capybara Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I'm planning on arriving late and going early - especially now that Cesar is cast. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I ‘ve been in two minds whether to book this or not but may give it a go with Corrales cast ...especially if he has to end up missing out on The Cellist... mcRae is still in rehab but working hard if Facebook posts are anything to go by! He is making an amazing recovery but would doubt we will be seeing him before the Autumn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beryl H Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I watched my new Natalia Osipova Blu-Ray last night, and it started with Natalia Osipova and Cesar Corrales rehearsing La Bayadere, they looked very good together, I was glad I've just bought a cheap ticket for their Prodigal Son!

CCL Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I haven’t seen Corybantic Games or Live Fire exercise before, but I’m curious and will probably book. Is there anyone who has enjoyed either or both of them, and would recommend this mixed bill? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anyone who has enjoyed either or both of them, and would recommend this mixed bill? My 2p worth: I'm in a minority, that really liked Live Fire Exercise. Its a series of 'typical' McGregor solos, duos and groups, in front of an ultra, ultra slow film of an explosion. Some found the backdrop distracting, others not keen on Mcgregor. I found the backdrop fascinating, and Wayne always manages to put in a few extraordinary steps that catch your eye and your breath. Corybantic Games I wasn't so keen on - there are some good moments, but I found the costumes hideous and couldn't get past that dislike. I don't remember particularly enjoying Prodigal Son - except when the Siren on stage 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninamargaret Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Haven't seen the McGregor, apart from a horribly fuzzy clip on You Tube. As zxDaveM says the costumes for Corybantic Games are rather offputting, but it's OK. Prodigal Son is, if memory serves correctly, rather different to the Balanchine we have become used to. So could be an interesting programme.Give it a try! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm365 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 having seen Live Fire Exercise once last time round, I'm giving it a miss this time. Will come in after the first interval. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I might go for a couple of performances and do LFE/Prodigal and Prodigal/Corybantic, I suppose. Or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
