Die Fledermaus - music ID question
Jane S replied to myrtle's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
The music was arranged by the Australian composer Douglas Gamley who apparently drew on other works by Strauss as well as Die Fledermaus. -
My copy (price 3/6) lives in a plastic bag as all the pages fell out decades ago. I once, sometime around 1970, remarked to a (male) work colleague that my first recipe meal was Poulet Marengo and got the languid reply *Whose wasn't, dear?"
-
If you still think a 'slut' is someone who will take something to wear out of the laundry bin because it's cleaner than anything than anything else available, and if the first dish you ever cooked in your own bedsit was Poulet Marengo, you were of the generation that grew up blessing the name of Katharine Whitehorn and will be saddened to have read of her death.

Wish list for 2021/22 UK Ballet season (?)
Jane S replied to jmhopton's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
You're right, Alison - KO'H did Elihu. The 1993 revival was in honour of de Valois' 95th birthday and on that tour it was only shown in Birmingham and at the ROH, in a programme which opened with MacMIllan's Concerto and closed with Massine's Choreartium. (Job was replaced by several shorter pieces for the rest ot the tour, and by the way, in another programme on the same tour they were also doing The Green Table.) One of the ROH performances is actually on the ROH database but you have to search for BIrmingham Royal Ballet performances to find it. And if you just look at RB performances, the 1948 date is when it was first given at Covent Garden and if you click on that there are various performances through the years listed, with the last RB one being in 1972. The Touring Company also did it at the ROH in 1970 but that doesn't seem to get a mention. I think I only saw the 1993 revival and enjoyed the score rather more than the piece itself. -

Lockdown and General Streaming Thread
Jane S replied to alison's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
Just a reminder that The Royal Danish Ballet has re-released its Swan Lake (Hubbe version), currently not geoblocked - it was filmed on the big stage of the Opera House in Copenhagen and is a terrific spectacle even if you don't like the production. Also you can see their production of Christopher Wheeldon's Alice, streamed from the Danish television channel DR2 - haven't watched it all the way through but it looks to be well filmed and there is some interesting casting.- 1,212 replies

Altynai Asylmuratova is 60 today (1 January)
Jane S replied to li tai po's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
I think Susan Jaffe was in a later run (1997?) when Yoshida had to drop out at very short notice - Asylmuratova substituted for her at the dress rehearsal* and the next night with Mukhamedov, and Jaffe did some performances later on. * and gave the greatest performance of a Petipa ballerina role I've ever seen, as I may have mentioned quite often before... -
RB Nutcracker Winter 2020/21

It's a nostalgic, happy memories sigh - what else, for Cervera? -
RB Nutcracker Winter 2020/21
Jane S replied to Silke H's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Sigh... (not that this is a fan site or anything) -
We recorded the Ashton triple bill from Sky Arts the last time it was shown and - having just got round to watching it - we were surprised that there was no information of any sort given, no introduction, just the names of the ballets, and it stopped abruptly after 2 hours, quite soon into the curtain calls for Marguerite and Armand. I gather there's actually more to it than this? We'll try recording it again next week. And isn't Yanowsky stunningly beautiful?

RB Nutcracker Winter 2020/21
Jane S replied to Silke H's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Both Christopher Saunders and Elizabeth McGorian were in the first-night Nutcracker cast, 36 years ago - was either of them in #500? And I wonder how many hundred they've each done in between? -

It was reported in the dance magazines in March 1973 so presumably happened in Jan/Feb. -

The Danish Government has decided to close theatres, restaurants, schools etc until January at the earliest, so all RDB performances are cancelled till then, and till the Covid infection numbers start to fall.- 25 replies

There is nothing to say how long it will be available - just 'from November 25th'. But I plan to watch it very soon, just in case.

I believe it will be a film rather than live, and of the Ida Praetorius/Jon Axel Fransson cast.
