» GustavFan - Balanchine's Version
Hi. I'm curious to start a discussion about how Balanchine was not a big fan of Swan Lake, and when asked to choreograph his version he opted to create only a short one-act version. (Its in this season's repetoire at the NYC Ballet.) He much preferred Sleeping Beauty over Swan Lake. I never knew that until just recently. As a matter of a fact, I didn't even know there were TWO! Do you happen to know much about the differences between them (I notice that you are an avid fan of Swan Lake yourself!).Thanks,
Susan
