<P>Cathy, our tireless Paris-based Moderator, has drawn our attention to the visit of the Kirov to Paris in October 2002. The season consists of:<P>- 'Nijinsky et Fokine'; Petrouchka, Shéhérazade, Danses polovtsiennes, Le Spectre de la rose and L’Oiseau de feu.<P>- The recreation of the original version of 'La Bayadère' in four acts.<P>- 'Nutcracker' <P>The big bonus for UK fans is that the top ticket price is around £40. Thus apart from the delight of seeing the Kirov in 2002, the cash-saving can go towards the cost of the train fare.<P>Sounds like a great way to cheer ourselves up, as memories of Summer fade.<P>Here is the link to the <A HREF="http://www.criticaldance.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/001347.html" TARGET=_blank><B>information and discussion in our 'Ballet' forum</B></A>.<P><p>[This message has been edited by Stuart Sweeney (edited March 16, 2002).]
