YOU'RE BACK! I just wanted you to know that I saw Chloe Misseldine's O/O debut live! It was my first ballet live that wasn't the local nutcracker. It was a magnificent debut! What gorgeous lines, port de bras. She also makes every arabesque a moment. Her partnership with Aran was great, they really told the tragic love story quite well. Her Odile was seductive and captivating as much as her Odette was sweet and tragic. Act II and IV both made me tear up a little. And the Act II coda ending was chef's kiss. To see the growth in her over the last few years have been magical.

I'm trying to be back! It's been a hectic season!!

I'm overjoyed to hear that you had such a marvelous experience watching Swan Lake and also ecstatic to hear yet another positive review. The tension and expectation for her Met debut this summer feels huge but I'm sure she will rise to the challenge. I was hoping to be in NYC this summer in time with ABT's season but it looks like it won't be happening. ABT is always so hush hush with the videos...I'm sure we'll see some clips!

ABT (and the precarious finances of dance in the US)

If you closely follow ABT on social media, then you know that company dancers have been working under an expired contract since the fall and have recently authorized a strike. Living and working in NYC is so expensive. They need a living wage, as do the musicians, stagehands, and staff behind the scenes. Performing artists in the U.S. have it tough and need support. That said, my friend is an ABT subscriber and with her membership, she was granted special Zoom access to a Swan Lake studio rehearsal with Catherine Hurling and James Whiteside with Susan Jaffe coaching. (There were major tech issues at first, but the video then came through beautifully.) If you can, please consider a gift to ABT, either a one time donation in support of the dancers or an annual subscription that will give you special behind-the-scenes access to the company and its wonderful dancers, discounts on tickets and stage rehearsals. Also, if you're in the DC area — go but tix to their upcoming run of Swan Lake at the Kennedy Center. Chloe Misseldine will make her debut as Odette/Odile.

swan lake by american ballet theatre (2005) - pas de trois erica cornejo, herman cornejo, xiomara reyes

what really jumped out at me watching this now, besides the fact that you have three powerhouse dancers (and erica and herman are also siblings) who went on to be principals, is the musicality. especially of xiomara reyes (who appears third in this clip). it's like you can see the music by watching the flow of her arms, legs and even her head in turns. just gorgeous. it's stretching out the moment between beats, playing with the timing so you're still on the beat but maybe a tiny bit faster or slower in between. not sure how to describe it. what i always aspired to

also swan lake is probably my favorite work by tchaikovsky too so i actually will watch it solely because of the music lol. the end of this pas is on the list of my favorites. so exuberant! agh. puts a big old smile on my face

Swan Lake Tragedy Aesthetic

My interpretation of different versions of Swan Lake:

Royal Ballet: classical core + contemporary touches, tragedy, expressive, power in play in addition to the traditional romance, Odette is fragile but with strong dignity, freedom in death

American Ballet Theatre: Classical core, more dramatic, more fairy tale like, very passionate Odette, freedom or death, all consuming love, love defeats evil even in death. Very heroic, very American.

Mariinski: Classical to the core… least expressive even in Russian standards. Impeccable technique. Almost no storytelling, only choreography. But impeccable technique. Happy ending, of course…

Bolshoi: Impeccable technique, somewhat more expressive than Marrinski. Tragic and depressive ending… Odette condemned in a body of a swan for all eternity.

Paris Opera Ballet: My personal least fav, the technique… ok maybe I’m just not into French ballet. But the PORT DE BRAS is just unbearable to me. Why do the sorcerer and the Prince have more chemistry??!!
