- Edward Villella, Carol Sumner, and John Clifford, with the New York City Ballet, in the Berlin film of Balanchine and Robbins' collaboration for the historic 1972 NYC Ballet Stravinsky Festival. This badly edited and fuzzy video was probably lifted from an Italian TV broadcast in the early 1970's.

How angry we were with the editing when these versions were originally shown. Now, in the context of today’s degraded performing standards, they seem as precious and enlightening as Pompeian frescoes. Thanks again, Mr Clifford, for posting. You, and others like you, are true public servants.
Extremely charming. Thank you so much for posting this. I've never seen commedia dell’arte before. This is really fascinating. Thanks John. Just watched your latest chat too. I always learn so much from you.
Thank you very much how wonderful. As I said once before you always out do yourself. Thank you for your very informative talks.
Great soloists! Villella is marvelous! Impressing pictures and not named singers!!! An importend work i see it near too Petrushka! Stage design and costumes by Picasso (looks like in some parts)?
Badly edited, yes. But this is so awesome, nevertheless! Thank you very much! Real delight to have an opportunity to see this performance.
Also, the ending reminds me of the end of Stravinsky Violin Concerto - so jubilant.
One of my favorite Stravinsky works! Based on eighteenth-century commedia dell'arte, and premiered in 1920 (with Léonide Massine libretto/choreography, Pablo Picasso sets/costumes). Revised here, and absolutely brilliant! Is this part of the Balanchine that we're "supposed to" move beyond?
To do so would be a stunning loss at best, a travesty at worst.
BRAVO!!BRAVISSIMO!!!
LOVE IT!!!
Catching up on past posts!!! What fun!!! Figuring out Balanchine here Robbins there, very simple actually.
John,
How is the book coming along? I'm hoping for a TELL it like it happened John Clifford!!! Version. Write it like you speak, your verbal action is ALWAYS riveting and commanding, like your dancing.
My favorite Robbins ballet is one that has disappeared from the boards. "LES NOCES". I saw it many times at ABT with the riveting ERIN MARTIN, (71,72?) did you know her? I took some classes from her which were not great, BUT, her presence and ballet anecdotes while teaching WERE!!!
I remember years ago, I suggested to McKenzie a revival and seemed interested. Didn't happen. I rate the Robbins version way superior to the Nijiinska.
Eddy here is truly magical and so are YOU, I instantly knew it was YOU coming out of that box, you had a way and sense of movement that is uniquely yours and what Mr B loved about you. You were/are gifted.
The NYCB BOARD seems to be confused with the Wendy title in her hiring. Go figure, all those cooks in the kitchen making decisions, and not one knows what "ECARTE", means. PLEASE continue the chats, one a month at least!!! It's so entertaining. Next time you talk to La KENT and La KISTLER give them my love.
Danny
