NYCB All Balanchine IV October 13 2023

So I know I just got done being all dark about Balanchine/the ballet in general, but this was great!

Concerto Barocco was wonderful, and in particular Mira Nadon was breathtakingly graceful, her small gestures and extensions...just gorgeous. Loved the music as well -- Bach concert for 2 violins -- and I thought the dancers expressed it beautifully.

Prodigal Son -- one of the oddest things I've seen at the ballet, but our queen Sarah Mearns rarely disappoints (though I must say I found myself a little concerned she would fall off/over during some of the truly odd lifts in this ballet). The corps, a hulking gang of bald-headed brutes in white make up gave a real Mad Max: Fury Road vibe, down to their head gestures. Weird, acrobatic, and fun, well matched to the Prokofiev score. A little too odd to express pathos, if that was the intent at any point.

Symphony in C -- music by Bizet. This was the audience's favorite, though for me maybe the least memorable. This was a big, beautiful ballet with a big cast, pirouette combinations and crowd favorite Tiler Peck receiving an ovation every time she entered the stage. You can definitely tell why she's a star -- her power and assurance never leave you in doubt about her utter control, and it's hard to look away from her when she's on stage.

man oh man I love your writing! and oh how I ADORE anything in the ballet AU! Of course this version of Annabeth is the perfect Kitri, because of course she can do everything including the spotting front (it is so hard, I will admit I sometimes cheat and spot side when going diagonal) And I would kill for the NYCB to do Don Q again, hopefully Stafford/Whelan will switch things up and stage it someday. Because while Marianela is SUBLIME as Kitri, I also really want to see Tiler and Mira do it too

Thank you! Annabeth can absolutely do everything. But it's also so much fun to play with her pride in the pre tuap stories. She's great and she knows it. She doesn't care that she's only 23. She's a principal too, and she wants the role. Older, more experienced dancers be damned.

By tuap she's been through enough that's she's more grounded. She's still great and she still knows it (in fact she knows she's better now than she was), but she's not so annoying about it.

I want NYCB to do Don Q so so so bad! It would be so good. And you're so right, Mira Nadon would be amazing. Tiler would be too, of course, but I would love to see Mira do it.

And yeah shout out to Royal Ballet for actually putting up full videos of performances. Absolutely life saving. I could watch Marianela for hours. Although, I am also hugely partial to Osipova. She was my true ballet gateway drug way back when she was still at the Bolshoi.
