NBT....NEVADA BALLET THEATRE AT ITS VERY BEST !
WHAT A GREAT OPPORTUNITY IT WAS TO VISIT THE BALLET ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT THE SMITH CENTER RATHER THAN BE INVOLVED WITH THE NFL.
TOO LATE FOR YOU TO HAVE SEEN THIS MARVELOUS PERFORMANCE BUT THERE IS STILL TIME TO CATCH THE NEXT NBT PERFORMANCES...A CHORESOGRAPHERS' SHOWCASE AT TREASURE ISLAND OCTOBER 26 AND NOVEMBER 2....AND THE ALWAYS CLASSIC NUTCRACKER AT THE SMITH CENTER DECEMBER 15-21. GO FOR THEM TICKETS NOW !
THANKS TO THE NBT FOR CONTINUING TO ENRCH MY LIFE....FOR ME FOR 30 YEARS NOW.
HERE... RANDOM THOUGHTS AND REACTIONS TO TODAYS PERFORMANCE.
I WAS NOT AWARE "SEASONS" WOULD BE THE FIRST HALF OF THE SHOW..IT WAS...WITH 43 PIECES OF THE LAS VEGAS PHILHARMONIC PLAYING VIVALDI BEHIND THE DANCE SHOW....HAD I KNOW THIS.... I WOULD SKIPPED THE PBR IN LAUGHLIN SATURDAY NIGHT AND WENT TO THE NBT BOTH NIGHTS. DEANN LETOURNEAU AS CONCERTMASTER FOR THE LVPHIL AND VIOLIN SOLIST FOR SEASONS....YOU WERE SUBPERB AS ALWAYS....YOU PRESENCE EXUDES CLASS.....SPECIAL KUDOS TO YOU...TO VIVALDI AND CHOREOGRAPHER PAUL VASTERLING FOR THE GENIUS BEHIND THIS DAYS RAY OF SUNSHINE !
JUST WOW AS ALWAYS....THE NBT COSTUMED OPENING LIGHTING LOOK ALWAYS A GRABBER..... NO DIFFERENT HERE....3 DANCERS FOR EACH SEASON....WONDERFUL COSTUMES AS ALWAYS AND THE CHOREOGRAPHY LOVELY...FULL SPEED AND POWER....STEVEN GOFORTH YOU WERE EXCELLENT IN BOTH SHOWS....YOU ARE SO DAMN GOOD LOOKING IT COULD DETLETE FROM ANY TECHNICAL FLAWS YOU MIGHT HAVE....(I DIDN'T SEE ANY).....NICE JOB.
GREAT TO HAVE THE FULL 43 PIECES OF LIVE LVLPHIL UNDER THE DIRECTION OF DOUG VAN GILDER...MUST BE AN UPPER FOR THE DANCERS TO PERFORM OVER THE ORCHESTRA....THEY ENJOYED IT !
A MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM......(NOT SUMMERS)....ALEX TREBEK ACTUALLY RULED ILLEGAL IN FINAL JEOPARYD FOR THAT.....AT LEAST SOME OF US PLAY ATTENTION.....I SAW THE 1934 MOVIE....BLACK AND WHITE...WITH MICKEY ROONEY AND JAMES CAGNEY JUST TWO WEEKS AGO AND THEY TOLD A WONDERFUL STORY JUST 6 YEARS INTO THE TALKIES...LOTS OF PAGENTRY AND BALLET THERE.....YAH THERE ....BUT NOT LIKE HERE....WHAT A SMASH THIS WAS....GORGOUS SET...DOZENS OF DANCERS....SUPER CHOREOGRAPHY FROM GEORGE BALANCHINE AND OF COURSE MUSIC FROM FELIX MENDELSSOHN....MENDELSSOHN OF COURSE ITZAK PERLMANS FAVORITE COMPOSER....THAT COUNTS FOR SOMETHING....THE MUSIC WAS LOVELY AS WAS THE ENTIRE AFTERNOON. ALISSA DALE....YOU NEVER HURT THE SHOW....THEY HAD A COUPLE OF PRINCIPALS FROM PACIFIC NORTHWEST BALLET FOR THIS PERFORMANCE....THEY TOO DID NOT HURT THE SHOW ANY !
THERE WERE 24 BUTTERFLIES AND FARIES....10-12 YEAR OLD GIRLS...ALL GIRLS OF COURSE (NON DANCING BOYS ARE SUCH WHIMPS) DURING MIDSUMMER....ALL EXCELLENT..ALL WELL TRAINED....GOOD ACTORS....ALL PAYING ATTENTION AND THE THOUGHT CAME TO ME.....THESE GIRLS WILL ALL BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE... THEY HAVE ALREAD PROVED THEIR CHARACTER...COMMITTMENT AND TRAINING....I WOULD NOT EXPECT TO SEE ANY UNWANTED PREGNANCIES...DRUG ADDICTS...CRIMINALS OR DROPOUTS IN THIS GROUP....A DECADE LATER.... I BET I AM RIGHT...THANK YOU GIRLS FOR ADDDING A NICE TOUCH TO THIS SHOW....THEY HAD LOTS OF WORK IN THE SHOW TOO AND NEVER MISSED A STEP....THANKS AGAIN!
TWO THINGS YOU CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON THE NBT..... BEING LATE...7 MINUTES TODAY AND THE OTHER THING IS SOME ASSHOLE UNWRAPPING HIS CANDY SITTING RIGHT BEHIND ME....HOW DO THESE JERKS ALWAYS FIND ME.....JUST WHAT I WANT DURING VIVALDIS SOLO VIOLIN WITH DEANN....SOME JERK UNWRAPPING CANDY.
AMAZING.....I ALWAYS SIT IN DIFFERENT SPOTS TOO ,BUT I WAS ABLE TO ESCAPE THIS MORON IN THE SECOND HALF.
I REMAIN SO PROUD OF THIS BALLET COMPANY AND EVERYTHING THEY DO....I HOPE I CAN LIVE ANOTHER DECADES AND SEE YET MORE OF WORLD CLASS BALLET !
