I have always found it very difficult to find out where Alina is going to perform and its rather late now for me to try and get there! Well it’s still doable … plenty of tickets for the shows available still. And it’s easy to book a flight and hotel. No need for tests to fly if you are vaccinated. If triple vax then easy access to all venues. Double vax needs a formal negative test as well. Plus FFP2 masks. Hoping I understand Hamburg rules correctly 🤞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recording has its place though … for the many for whom it’s too far to travel, or can’t travel, or can’t afford a theatre ticket. There are so many different formats too … DVD, online and cinema relay. Neumeier does himself, his dancers and his many wonderful creations a disservice by not making them more widely available. Sigh. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked my blu-ray collection and I've recordings of the following Neumeier ballets - Beethoven Project, La Dame aux Camélias, Ghost Light, A Midsummer NIght's Dream, Nijinsky, and Tatiana.

Angela Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) Neumeier is very keen on getting his ballets recorded, he works with German TV stations which makes the recordings less expensive for everyone involved. Nowadays, almost all of his new works get recorded by arte, NDR or some other TV station, and subsequently available on DVD. What Fiona probably meant is that Hamburg's streaming activities during the lockdowns in Germany were rather zilch - some of his very old recordings like Kameliendame, but nothing new, none of the videos for in-house company use like NYCB or Stuttgart Ballet did, no live streams like Munich or Vienna. I don't know if they don't have the technical equipment at the Hamburg Opera House or if Neumeier is too much perfectionist to stream something he did not check before. I might suspect the latter, if I had not seen the astoundingly sloppy corps de ballet dancing on his new Mid Summer Night's Dream DVD. So yes, live theatre is great - but we were all so thankful how most companies opened their archives generously and helped us over the lockdowns. Not so Mr. Neumeier.

FionaM Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) Alina’s last performance of Liliom in Hamburg is tonight. She will be dancing in a gala arranged by Hamburg principal Jacopo Bellussi in Genova on 8th April 2022 at the Teatro Carlo Felice. Booking is not yet open. They have been rehearsing a pdd from Die Kameliendame for this gala. Edited February 27, 2022 by FionaE Grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very exciting for three reasons (Alina, Ratmansky and seeing what the company will look like). Edited July 15, 2022 by Emeralds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emeralds Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Alina danced 2 performances of Manon with Queensland Ballet in their new production of Kenneth MacMillan’s Manon (with his widow Deborah overseeing rehearsals). Artistic director Li Cunxin and his wife Mary Li (nee McKendry), both former stars of Houston Ballet and other companies, joined the cast portraying GM and Madame respectively in some performances. Lucky Queensland audiences! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natalia is a much more relevant role and Cojocaru danced it opposite Revazov in previous run. I am happy she is not dancing Natalia in this cast: Odette can stand alone, as Marguerite surprisingly and splendidly did in Venice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
