Estreiiita Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 (edited) Today at the press conference Nikolaj Hubbe announced the plans for the coming season 2018-19. Here it's possibly to see all the items: 2018-19 season I believe, it' s just in Danish right now, but the titles of the performances don't need translation. Personally I'm quite content with the coming season and plan to visit Copenhagen as often as my finances and work schedule will permit it.

But I notice Ulrik Birkkjaer is back listed as "solodanser". Does that mean he is leaving San Francisco (just saw him there on the weekend in their Unbound program). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane S Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Don't think so - he's been listed as solodanser all this season and I've assumed it just meant that they expect him to come back sometime or other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane S Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Eva Kistrup has just posted a report on the new season which answers some questions. I'm really sorry (for the company's sake) that Sebastian Haynes has decided to stay with NDT - he was a huge asset. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry too ... but glad that he's with NDT - a good company. I'm off to catch them in September for Ratmansky's Plato's Symposium (as I can't imagine we'll be seeing it in London any time soon). It's on a bill with Robbins (West Side Story Suite) and McGregor (Chroma). Hopefully I'll be able to catch him then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Wall Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) Thanks, Katherine. Ever reliable for your corrections of my postings ... and hugely appreciated. Don't you worry, Katherine.... I may be old ... but I'll get there. Wish I could see more of National Ballet of Canada ... only it is so far to go ... and one has so little time. I so envy you your travels ... Do keep us informed. One positive thing from this announcement on the UK front is that we're much more like to see Mr. Haynes (who was so glorious in that wonderful Bournonville celebration at the Peacock a few years ago) with NDT at Sadler's Wells as they have a not infrequent stay there given that they are a contemporary company and so many of their choreographers are much cherished by the Wells' dedicated audience.

toursenlair Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Hi Bruce, you know that NBOC is going to be in Hamburg July 3 and 4 with a Canadian mixed program? Much closer for you than Canada. Plus Hamburg B has some great programs that week. See you there? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane S Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Excellent news! - and a very popular decision, to judge from the Facebook video It had to be very soon but I had thought Hubbe might be saving it till the Festival. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
