  1. I think the story of Lady of the camellias is widely known and does not deviate much (except for the episode with Manon) from the opera La Traviata, which everyone probably knows. Some productions of La Traviata also start with an auction, I suspect Zeffirelli's version for example. The use of color for the costumes is iconic, and the two most famous pas de deux, often performed separately at galas, are referred to as the white and the black pas de deux.
  2. For me, Die Kamiliendame is Neumeier's best work. And Chopin's music seems to me to be beautiful and perfectly in line with the story and the choreography. I know this ballet from various videos, and the Viennese performance made a big impression on me. I'm going to see him live at the Vienna Opera in May.
  3. It is of great importance to me personally, because on 8.4. I will buy tickets to the ONP for the whole season, possibly to other theaters, and I won't have much space left for the ROH, where I reserve only certain dancers. Damage.
  4. Oh my God, that is probably the latest deadline for announcing a new season of any theater company in Europe. The Paris Opera will be for subscribers on 8.4. pre-sale for the ENTIRE new season has started.
  5. For an interesting from a review in a magazine Dance Europe about Don Q pdd: This shared joy was present inspades in the final item, the oldfavourite, Don Quixote. It wasgiven an electric performancefrom Natalia Osipova and GiorgiaPotskhishvili, Dutch NationalBallet's newest principal. Sheis an established favourite withThe Royal Ballet, and many inthe audience would have seenher dance the role of Kitri, butathis was a new interpretationthat saw her in buoyant mood, playing with the choreographylike a delighted child with a newatoy. Her solo saw her skimmingthe stage on pointe and whizzingthrough relevés at breakneckspeed. Her fouettés kept up thepace, with unorthodox armsand a wide smile. Potskhishvili,with a turbo-charged jump andthe ecstasy of a champion, tookto the air in truly spectacularajumps. They were obviouslyloving it and generously sharedtheir pleasure. The showcouldn't have had a betterclimax.
  6. I saw this production of Giselle at ONP 2 years ago and for me it is the most beautiful Giselle I have seen.
  7. Yes, Myriam Ould-Braham will retire as Giselle in May. I'm glad to see her as Giselle one last time. Marianela's guest appearance was already announced last year, and there was long speculation about her partner. Hugo Marchand has already confirmed his partnership on social networks. I am already looking forward to this performance, I think it will be something extraordinary.
  8. That was beautiful. The problem is with guests in full-length ballets. Perhaps only Manon, Mayerling and The Dante Project have the same choreography in ONP and ROH. Classical ballets are all presented at ONP in Nureyev's choreography, which is very specific (Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, Sleeping Beauty, La Bayadére, Cinderella, Don Quixote, Romeo and Juliet). This makes hosting very problematic.
  9. In my country, when we were completely dominated by the Soviet Union, only Soviet versions of Swan Lake were available, so anything other than a happy ending was out of the question. The breaking of the oath had no meaning at all, which was very significant for the time. It wasn't until Velvet Revolution that I saw a tragic ending for the first time, and honestly, I love it.
  10. Evelina Godunova currently works in the ballet company of the National Theater in Warsaw.
  11. I have a similar feeling. I much prefer Nureyev's version of The Lake, where Siegfried has beautiful variations in each act, actively fights Rothbart at the end, and the whole story is more about him than Odette/Odilie.
  12. I am very pleased with Lacotte's La Sylphide and Neumeier's Illusion like Swan Lake.
  13. Her Odetta/Odilia will definitely be amazing. I'm already looking forward to seeing her in partnership with Vadim in May in London and then in June in Rome.
  14. In Raymonda, he was supposed to perform at the ONP on 22, 25 and 27 December 2019, but the performances were canceled due to the strike.
