    Just bought tix for this performance. Don’t know what I’d do without you, Haglund!

    Angelica, I’m trying my best to get people to spend money in this sputtering economy!
    Can’t wait to see Nina again and to see her personal stamp on those lovely dancers.

    Well, I plunked a small fortune on these tickets, so they’d better be good seats. But where will they put the orchestra? Or will it be an ensemble of balalaikas? Also, do you know these ballets? I loved The Bright Stream, but Anna Karenina and The Little Humpbacked Horse weren’t especially well received when the Mariinsky presented them this summer. I saw the other program, Carmen Suite and Symphony in C. Wasn’t crazy about the Carmen choreography, but I wouldn’t have wanted to miss seeing Lopatkina. I’m putting my trust in Nina, who is nothing short of a miracle, and in your enthusiasm.

    I don’t know what they’ll do with the orchestra. Maybe they will arrange it on stage somewhat the way ABT did for its AFH performances.
    I’ve not see these three early Ratmansky pieces live but am especially looking forward to Dreams About Japan.
    I skipped the Mariinsky’s Anna Karenina and the rep program because of the ridiculous prices. But I managed to see the opening night of The Little Humpbacked Horse with a half price ticket. It was okay, not more, and had too many repeats of Bright Stream moments. It certainly didn’t speak to the great Mariinsky’s strengths. It made them look rather generic, IMHO.

    Thanks, Haglund, as always, for your informed POV. I hope that the performance will be better than okay. In any event, it will be a special treat to see Nina again. Glad it’s a company other than the Mariinsky this time.
