Yes, I was wondering as well. But the cast is subject to change, in both events maybe.- 285 replies

I'm very excited about the new Berlin season. Christian Spuck explained in detail to us friends of SBB the new program. It's very diverse, fresh, and we finally get a Ballet Week! The wonderful "Tanz ist KLASSE!" Organization/society, founded in 2007 by former acting AD Christiane Theobald is now fully integrated into SBB as an extra branch. They offer so many opportunities for schools and kindergartens to discover and practice dance, every day kids/youngsters are in the theatre. Sadly, the planned Tour to Tel Aviv was cancelled for obvious reasons (rather shifted than cancelled, I shall say). Other invitations for the company are already in, so we have to wait and see when it will happen. Yes we lost Sleeping Beauty, but Giselle ans Swanlake are still there. And for the other pieces/ballets: the future looks bright. Last year, they sold 98% of Tickets. So if you want to see SBB, book early! -

Yes, it's good that his partner in life and dance Margarita is even smaller. Makes them a cute couple. I’ve rarely seen him partnering other female dancers in Munich, this is difficult.- 138 replies

Ballet Icons Gala March 2024
Sabine0308 replied to Tango Dancer's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
I've seen this production in Munich last year and wrote a review here (not my best since a day before, my best friend passed away, but the performance was a blessing): https://www.lanottemag.com/post/la-bayadère-in-munich I guess in Madrid, the Golden Idol will be danced by Shale Wagman and Antonio Casalinho. Antonio often studies the same roles as Shale in other productions, they are both great talents, with superbe technique. However, I prefer Shale's performances for his unique artistry. No matter who will dance the Idol, you will be in for a treat. Hope the 3 main characters (Solor, Nikija, Gamzatti) can hold the same quality.- 138 replies

*Kammertänzerin But I love your version @FionaM 😉 I am currently scratching my head if there is a title Kammertanzpaar", since her husband Marian Walter also holds the title "Kammertänzer". ❤️ -
German Ballet Tour- February 2024 - help needed!
Sabine0308 replied to Richard C's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
Oh @Richard C you're very welcome, it's so nice to see that you had a great time. Yes Semper Opera House is a BEAUTY. I guess you went to Staatsoper Berlin but then found Deutsche Oper. Staatsoper is the beauty here, but in Deutsche Oper the view is good from every seat especially in the stalls. Good to know you made it in time, as there is quite a distance between the two Opera Hoses. Anyway, glad you enjoyed! -

Wow yes, what a surprise🙄. Also, and I will NEVER stop complaining...they mentioned the names of the opera singers but not the performing dancers!! If Hilaire would be more assertive, he would have told them afterwards, because he entered the stage right after their performance. My guess is Christian Spuck would have mentioned them. As of the next ballet season: convenience store comes to mind, I don't see an actual program/topic. La Sylphide (Lacotte) Giselle (Wright) Illusion like Swanlake (Neumeier) Onegin Romeo and Julia Ballet Festival Week Triple bill "Wings of Memory": Bella Figura (Jiří Kylián) Das Frühlingsopfer (Pina Bausch) Faun (Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui) Lost letters (Lucia Lacarra, Matthew Golding) Spheres 3, curated by Leon/Lightfoot -

And my guess is he will get about 5 minutes to do so AFTER all the Opera and concert stuff have been presented at length.🙄 -

Thanks @Emeralds, I still need to see her finishing Swanlake afsin...I was so sick with the flu last time I went and had to miss the final 15 minutes because I left my seat (bad coughing🙈). But I feared it would be her last performance of O/O, so I went. I'm not sure if Swanlake will come back to the Berlin stage. -

So very well deserved and it's about time!! I'm very happy for her.❤️❤️ The sweetest Sleeping Beauty and a wonderful and strong Odette/Odile, as well as a moving Giselle. I wish many more years onstage!❤️❤️❤️ -

I can speak only about how the process was for Shale Wagman. He is not very tall but was invited to Munich during the peak of Corona, they did everything to get him from Canada to Germany (which wasn't easy, entry into Germany etc but they made it possible). Igor Zelensky was not even present when he "auditioned" but was online and took him on the spot. So yes, the process can be special for future soloists. As for A. Casalinho who is smaller than Shale, I've rarely seen him dance with another partner than his tiny Margarita, and hiring process for them was...let's say different. -

I'm not sure if height is still an issue in companies. If I look only at Staatsballett Berlin, where the company has been "re-arranged" last year with Christian Spuck taking over the helm, then I see a lot of different height and body types in general. Like the very tall Martin ten Kortenaar, and the tiny Leroy Mokgatle. I think rather certain skills which would fit the best for certain choreographies are more important?
