April 2015
Dear
Balletomane,
I
have negotiated an extension on the ticket deadline with Paris Opera
Ballet, so this trip will now be booking in September. Over 30 people
have already asked to be on the priority mailing list when the trip
is launched, and I only have room for 19 on the trip! So if you want
to be among those who have first dibs, let me know now. For
preliminary info on the trip, please click here:

Potential
New Trips
Please
let me know if you might be interested in any of the following. At
this point I am just establishing where people's interests and
availabilities lie, not asking for a commitment
Berlin
and Dresden
The
group who recently went to Vienna and Prague were most impressed by
Dresden's company (which is currently viewed as a hot ticket amongst
ballet cognoscenti), delighted to meet its charming and eloquent
Canadian artistic director, and also were wowed by the city's
spectacular opera house and other fine architecture.

Videos!
In
this moving piece, retiring Paris Opera Ballet dancer Véronique
Doisneau
looks back on the joys and sorrows of her career. It's definitely
worth watching the whole thing: if you click on the first video it
will lead automatically to the subsequent ones, but if you're short
on time, make sure you watch the third one, which will give you new
insights into what it means to be "human decoration" in
the corps.
