Dear Balletomane,
PLEASE read your newsletter! To spare your inbox, I typically send this newsletter out only once a month (sometimes at shorter intervals depending on signup deadlines). When I do send one out, there is crucial time-sensitive information in it. Plus stuff you will enjoy! I will always mention the trips first, because I have to be sure you will see that. But my newsletters aren't just about my ballet trips, so do keep reading.
In this newsletter
1) Stuttgart - Munich Ballet Trip Now Booking
2) New York, Hamburg, and Saratoga Springs
3) Vienna and Prague
4) Royal Ballet broadcasts in Canada
5) Ballet 422: A Documentary about New York City Ballet
6) Other upcoming ballet events
7) Bavarian State Ballet to livestream new Ratmansky Paquita
8) Videos

New
York in May: New York City Ballet and American Ballet
Theatre
Hamburg in July: Hamburg Ballet and Houston Ballet
Saratoga Springs mid-July weekend: New York City Ballet
Signup will be in January and February. If you are the least bit interested, it is important that you let me know, so that I have an idea of how many ballet tickets and hotel rooms to have on hold. No commitment required. You can change your mind once the brochure comes out. But if only 10 people tell me they might go, then suddenly 25 people want to sign up and I don't have that many ballet tickets or hotel rooms on hold, you are out of luck!
For Saratoga Springs, I would look at organizing transport from Toronto and Ottawa, so let me know if you would be taking advantage of that.
Hamburg in July: Hamburg Ballet and Houston Ballet
