billboyd Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Sounds great! -Any chance this may come to the Coliseum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Wall Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) I would imagine this venture in Italy will have a great deal of the material that was in the last Men in Motion at the Coliseum. Certainly it suggets it might from the line up. I very much look forward to the next one in London. There are so many fine men dancing internationally to join in the Putrov's imaginative celebration ... I would love to see Mathias Heymann do Manfred or Tyler Angle and Robert Fairchild in something .... say that lovely Lar Lubovitch central duet that Northern Ballet so fetchingly reminded us of recently. Just so much to engage. Edited May 20, 2014 by Meunier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Sounds great! -Any chance this may come to the Coliseum? I too was going to say that it sounds as though it has already been there Worth seeing, if it is the same one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveclassics Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) I'd be tempted to tie it in with a trip to Puccini's residence in Torre del Lago, not too far away. Edited for factual correction - he was actually born in Lucca. Edited May 20, 2014 by loveclassics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAB Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Lucca is a lovely town and you can visit Puccini's birthplace which is now a museum. Every evening they have Puccini recitals in one of the local churches, it was quite an experience to hear the 'Te Deum' scene from Tosca actually sung in a baroque church. I also went to the local opera house on a Sunday morning to hear two very talented young ladies from the local conservatoire play the piano. It's very close to Pisa so you could visit the leaning tower while you're at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caspermil Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Putrov's Men in Motion at La Versiliana was - as always - great. The programme was as follows: 1. L'apres midi d'un faune (Klimentova/Kolb) 2. Adagio (Merkukriev) 3. Swan Lake pdd (Watson/Putrov) 4. Petruska (Matiakis) 5. Berlin (Walter) 6. Le Train Bleu (Muntagirov) 7. Volver, Volver (Watson) 8. Travelling (aka Log in/Log out) (Merkuriev) 9. Le spectre de la rose (Klimentova/Muntagirov) 10. Beginning (Kolb) 11. Lacrimosa (Walter) 12. Closing solo from Merkuriev's own stunning and emotional ballet 'The Shout' (Krik) which premiered in Odessa earlier this year 13. In Duet (Putrov/Matiakis). Altogether a wonderful programme with superb performances all round. Can't wait for the next staging of Men in Motion! Bravo Ivan and your stellar cast! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Sounds interesting. Noting that the Swan Lake pdd features 2 males, I'm guessing it's the Matthew Bourne version which Watson performed at the Linbury last week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
