PRICE
REDUCED on Paris-Holland trip
I
have modified the program for the May Paris-Holland trip to take us
toThe Hague instead of Amsterdam, with a very slight change of
dates but almost all of the original program included. This has
resulted in quite a dramatic price
reduction, especially if you are travelling
on your own. You can still visit Amsterdam as it is less
than an hour by train from The Hague and trains run every 10-15
minutes. Our hotel is only 5 minutes from the train station. Also,
airfares are amazingly low at the moment! A
Toronto-Paris/Amsterdam-Toronto is currently selling at less than
$700 Canadian!! Please have a look at the new brochure here:
July
2017 Toulouse-Bordeaux
I
am thrilled to announce that the "History" element of my
Toulouse-Bordeaux "Food-Wine-History-Gardens-ballet" trip
will be further enriched as we will be joined for the entire trip by
eminent French historian Prof. Martha Hanna of the history
department of the University of Colorado.
Dr.
Hanna is the author of the award-winning book Your Death Would be
Mine which recounts the impact of the First World War on a
peasant couple in the Dordogne, so she is very familiar with the
region we will be visiting and will be happy to share her knowledge
with us. Another of her specialties is the French Revolution, in
which Bordeaux played a significant role.
I
still have a few spots left! Info here:

Bolshoi
Ballet in the Cinema
The
season opens with Yuri Grigorovich's The Golden Age
on October 16 (1255 in Canada at select Cineplex Theatres).
In
a seaside town where business and the Mafia are flourishing, the
Golden Age cabaret is the favourite nightly haunt of dancers, bandits
and young revellers. The young fisherman Boris falls in love with
Rita, a beautiful dancer, but she is also the friend of a local
gangster… A satire on Europe during the Roaring ’20s, The Golden
Age makes for an original, colourful and dazzling show with its jazzy
score and music-hall atmosphere. This ballet – which can only be
seen at the Bolshoi – has everything: mad rhythms, vigorous chase
scenes and decadent cabaret numbers. With this passionate love story
featuring beautiful duets between Boris and Rita, the Bolshoi dancers
plunge magnificently into every stylised step and gesture.

still no word on whether any cinema chain will be picking up the
Royal Ballet cinemacasts in Canada and the US.

A
stunning pas de deux from David
Dawson's Tristan
and Isolde
performed by Dresden
SemperOper Ballett's Courtney
Richardson and Fabien Voranger. I wish The National Ballet of
Canada would acquire something by David Dawson, but in the meantime I
guess we'll just have to travel to Dresden or Het
Nationale Ballet - Dutch National Ballet to see his fabulous
choreography.
