no clue - the closest I have come to seeing ballet movies is White Nights http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090319/plotsummary and The Turning Point http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076843/

both of which i enjoyed immensely

I have never seen a live ballet unless you count the Vixter's dance recitals when she was a sprig of a twig of a lass

After that, back here to continue reconstructing ROBERTA scores. I rceived from Joshie the pdf files of the first 20 numbers in the DEAREST ENEMY vocal score to print out and peruse.

DR Ben, aren't you seeing ONCE tonight?

BK, last night you posted after I mentioned a trip to Baltimore:
So you'll be gone just in time for my visit. Figures.
Then you posted that you're arriving on March 10! I fail to see how a trip to Baltimore on March 7 or 8 for one day conflicts with your trip to Manhattan. Given that I'm bitter and have no sense of humor, I see no conflict.

THE RED SHOES
THE TURNING POINT

I am not a big fan of classical ballet. It tends to put me to sleep. However, I do enjoy the modern schools of dance that are evident in the choreography of Martha Graham, Alvin Ailey, Paul Taylor and Twyla Tharp. And I do like it when choreographers such as Ballenchine and Bourne adapt classical principles to modern staging.

Post by: Ginny on February 28, 2012, 07:13:51 AM: Tuesday morning greetings! Right after Richard and I had dinner last night, I headed out to attend an AAUW board meeting. Got to the end of our block and knew something was not right with my car, so I circled the block, pulled into the garage, and - sure, enough - there's a flat tire. I took Richard's car to the meeting and today we're dealing with mine and I suspect there are 2 new tires in my immediate future.

Post by: Ginny on February 28, 2012, 07:18:55 AM: TOD - I've seen SWAN LAKE twice and liked it both times. In 1980, I saw it at Lincoln Center by the American Ballet Theatre and in 2008 at University of Cincinnati's College Conservatory of Music. Of course, I'm partial to the CCM production because my (now) DD-i-L Mary Linda was in the company.

My favorite ballet movie, and one of my favorite movies in general, is THE TURNING POINT.

And I can't discuss ballet without re-posting this picture of Mary Linda:

one pdf of the Full Scores, No 9 Entr'Acte, will not print on the office computer; everything else so far of the first eleven numbers printed fine, but No 9 is a problem: the copier revs up to print it and then deletes it. Today, I tried printing out the first 20 numbers of Joshie's new vocal score pdf. No 9 will not print! Neither will No 17.

I rebooted all the office equipment, shut down things, started them up again and nothing will print that score, either P-V or Full Score. I can print them both here on 8x11, but he scores look different on this printer. I sent the files to Joshie at City Center. Everything printed fine. What the hell is going on?

I used to music direct for a "new thought" church here in Portland and they had this daffy old lady (as in her 80's or 90's) that used to dress up in a toga and big purple sash and do interpretive dance for various holidays. I found it's hard to play piano/organ when you're giggling madly under your breath. ;)

She's a little stressed today; the tv people said they were trying to get Turner, the ass who caused all of her problems, to be on the program as well for his side of the story. She really doesn't want to be near him and she's frightened of him. He's a pig and a bully. She called her friend Thelma, whose advice was "he won't show; he wouldn't show up in court so why would he want millions of tv viewers to see his mug?"

She also did a bit of subway travel by herself today to Times Square to shop for friends, and I think she's going to be great on the program.

Anyway, is there some place to get a copy of the booklet? Or to read it? To find out what the songs are all about? Who wrote them? Who's in the show? Etc.?

I will say, I liked the song "Good Morning, Gun," which has a part about eating squirrel in it. Didn't know any squirrel eating songs before.

Sometimes, an electronic booklet is available for downloaded music titles. However, most times one isn't. That's my biggest problem with downloadable music..no booklet or other information or documentation. When I buy a physical CD, it always comes with something, so the information exists. It's just that very few are available.

:P is what I say to that.

Post by: bk on February 28, 2012, 03:26:27 PM: Wow, I got so caught up in the morning's activities, this is the first time I've had to post. I had a long telephonic call with Montreal, Canada, which may or may not result in some Kritzerland projects. I then had to write the blurbs for and prep our new releases for announcement in the morning. They are both great, one features a beloved score to a beloved classic 1960s romantic film entitled A Man and a Woman - even though there have been three previous CD releases of the score, they were all licensed from the overseas rights' holders - unfortunately those people didn't and don't have the original album masters, and so provided third or fourth generation mono tapes (or LPs) for those CDs, which sound wretched. This is the first ever CD release from the original stereo album masters, and as a bonus we've included the English-language version as well as the French. A fabulous release and do NOT dally on this one, as the film has a huge number of fans who will be very happy to buy this release.

The other title is a double-bill CD of The Fuzzy Pink Nightgown by Billy May, and A Breath of Scandal by Alessandro Cicognini - two delightful scores that were originally released on Imperial LPs.

I actually disagree with this. His program is not like that. Whenever you present one side of the story you need to give the other side a chance to respond. I am sure he/Turner would never go on tv. And while I think they should have warned DR Danise I bet they did not know seeing him would upset her. They probably thought that she would be happy that he would look like an ass on tv. I hope tha she spoke up to the producers and told them how she felt.

I'm sure JR and I would be most happy to help with the liner notes on the Frances Farmer soundtrack compilation disc I'm positive you already have planned.

Well this has not been a good day.

My brother in law got the FULL news at last. He has Stage 4 Cancer of one lung, some lymph nodes, and it has invaded his bones.

He begins his chemotherapy on Thursday, but no radiation.

Just kind of makes my problems....seem like.....NO PROBLEM at all.

I know two people who are still around years after a similar diagnosis. Stage 4 ain't what it used to be, thankfully. Vibes.

Obviously, that is only my opinion, given the fact that Danise was shocked to find out that Turner had been invited. Seems suspicious to me. But I don't know from Anderson Cooper, so I will go by the opinion of those who do know and respect him.
Since you did not know the kind of show it is I think your assumption was fair. But I would think for those trashy shows that they would not have told the person involved at all. Just surprise the person on air. I am glad for DR danise that he is not going to show up.

Post by: George on February 29, 2012, 12:06:05 AM: Well...I enjoyed Love Never Dies, but didn't love it. The singers were great, and the few unique songs were good, but the overall story was missing something. I don't know what, but there wasn't as much of an emotional connection compared to POTO.

Post by: Matthew on February 29, 2012, 12:09:39 AM: Saw the National Tour of Mamma Mia this eve. 4th time. Set was majorly scaled back, but it worked, although I didn't like paying $70 to see the stage hands turn the set... The band had 2 keyboards instead of the usual 4, and the sound was great. Overall, it was a fun time. I went with 2 Mamma Mia virgins, so that was always fun.
Title: Re: AT THE BALLET
Post by: Matthew on February 29, 2012, 12:17:05 AM: I watched Love Never Dies this morning - and that's all I'm saying about how/when I saw it. But I must say, I teared up at the end which I wasn't planning on doing. It was better than I expected, but certainly not as good as POTO. I did feel there was some connection with the leads and I believed their story. There wasn't enough Phantom "magic", but there was bits and pieces of the POTO score woven into it's score and it really tied the two pieces together.

Did we need this? No, most certainly not. Sequels never work well. But it's not a bad show. However, this film from what I understand is a vast improvement over the original London production and from what I can tell from the original recording, I can totally believe that is true. I really wanted a roller coaster.

Good night.
