Summary

Panel discussion 1: Nikolaj Hübbe discusses La bayadère being performed for the first time at the Royal Danish Ballet, changing it into a three act ballet, the importance of the female corps de ballet for the shades scene in La bayadère, this production having a new concept for the story, some of the original Petipa choreography is still included along with new choreography, and Hübbe makes reference to a new waltz section he choreographed. Panel discussion 2: Hübbe discusses the co-choreographer Eva Draw and how she brings the Russian aesthetic to the Royal Danish Ballet, iconic moments with comparisions to the new versions for this ballet include the Shades scene, Snake bite scene, and Bronze idol solo which is not the Blue god variation. Panel discussion 3: How Hübbe chose Richard Hudson as the designer for this production and how they met, Hudson talks about the difference between designing for ballet and opera, designing for ballet with the needs for a more open space for the dancers and how this gives him more time to concentrate on the costumes, presenting slides of the set designs and costumes for this production. Panel discussion 4: John Meehan asks about getting tickets for the Copenhagen performances, getting 10 days of technical time in the theater, and Meehan thanks all of the participants.
