Jane Simpson Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 The LA Ballet's 2015 - 16 season will include the first performances by an American company of Frederick Ashton's Romeo and Juliet, originally made for the Royal Danish Ballet. Link to comment
JMcN Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I hope it will be as danced by LFB/ENB as opposed to the cut down version! It was the first version of R&J I ever saw (in 1985) and I have wonderful memories of outstanding performances. Link to comment
sandik Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Wow -- this could be a road trip. I didn't think I'd ever get a chance at this one! Link to comment
volcanohunter Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I also remember the LFB version from its New York tour. I haven't seen the scaled-down version, but I can't see how it could "count" as the real thing. Link to comment
Josette Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Thanks for the news. I've always wanted to see the Ashton version. Link to comment
Jane Simpson Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 Any more news of this - e.g. who is staging it? Link to comment
sandik Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I am incredibly sad that I cannot get to any of the performances, but am hoping that it goes well enough that they keep the production around. Or that another company, like Sarasota, decides to mount it. Link to comment
