My god, the role of the Siren looks beyond daunting, and kudos to anyone who tackles it. Ms. Reichlen does it splendidly, and the commentary really makes you appreciate her efforts.
Wow! Those videos with the commenting on the dancing, choreography and history are amazing! You get an insight into the mind of what Teresa Reichlen was expressing, the challenges and her overall thoughts. Would be great to hear Daniel's thoughts on this one as well. Thank you all for making these!
I LOVE this 'Anatomy of a Dance' series. Thank you so much to whoever dreamed it up, and thanks to the tech talent and dance talent that make the segments happen. So glad I'm subscribed!
Wasn't this the ballet where Balanchine and the score's composer, Sergei Prokofiev, had some serious ... let's call it “differences of opinion” to the point that Prokofiev refused to pay Balanchine for the choreography?
