They not infrequently appear on video some time later. There is a DVD of the Hallberg Zakharov Beauty, for instance.

Thanks for the info! I have that Sleeping Beauty with Svetlana's jaw dropping Rose Adagio; what a great performance!

Considering all the time and effort that must go into sending these ballets around the world, are they ever available on video afterwards? I would love to be able to see some of them...

Congratulations!! As a new member, and recent balletomane, I need to thank you for opening a window to a world I have known little of and would never learn about without folks like you and all the wonderful YouTube ballet videos! Best wishes for days to come!

 

Der Spiegel has a long article (in English) that I think didn't make it into this weeks' dancelinks thread:

If indeed various parts of this article are true, I wonder how widespread many of these things are in the business...

Ah, thanks for clarifying- I will certainly work with that from now on...  

I have not seen anything really about what may be behind all of this; although there have been rumblings of problems in the past, this obviously seems quite a bit more serious...I wonder if the police have made any progress in dealing with the whole gruesome matter...

Humm- in that case the odds go up that it could show up on YouTube!

Thanks for the welcome- very happy to be here among people of similar interest!

 

 

It's called "Suzanna Farrell - Elusive Muse" - it's about her dancing - but watching her tell the story and the pain all these years later gives a real insight into what her world was like. The dancing and the tears cannot be separated.

I have tried to find this one and the few I have seen are a fortune- something like $100! I do hope it will be available somewhere in a reasonable price range...
