KikiRVA Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Any idea when single tickets go on sale for RDB? Can't figure it out from the website. I'm planning a trip next Spring. Link to comment
Jane Simpson Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 August 14th, I think. By the way I see there's a week in April when you can see 3 of the programmes in 4 days - Blixen, Ballet de Luxe and Mahler 3. Link to comment
KikiRVA Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Thanks so much, Jane. That's exactly the week I'm hoping to go! I hope there will be tickets available. Link to comment
NinaFan Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I'm so jealous! Have a wonderful time! By the way, if you happen to be in NY in early July, top dancers from the RDB will be performing at the Joyce. I saw them the last time they were here, and it was a lovely program. You won't have the beautiful scenery as with a full company in larger venue, but the Joyce is a lovely intimate theater. Below is the information from the Joyce website: The Bournonville Legacy - JUL 9–14 Top dancers of the Royal Danish Ballet, revered as the world’s third oldest ballet company, come together to bring the best of August Bournonville to The Joyce. Featuring distinctive repertoire from classical ballets such as La Sylphide, Napoli, and A Folktale. Link to comment

Thank you so much for the recommendation, @NinaFan Joyce Theater has such a brilliant program including the Australian Ballet, Maria Kochetkova Gala, Ballet Festival curated by Kevin O’Hare featuring Lauren Cuthbertson and Edward Watson. https://joyce.org/performances As a non-New Yorker, I had not even heard about it.

I see you checked out their website! Yes, the Joyce has some amazing programs. And since it's a small intimate theater, you're never that far from the action. As I mentioned above, you won't have the scenery, but the intimacy of a small venue makes up for that. I hope you are able to see one of their programs, especially if you're in town for NYCB or ABT (or both during the spring season). Link to comment
