alexaa1a Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Just curious.... and then.. When was the last time ABT presented it...? Mariinsky Ballet usually performs it, at least once a year. In the 2009/2010 season, they probably performed it around 5 times.. Link to comment
sandik Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 At least ten years ago, by a semi-professional group. Link to comment
Natalia Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 About eight years ago at the Hermitage Theatre in St Petersburg, during concert of Mariinsky soloists. I also saw the Leonid Jacobsen troupe dance that late choreographer's own version to music from Bellini 's Norma...only the beginning and ending poses (& costumes) bore any resemblance to the Dolin version to Pugni score. Slightly eccentric and with far more difficult choreography than the Dolin/Pugni version. Didn't Alicia Alonso create her very own choreography to the Pugni score? I saw that in San Juan. Puerto Rico, in 1978. Link to comment

Lucky you. I just bought Janice Ross' new book on Yakobson -- haven't finished it yet, but her description of the work is fascinating. Link to comment
