observations 10/20

A dear reader alerted us to Wiener Staatsoper’s production of Alexei Ratmansky’s Of Love And Rage being produced there under the title Kallirhoe. The performance is available for free streaming for two more days.

You can download the app for the Wiener Staatsoper from the App Store and create a free account . The entire ballet, which includes an appearance by Marcelo Gomes as König von Babylon, is available for the next two days.

We also noted that in other performances Cassandra Trenary performs the role of Kallirhoe.

It is such a shame that ABT failed to bring back this ballet after the year of its sensational premiere. Such waste of an opportunity.

    I loved this ballet!! Thank you Haglund and the reader for alerting us to the free stream of Kallirhoe. Everything was wonderful; the dancing, the costumes that moved so beautifully when the women turned, and of course, Ratmansky’s incredible choreography. This is a ballet that I would at least see twice during a run.

    Check out the schedule on Weiner Staatsoper’s website for more streams, including Die Fledermaus in November.
