ECat Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) Etoile Eleonora Abbagnato will be performing Le Parc on December 23 for her farewell performance. IMO this will be a lovely ballet for her to exit with. There is a great video on the Paris Opera website on this link. https://www.operadeparis.fr/en/magazine/parcours-detoile-with-eleonora-abbagnato?utm_source=Selligent&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=&utm_content=&utm_term=_ Edited December 2, 2019 by ECat Wanted to add more info Link to post
miliosr Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) We'll see how many shows of Le Parc and Raymonda the company actually performs given the strikes that have led to several cancellations already. https://www.france24.com/en/20191210-paris-opera-ballet-dancers-hang-up-shoes-in-pension-reform-protest Edited December 11, 2019 by miliosr Link to post

Josette Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Hi, miliosr - I know, I have a friend who was in Paris with tickets for both Le Parc (with Ganio) and Raymonda. Dorothee Gilbert got great reviews for that one performance of Raymonda. I have tickets for Mayerling in May. Link to post
