Dégagé E. Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 What an exciting season. I would like to see both the Forsythe programme and Nureyev’s Don Quixote and am seriously considering treating myself for a trip to Boston where I have not been in over five years. Link to comment
seattle_dancer Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Hello, does anyone know when Boston Ballet posts casting? I would like really like to fly to Boston to see Don Quixote! And does anyone have any ideas on how many Kitris they might have? I'm not familiar with the lead ballerinas anymore. Link to comment

He at times was spectacular while she was very good but not at the same level of virtuosity. I wish I had seen either Kapitonova or Fentroy. Has anyone seen either of them? Link to comment
BayStater Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Hi all, I’m a new forum member here, adding my thoughts after seeing this spring’s Sleeping Beauty. I saw two different casts, and was completely blown away by Ji Young Chae and Jeffrey Cirio in the final Sunday matinee. (Yes, we are happy that he has returned to Boston!) They both had impeccable technique, and her princess transformed through the acts from flirty to dreamy to regal and joyful. In response to the above comments, one of my pet peeves about Boston Ballet is that they do indeed post casting on their website, but only at the last possible minute. They were half-way through the first week of this run before they published the casts for week two. A bit frustrating, but it is what it is. Finally, I just want to add that I have been an occasional patron of Boston Ballet for literally decades, often limited in my youth by lack of time or money. I tried this past year to renew my commitment to the company, and I must say that I am impressed. I have no insights into Mikko Nissinen personally, but from my seat in the dress circle I have a great deal of respect for his leadership. His principal dancers are exquisite artists. The dancing of the corps is lively and clean. The company seems to embrace a wide range of dancers: tall, short, local, international, dancers of differing races, ethnicities, and personalities. This season I have seen both full-length classics and contemporary works, and the company seems to enjoy and excel at both. Link to comment
