observations 7-30

If you haven't seen National Ballet of Canada's The Winters Tale, rush to get a ticket to one of the final three performances at Lincoln Center. Check back here tonight or tomorrow for Haglund's review.

Monday at 10:00am, BAM single tickets for its 2016 Next Wave Festival go on sale to the general public. That includes tickets to Mikhail Baryshnikov's acclaimed evening of theater based on Nijinsky's diaries. Performances for Letter to a Man will run from October 15 through October 30. This production is bound to be much more interesting than most everything else around town at that time.

Sarasota Ballet arrives at the Joyce Theater in ten days with its Frederick Ashton program of gems. Come on, people. This company is doing important work and we need to support it with butts in the seats. There are no bad seats at the Joyce. Get your tickets here.

    Haglund,
    I am awaiting your review. Tell me, please, why cannot ABT’s Corsaire have half as convincing a shipwreck as Winter’s Tale? Actually, why can’t ABT have any production values half as good as what I saw on Friday night?

    Two letters: AD 🙂 and perhaps a better board!? I would think a strong leadership could change things?! I don’t know the makings in Canada but I can bet they’re not run like what’s been happening at ABT?
