alison Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Mayerling? That's a new one on them, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizbie1 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Looks an improvement on this season! I'm thinking of heading over for Raymonda and/or the Balanchine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stucha Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Surprising that they are doing Raymonda again given that after the last run in 2008/9 the sets and costumes were discarded being way beyond their use by date. There is some speculation that they may use those of the Vienna company which has the same production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Q Fan Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I would like to see Raymonda and the Balanchine at the Bastille if I can get a ticket. Plenty of matinees on the Balanchine run too which is great for a day trip. Was going to pass on Mayerling but the thought of Alu as Rudolph might change my mind but again without advance casting it's hard to book anything for specific dancers as tickets so fast as well plus if it's the Garnier I will think twice anyway as it's so uncomfortable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I’ve never been there - can anyone advise how the Garnier amphitheatre compares to the upper slips at Covent Garden or the Balcony at the Coliseum? I know the subject has been touched on in other threads but as it has arisen here... Edited March 13, 2019 by Lizbie1 Dangling participle fixed!

Bruce Wall Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 The amphitheatre seats in the Garnier can be a very tight squeeze ... and if you find yourself in the back end (as is my wont) or in the amphitheatre stalls on the sides be prepared to squeeze (should it be a popular programme) into the flesh of others on those benches. If creature comfort are a considerable priority it might be best to find a perch elsewhere methinks - or go to programmes at the more accommodating Bastille. Hope that is of some help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaffa Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 The Paris Opera Ballet School Demonstrations (usually on three days in different December weekends) will this year be on 15th December (Sunday) and 21st and 22nd December (the Saturday and Sunday before Christmas). As usual, the performances on all three days will be the same - Usually, the younger grades are in the morning and the older grades are in the afternoon. The Demonstrations are always amazing and give an incredible insight into the School's system of training... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it once never ever again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
