SheilaC Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I'm surprised they aren't ending each performance with the wonderful Revelations, as they usually do. It will be good to see Ailey's The River again. I have read that the invited company next year, 2016, will be New York City Ballet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they are doing Revelations 10 times over the course of the run. Presumably they are thinking of people who are going to see moret than one program and don't necessarily want to see Revelations EVERY time.

alison Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Well, that's a really long season. What sort of capacity is the theatre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Wall Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Well, that's a really long season. What sort of capacity is the theatre? The Chatalet has a seating capacity of approximately 2,500 so it is larger than, say, the ROH main theatre at 2,256 and certainly larger than the Palais Garnier. The Chatalet traditionally has a long dance season with one company every year in this specific time slot. Indeed, the display cases on the first balcony level feature displays from each company who has been prominent in this spot (e.g., NYCB, MCB, etc. and even those like AA who have had repeat showings). Last year SFB did 38 different programmes in three weeks. It was a very exciting season and well attended. Anyone wishing to attend I would suggest that you buy tickets directly from the box office on your arrival rather than over the internet if you wish to save money. This is what I did for both SFB and An American in Paris and had no problem at all and got very good seats from a sightline perspective at a very reasonable price (circa eight Euro/£6).

aileen Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Is it easy to get tickets? I'd love to see NYCB in Paris as I'm unlikely to be going to NY any time soon. When does booking open and is the website (is it the POB one?) easy to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 No, the festival is at the Chatelet. I've clicked on Katherine's link and you can book direct with the theatre - here is a link to book for Ailey: http://chatelet-theatre.com/fr/event/alvin-ailey-american-dance-theater You can also sign up for a newsletter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheilaC Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 The Chatelet will be closed next year, Aileen, and I'm not sure if it will reopen in time for the July festival. Initially, 10 years ago, the festival was open air in the Marais, then after a few years moved to the Grand Palais, and then the Chatelet. That is a beautiful theatre, incredibly important to ballet history with its Ballets Russes heritage, and has wonderful views of Notre Dame and the Seine and other landmarks from the bars and salons on the first floor, but sight lines in the auditorium aren't universally good. The box office staff are very helpful. Anyone definitely planning to go this year and to use Eurostar, book quickly; I booked today for mid July and weekend prices are already getting high. Booking for the festival usually opens in early February, I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
