„So much to tell“ (Peter Breuer): Pas de Quatre reinvented
The boys in the tour were naughty ones and prepared for the next evening a „parody“ of it… and the audience nearly „fell apart“… Here Cyrill Athanasoff, Peter Breuer, Vladimir Vassiliev and Jimmy Urban (in the front Fernando Bujones). They used the „girls‘ costumes“ which had to be sewn on the back for obvious reasons… but isn’t this marvelous? I am blessed with the opportunity of „saving history“!

Balanchine – Neumeier – Robbins:
Vienna State Ballet, May 3rd, 2018
Liudmila Konovalova’s début in “Theme and Variations” was the “icing on the cake” of a continuous increase of quality during the last weeks. She has a rare quality: „understanding“ to Mr. B.’s unique style – so misunderstod today by company’s that are not really connected with the New York Coty Ballet. Chapeau!
Great Denys Cherevychko, a very reliable partner, a quality I much respect, again brought down the house with his explosive, nearly pyrotechnical combinations of pirouettes and tours en l’air – that seem “so easy” when done by him…
