The ABT casting just posted for the two repertory nights in Havana is sure to make the locals go crazy! The first night will include the Le Corsaire PdT with Jose Manuel Carreno, Paloma Herrera and Marcelo Gomes. The second night will include Carreno and Xiomara Reyes in the Diana and Acteon PdD. Carreno in that Acteon costume could start a Cuban riot.
Also of note: Isabella Boylston will perform in Theme and Variations on the second night with David Hallberg.
What Haglund wouldn't give to go to Cuba to cover this event. This is an opportunity of a lifetime. Hopefully, NYC's media local yokels will go down there so that we'll get reports of the week's events from several different angles.
Still looking for info on the Gala programing on Nov 5&6 and details about who will be traveling to Havana for NYCB although there are reports that they are dancing Tarantella, Liturgy, Chaconne PdD, Stars and Stripes PdD, In the Night, Other Dances and Who Cares?
