Houston Ballet is taking Giselle to the Detroit Opera House on November 1st & 2nd. We're not sure where else the company might tour the production. If Jared Matthews and Yuriko Kajiya are cast as Albrecht and Giselle, Haglund will gas up the ole Gisellemobile for a quick trip to the Motor City. There'll be room for one more in the cab with the cats and then plenty of space in the back, if anyone wants to come along.
If this truck could float, we'd be pedal-rowing our way over to the Thrilla in Manila in September where Stella Abrera will dance Giselle for the Ballet Philippines Gala Performance. The supporting foot in the above-linked photograph is enough to start Haglund weeping. Stella's fundraising drive to rebuild a school in the aftermath of the typhoon is gaining momentum and now has new FB and Twitter pages.

The second episode of Secret Lives of Dancers that features the Royal New Zealand Ballet has been uploaded to the same place where this season's first episode is located. If you need the link, just email Haglund. We're not publishing it in an effort to make it available for viewing a little longer before it is discovered and blocked.

I hope someone is planning to shoot a video of Stella’s
performance…

I imagine that ABT has aggressively interfered with any effort to capture the performance on video, unless they can have full control over it. ABT is happy as a lark to have Misty Copeland planting pictures of her big naked jugs on her Instagram account (you know, for the benefit of her young followers in the Boys and Girls Clubs of America), but god forbid that we should ever see any video of Stella Abrera in a leading principal role.

OMG, Nanushka. Veronika will be Giselle at the Mariinsky in two weeks. How wonderful! I wonder who her partner will be. It’s such a shame that these things are kept under a hat until the last minute.
Wow.
