"Rorate caeli desuper, et nubes pluant iustum"

Jane: Many thanks for that scenario link.  It makes Judas Tree seem a tad pale by comparison.  I see from "The Royal Ballet, The First 50 Years" that the first RB performance was at the Edinburgh Festival in August 1956, and that there were 10 performances in all, with no sign of any in later years.  It is summarised as 'unsatisfactory,' with "Somes miscast as the sinister but pathetic central figure."  So, whatever has happened elsewhere, it didn't last long enough with the RB to age at all!   (It doesn't figure in the Rep for the Touring Company back then, but I guess BRB may have had a go with it in later years.)

Earlier this morning, BBC Radio 3 was investigating recordings of Bartok's Miraculous Mandarin, apparently a 'Pantomime Ballet' first put on in Cologne in 1926.  In some 13 years of doing Links I can't recall seeing it mentioned anywhere, and I submit it as a prime candidate for 'having aged badly.'  Is it in any company's current rep?  (A very noisy score in places, it seems.)

 

 

 

Zenaida Yanowsky - perfection!  She could never 'age badly.'  Thank you. 

 

Looks like you can hear the concert on Tuesday evening on BBC Radio 3:

From X/Twitter, for what it's worth - I've not found anything to corroborate the story.   If true, presumably he'd leave The Mariinsky?
