Look, look, look. Quick before you miss it. The New York Times has published an entire article about the New York Philharmonic NOT GOING to Cuba – complete with one sentence about ABT and NYCB who ARE GOING to the International Ballet Festival in Havana. It seems that the NY Phil's insistence on taking its rich donors on its trip is the obstacle to getting government approval. Wow, what a worthy story – major news that's fit to print – far more important than the actual successful implementation of ABT's and NYCB's Cuba plans. Geeze Louise.

Haglund–Feel free to delete after reading, but I thought you might find this excerpt from Jennifer Homans’ book on ballet to be interesting. I at least would be curious to get your reaction. http://www.tnr.com/article/books-and-arts/78263/ballet-over

Hi Marie. Thanks for the link to the excerpt from Jennifer Homans’ book. I found it rather verbose and rambling. Her complaints are certainly loud, but not very persuasively argued for the most part. Her attack on the reconstruction of Nijinsky’s Rite of Spring done by Millicent Hodson with Robert Joffrey suggests that Homans didn’t do much research on that topic.
But of course, she’s entitled to her opinion, which is what most of the excerpt was.
