Paris/Amsterdam or Munich Ballet trips in 2020

Tours en l'air 2020 trips
The ballet companies are (slowly) beginning to announce their 2019-20 seasons, and I can already offer two juicy possibilities:
1) Paris and Amsterdam in April (tulip time!)
2) Munich Ballet Week at the end of May
See below for more details. If you are potentially interested in either of these trips, please send me an email at toursenlair@gmail.com.
As more companies announce their seasons I will be able to propose more trips, but the Royal Ballet is not announcing their season till May and the Stuttgart Ballet always announce theirs in June, so it's a waiting game.
Why do I ask you to express a potential interest?
To arrive at the point where I have a detailed brochure with prices, I have to contact all the suppliers (hotels, theatres, restaurants, bus and train companies, etc.). This is wasted effort if I then find out only 6 people are even potentially interested in or available for a given trip. On the other hand, if 25 people are interested, I need to know that, so I can establish pricing and availability with the hotels before I can put a price on the package.
Also, once you have expressed a potential interest, you get to put in your two cents worth regarding the trip planning. Once I have issued a brochure, however, the itinerary is set in stone.
I know there will always be some people who have expressed a potential interest who then back out for whatever reason. This is perfectly ok.

Nureyev documentary in cinemas starting April 19


https://youtu.be/vHKgXI9O4dw

The documentary Nureyev will be shown in U.S. cities including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, San Diego, Denver, Minneapolis, St. Louis and Washington, DC starting April 19. 

Hot Docs Cinema in Toronto
Fri, Apr 19

Sat, Apr 20 9:15 PM
Sun, Apr 21 1:30 PM 6:30 PM
Mon, Apr 22 3:45 PM 6:30 PM

Wed, Apr 24 1:15 PM 6:30 PM

This striking and moving documentary from BAFTA nominated directors, Jacqui and David Morris, traces the extraordinary life of Rudolf Nureyev, the most famous male dancer that transcended fame in the dance world to become a pop culture icon of his time. It charts his rise from humble beginnings, to his eventual defection to the West, an event that shocked the world. 
The film contextualises not just the man but also the times in which he lived, discussing the politically charged divide between Russia and the West and the critical role that Nureyev played as a cultural and global phenomena. Blending never-before-seen footage, an original score by award-winning composer Alex Baranowski, and a spellbinding series of exclusive modern dance tableaux directed by Royal Ballet alumnus Russell Maliphant, Nureyev is a theatrical and cinematic experience like no other biopic.
