If there are those among you who have thought about coming to this performance, but haven't made plans, yet -- delay no more! I've been lucky enough to have a sneak peak, so can tell you this is a luscious production, beautifully danced. Natalia Magnicaballi is more beautiful than ever, Paula Hartley and Ginger Smith more dramatic, Chelsea Wilcox a wonderful addition to the company ... and the men -- THE MEN!!!!! Ooh la la -- the best looking, best dancing group yet, including Roman Zavarov, Russell Clarke, Nathan Vander Stoep and Ross Clarke

The costumes are Boston Ballet and Ballet Arizona costume shop. There are too few performances -- just over Halloween weekend. The pairings of each of the principal couples are exquisite and offerenjoyable contrast, so be sure and see alternate casts.

I hope you'll review the casts for us, Arizona Native I really wanted to see this production, but I'll be out of the country next weekend.

I noticed on the website that the casting is up:

and that there's a two-part radio interview with Ib Andersen in which he discusses the production among other topics:
