The Paris Opera Ballet will present its programs at the Koch Theater instead of the Met Opera House! After that scandalous pricing of the Mariinsky Ballet last summer and the Met's faceoff with the Lincoln Center Festival folks when LCF wanted to sell discounted day-of tickets at the Rubinstein Atrium, who is surprised that the LCF yanked their business from the Met?
Tickets are on presale for LCF members as of today with general sales starting on April 2. But all seats have not been released for sale yet. So, if you're looking for a particular viewpoint at a particular pricepoint, you may have to be patient and diligently check seating availability on a regular basis.
Prices are wide ranging with some reasonable points: $25, $65, $95, $125, $150. When they finally open the 4th Ring to sales, those prices will be $25 and $65. As we all know, the views from the 4th Ring are very good. There are $25 seats in the 2nd and 3rd Rings right now.
Haglund is so excited about seeing the Paris Opera Ballet's homegrown artists that he's going to all six of the Giselles and both of the other programs.

Hi Haglund:
Thanks again for alerting me months ago about the POB so I could keep my
calendar clear for their dates. Got my tix today. I am so excited about seeing them.
You should get a promotion fee from LCF.

I had the weirdest dream last night that I won the lottery and bought Stella her Giselle. Thought you’d appreciate that one.

PS – will I see you in Chicago on Sunday? I’ll be in the front section of orchestra right off the aisle. 🙂

Hi Rosalie. It’s going to be interesting to see how POB’s Giselle fits on the smaller stage. For sure, Bolero is going to be a lot more exciting with the closer proximity. OMG!

Rachel, that’s a good dream. My dream would include that her Giselle is halfway around the world, and I’d miss my plane getting there because the AirTrain broke down. Damn, what’s it going to take to see this woman dancing with the lilies?
For Chicago, we’re going to be up a level although I’m not exactly sure where. It’s a very large house, but you may hear me bellowing at the end.
