Birdsall Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Great repertoire! I imagine they are excerpts from all those ballets, b/c even though most are short works Firebird is around 45 minutes and Le Carnaval is about 30 minutes, etc. I assume the show is all excerpted pieces. It is still probably a wonderful show! Link to comment
cubanmiamiboy Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 They did this program already-(right when I was flying to Italy). My friend, whom also follows MCB,went to see it and loved it. Yes...they are excerpts of the ballets. Computarized projections of Benois and Baskt backdrops were used with great results, as I was told. Link to comment
