Competing on that Sunday will be New York City Ballet with a fantastic program that closes with Tiler Peck and Robert Fairchild in Balanchine's Who Cares? Technically, it would probably be possible to attend both the Bolshoi Ballet's cinemacast and the last part of the NYCB matinee if one woke up Sunday morning with the energy to do it.

We're pretty excited about the first week's cast of Ballo della Regina. Megan Fairchild, Joaquin De Luz, Ashley Laracey, Erica Pereira, Ashly Isaacs, and Lauren King should leave us breathless on Thursday and on Saturday evening.
