POB website and I am no longer seeing Yann Bridards name -- is he now retired?

Sorry

Yes, he has retired (in 2011 I think).

Thank you --

He remained on the roaster until last year but took time off before retirement age to start studies... He hasn't been seen on POB stage since 2010 I think.

You all are very generous thanks again -- I did find him on the web -- finally -- but I had seen his name on the POB website up until a month ago so was confused -- 2010 eh, what a shame -- anyway thanks again --
