It's hard to tell highlights, amazing company (Soloists and corps!!) and great production, I loved all of it. Ok yes highlights were: everything when David Hallberg was onstage, all Goecke (with surprising humor in "Johann"), and the "Beethoven" - such amazing work for the corps (thank you Paul Lightfoot). Ah it was a bliss❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Same here. Incredible piece, David Hallberg was gorgeous! I had to watch it again, especially Brett Chynoweth in that Goecke solo (I hope it was him). Any chance to bring it on DVD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FionaM Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Agree with all the superlatives on Kunstkamer .. my only regret that i did not have not time for a rewatch! Thanks to Australian Ballet for continuing to provide streams when other companies seem to have given up. A compelling show! Such inventive choreography in collaboration ... an interesting concept that brought out the best in each. Impressive performances by excellent dancers. And how wonderful it is to have humor in new choreography, as well as challenging movement and work for the ensemble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relatively speaking…even though that city no longer appears to be in the Russian priority list for take-over. We usually see only the lovely facade in photos but the back opens up to a hill and park overlooking the Black Sea. The famous staircase in the Eisenstein film, Battleship Potemkin, is but a few steps away. I don’t know what’s happened to the main opera/ballet theater in Donetsk…the big theatre with a ballet troupe in Donbas. 😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorDerry Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Sorry I am late with my reply to art enthusiast but I just noticed the post asking about monkey pox. Putting on my professional hat rather than my ballet lovers tiara. There is no need to think in terms of lockdowns and pandemic. Monkey pox is not easy to transmit and requires close personal contact such as within a family or sexual contact. so no risk to the wider population ,of interest it can be caught by family pets. Hope this helps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 This is the first time I have seen Giselle with a different cast in each act. Not sure why, but it is clearly planned that way from La Scala. See link attached from Google streaming.

DanJL Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 This was during a covid lockdown I think, or at least strong restrictions in Italy. I think it was to help by having separate bubbles for each act. It was mentioned somewhere on the forum at the time so there may be more info there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
