I watched it last night using the link provided by Jane S in the specific RDB streaming thread. I thought it was good too, Janet.... but NOTHING beats Ashley (lovely to see her at the RDB curtain call - Balanchine certainly knew her strengths when he created it for her and devilishly difficult it is too) and Woetzel (both had that acute laser like attack and musicality through speed) in my opinion. I was so lucky to see them do it any number of times. Seventeen minutes of utter bliss. NEVER to be forgotten.

Thank goodness the likes of YouTube can give us insights into other dancers who were around either before our time or in companies we don't have the opportunity to see live. And, indeed, to see dancers of whom we have fond memories. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninamargaret Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Hamburg ballet in Death in Venice. Weird and almost wonderful. I do wonder what a ballet by Neumeier made for Ed Watson would have been like. Lloyd Riggins is totally mesmerising and I noticed that Alexandre Riabko who danced the name part in Nijinsky is in it.Looking forward to their other programmes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I can imagine him in so many Neumeier roles, also as Nijinsky... Cojocaru made a great choice to become guest principal at Hamburg. Neumeier's works may be tedious for some British or American ballet audiences, but they are heaven for dramatic dancers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 I must say how much I've appreciated being able to keep ballets playing in picture-in-picture mode on my screen while I've been working. Vimeo has that option, and another streaming program, but I don't think YouTube does, does it? If it does, please do let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naomi M Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Japan's Star Dancers Ballet is currently streaming Ballet Dragon Quest, based on the popular video game.
