dirac Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Culture wars at the Paris Opera Ballet. Quote The controversy is pitting Alexander Neef, the German director of Paris Opera, which includes the ballet company, against traditionalists aghast at what they see as his attempt to convert a national institution into a temple of North American thinking. Neef, 46, spent much of his career in Canada. The row erupted when Neef appeared to tell Le Monde newspaper that he wanted to stop staging works choreographed by Rudolf Nureyev,,,,,,, Link to comment
dirac Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 A story on the costumes stolen from San Jose Dance Theatre. Quote Linda estimated the value of the labor and materials of what was stolen to be between $13,000 to $20,000. But because the tutus are so specialized, they have low resale value for a thief. To those at this nonprofit, they are priceless. Link to comment
