Helene Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 What lovely tributes they have planned! I'm glad the students will have these performances, like so many dancers before them. Link to comment
BalanchineFan Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I LOVE that they're doing Symphony in C and honoring Suki Schorer's 50th and Kay Mazzo's leadership. The last movement in the Bizet is often one of the first roles female apprentices perform (if they don't join during Nutcracker) so it makes sense for the students and it's such a boon for the audience. I wonder if they'll use the original Karinska costumes or those new ones. Link to comment
