For posterity, the team and cast: Koreografi: George Balanchine Musik: Giuseppe Verdi (uddrag af Don Carlos, 1867) Kostumer: Ben Benson Lysdesign: Ronald Bates Iscenesættelse: Merrill Ashley og Stacy Caddell, assisteret af Rose Gad Dirigent: David Levi Orkester: Det Kongelige Kapel Medvirkende Solopar: Holly Dorger og Jonathan Chmelensky Solistdamer: Wilma Giglio, Camilla Ruelykke Holst, Elenora Morris og Silvia Selvini Korpsdamer: Victoria Bell, Lydia Bevan, Benedicte Boier, Isabella Rose Carroll, Heather Dunn, Giordana Gallo, Birgitta Lawrence, Emma McKenzie, Eukene Sagues, Tara Schaufuss, Carling Talcott-Steenstra og Anna Westerholm The soloists look to be in alphabetical order. Does anyone know the fourth soloist is? She reminded me of Megan Fairchild in the best way. Ashley took the curtain call: was that Rose Gad or Stacy Caddell with her? I remember that Ashley wrote in her book that Balanchine's advice to Robert Weiss, her partner, was "Be like Nureyev." Jonathan Chmelensky was more like Bruhn, in the best way. (He actually reminded me more of Andersen and Lund: he's a warm dancer.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pherank Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I too enjoyed the Ballo della Regina performance. It's great to see full length Balanchine rep videos. Coming up: [3pm PDT] SF Ballet in Dwight Rhoden's Let's Begin at the Endhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiLKBkgVMY8 This is another performance take from the 2018 UNBOUND Festival of New Works.

Quiggin Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 This Ballo della Regina performance should be the cheerful video of the day! How inexhaustibly witty. Sometimes it seems as if Balanchine is a comic poet, toying with syntax and rhyme structures, stops and starts, and reimagining everything on a blue guitar of his own. The notes say that Merrill Ashley and Stacy Caddell staged this performance which means it comes from the gods themselves. It almost trumps Ashley's own PBS performance in that there are no confusing background sets, so you really can see the complete contour of every phrase. Balanchine somewhere says that he learned a lot from Verdi – from, if I can recall correctly, something like the structure of the choral parts or the transitional music between the big scenes. Also it looks as though Ballo was choreographed just a few years after Balanchine did the Act III Coppelia divertissments which Ashley also performed in, so maybe one influenced the other.

Helene Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 For opera fans, this original version of Boris Godunov, shorter than the revised version by about 45 minutes and with a different ending, is available on the Bayerische Staatsoper site through May 1 (for all intents and purposes) in North American time zones: https://www.staatsoper.de/en/news/online-schedule-until-19-april.html It's a modern-dress production by Calixto Bielto, for which I'm giving a gunshot warning. I loved Alexander Tsymbalyuk (Boris) -- a superb Timur in the Met Live and HD Turandot -- and Anatoli Kotscherga (Pimen) especially. Kotscherga has sung Boris in this production, along with Dmitry Belosselskiy, three superb singers from Ukraine. On the website, there are references to English and German subtitles, but English subtitles were available only during the original live broadcast. If you are a score or libretto follower, and you're using the revised version, you'll find that entire scenes are not there, and the last scene is very different, as some of the music was moved to other scenes. ll down on this following page and click "Synopsis", you will get the story of this production: https://www.staatsoper.de/en/productioninfo/boris-godunow.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
