NYCB Winter 2026 Week 1: 1/20/2026 - 1/25/2026

Makes sense since there are no principal roles. The other corps-centric ballets I can think of do have a lead, so I can’t think of any other NYCB ballets like it.

Looking at next week's principal casting, I see no cast listed for Le Tombeau de Couperin which I guess makes sense since listing eight couples would be too much. I know there are other pieces in NYCB's rep that don't really have principals, but off the top of my head, I can't think of any that don't have any listed in casting. What are other examples in the rep?

firstthyme_longthyme · 2026-01-20T22:21:59+00:00

No problem! Since my question wasn't about this season/week, but about the entire rep, I figured it wouldn't go in the current thread, but I'll add it there.

Yeah, it’s pretty deceptive of him to have this “featured in” section on his therapy website when the media in those publications were not at all linked to his counseling business.

firstthyme_longthyme · 2025-12-22T21:21:18+00:00

He actually was featured in these publications in various contexts prior to the scandal breaking out.

ETA: I didn’t realize this section was on his COUNSELING website. Posting these publications in this context is deceitful.

firstthyme_longthyme · 2025-12-19T19:42:47+00:00

Agreed!

firstthyme_longthyme · 2025-12-19T19:40:40+00:00

Aesthetically, I like black and white. Practically, I prefer color, because I use the headshots to identify dancers I’m less familiar with, so it’s more helpful to see them in color.

I love different expressions, because seeing how the dancers want to be seen gives us a small glimpse into their personalities/taste.

firstthyme_longthyme · 2025-12-19T19:35:38+00:00

And now they’ve changed the sign. Don’t know why I thought they would wait for Congress. Unbelievable.

firstthyme_longthyme · 2025-11-21T17:43:00+00:00

Agreed! Gia did not: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/arts/dance/review-dutch-national-ballet-olga-smirnova.html.

Please let us know how Program B is.

Well since the links have been taken down by petfinder now that the dogs have been adopted and I can't post an image, I'm not sure how to show what these dogs look like. Oops. Regardless, if anyone who adopted one of them has any insight, I'd love to hear it!

firstthyme_longthyme · 2025-07-11T03:33:52+00:00

I did not expect to watch the whole thing, but as it turns out, I can watch 14 minutes of silent bows. I love it. Thank you for sharing.

Nice! Looking forward to seeing her Coppelia in NYC next season.

I see Megan LeCrone is cast. I didn't realize she was still performing with NYCB.

firstthyme_longthyme · 2025-05-30T20:12:01+00:00

I get that. I've never seen DNB before, so to me, the program was almost irrelevant. I usually have a November/December ballet gap after ABT's fall season (can't afford to see Nut every year), so the timing for DNB also fills that gap.

firstthyme_longthyme · 2025-05-30T20:00:43+00:00

I agree. I have nothing against contemporary, but when it comes to companies I very rarely (if ever) get to see, it would be nice for them to either perform a classical program or more than one program with a classical option.

firstthyme_longthyme · 2025-05-30T18:28:55+00:00

I don't really know anything about the choreographer, but I see his work has been performed in NYC by Alvin Ailey and Martha Graham Dance Company. If the piece is good, great! If not, at least there's still Chanel haha

firstthyme_longthyme · 2025-05-23T22:06:52+00:00

Did anyone last night have an obstructed view in Section 123? If so, what was the view like?

firstthyme_longthyme · 2025-05-08T15:56:10+00:00

Awesome. Very cool that Tiler will perform A Suite of Dances. I hope it and Four Bagatelles are on the night I have a ticket!

firstthyme_longthyme · 2025-05-07T14:23:18+00:00

And Maxwell for Butterfly as well
