Leaping ahead to Boston Ballet's 2007-2008 Season ... and it looks good!

I just read an article about the upcoming season of the Boston Ballet from the Boston Globe on Boston.com (see here).

As I still am getting pumped for the rest of this season which includes a Classic Balanchine show and the infamous and tragic story of Giselle, I am excited to learn that during the fall after the Boston Ballet's planned Spain tour, other than the obvious productions of The Nutcracker, other shows will be enticing ballet fans throughout Boston.

The season opener (coincidentally today happens to be one for another sport; baseball) will be a program featuring Sorella Englund's "La Sylphide" along with two (short) pieces choreographed by Balanchine.

Later on in the season, Romeo and Juliet, will be one of the full-length ballets to grace the Citi Wang Centre and in May, Marius Petipa's "La Bayadère."

Next Generation, a world premiere from Jorma Elo (your favorite resident choreographer of the Boston Ballet and mine), will arrive in March 2008.

The 2007-2008 season will finish up with Dark Elegies ,a company premiere of Anthony Tudor's production.

For detailed information on the productions, pieces, special performances and choreographers for the Boston Ballet 2007-2008 season, check out their official press release.
