Aside from when it was used as a servicemen’s center during World War II, the theatre sat unused and in disrepair, until a 7-year-long fundraising campaign – led by Beatrice Spachner and the Auditorium Theatre Council – covered the costs of theatre renovation, culminating with a grand re-opening on October 31, 1967.

  • Auction Catalog
    Riverside Choral Society 2016 Salsa Dance Party and Benefit Auction Catalog 6:00 PM March 19, 2016 Mark Morris Center 3 Lafayette Avenue Brooklyn Live Auction Items 2016 1. Wine Treasures from the Rhone Valley | $200 Value Donated by Elliott Kaback and Patricia Woodard 2012 Chaillot Franck Balthazar. “The 2012 Cornas Chaillot (never destemmed and including some vines planted in 1911) is very racy and tight, with red currant and blackberry fruit studded with bay leaf, chalk and dark olive notes and backed by a pronounced iron note. Both in the glass and with time in the cellar, the fruit expands and surrounds the minerality while maintaining its balance, so don’t be spooked by these wines being “too minerally” in style. Both of the 2012s are a bit dark and broader in profile than the ‘13s, in step with the general vintage character for the two vintages in Northern Rhône reds.” Wine Spectator Nov 11, 2014 2014 Saint Joseph Alain Graillot. “Saint Joseph: Syrah (100%). Best drunk when fruitiest: lay down for 4-5 years.” Sometimes referred to as the Cote- Rotie’s less sophisticated little brother: smaller scaled, less complex, and less refined. “Saint-Joseph typically comes across as less sweet, and more rustic — and sometimes off-puttingly raw and austere to consumers who believe that Syrah should be a fruit bomb. But these wines are closer to my idea of classic Syrah.” WineAccess 2012 Condrieu René Rostaing La Bonnette. “Condrieu, the finest rendition of Viognier comes from the small Rhone Valley appellation of Condrieu, where the best wines from steep, granite-rich slopes show an exotic perfume of peach, apricot, pear, spring flowers, and honeysuckle; a rich but normally dry middle palate; and an overall sense of delicacy.

  • Introduction
    Introduction The World Ballet Festival Returns for Summer 2018 From the 14th World Ballet FestivalPhoto: Kiyonori Hasegawa For more than 40 years now, the most talented and renowned dancers have come to Tokyo from around the world to perform in the World Ballet Festival, which will once again be held this summer. When it was first introduced in 1976 under the leadership of Tadatsugu Sasaki, it was very rare for the star ballerinas of different companies or countries to share a stage. Its first edition caused an international sensation by bringing together three legends, Margot Fonteyn from the UK, Maya Plisetskaya from the Soviet Union and Alicia Alonso from Cuba. Since then stars such as Jorge Donn, Patrick Dupond, Sylvie Guillem, Alessandra Ferri, Manuel Legris and Vladimir Malakhov have become regular participants, bringing the audiences to a storm of excitement every time and inspiring them to watch and compare all the dancers perform. The circle of energy created between audiences and artists in this festival produces an atmosphere that motivates dancers to perform to the best of their abilities, and has resulted in many legendary performances. Featuring the world's leading dancers, all from different artistic backgrounds and representing a wide variety of repertoire and styles, the festival also offers an opportunity to observe an overview of today's ballet scene. While there are now many similar festivals, the quality of both artists and audiences at the World Ballet Festival continues to be amongst the highest in the world. Ballet is an art form that unites finely tuned bodies and minds with sophisticated powers of expression, to create a deep and lasting impression on the audience members.

    English National Ballet Cinderella in-the-round Royal Albert Hall Thursday 06 – Sunday 16 June 2019 Tickets: ballet.org.uk/cinderella / royalalberthall.com/cinderella / 0845 401 5045 This summer English National Ballet performs their biggest production to date, a new, in-the- round version, of Christopher Wheeldon’s Cinderella at the Royal Albert Hall (06–16 June 2019.) Principal casting for the production is announced today and sees Lead Principals Alina Cojocaru and Isaac Hernández, Lead Principals Erina Takahashi and Joseph Caley, Lead Principal Jeffrey Cirio and Guest Artist Maria Kochetkova, and First Soloist Emma Hawes and Principal Francesco Gabriele Frola dance the roles of Cinderella and Prince Guillaume respectively. Kochetkova joins English National Ballet as Guest Artist for performances of Cinderella having previously danced the title role with San Francisco Ballet. Born in Moscow, the international ballet star trained at the Bolshoi Ballet School before going on to dance with companies across the world including The Royal Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, the Mariinsky and Mikhailovsky Theatres, and English National Ballet (2003-2007). Also announced today are those dancing the role of Benjamin, the prince’s friend: Jeffrey Cirio, Francesco Gabriele Frola, Soloist Ken Saruhashi, and First Artist Barry Drummond. Co-produced by English National Ballet and the Royal Albert Hall, Wheeldon’s inventive staging, with over 130 dancers working on the production, combines magnificent sets and costumes, theatrical surprises, and lively choreography set to Prokofiev’s famous score performed by English National Ballet Philharmonic, in what promises to be the ballet spectacular of 2019. Working from the darkly intriguing Brothers Grimm version of the story, Wheeldon originally created Cinderella to great acclaim for Dutch National Ballet and San Francisco Ballet: he and his creative team now reunite for the re-staging of this sparkling ballet.
