Child celeb Derek Masters returns to Stoneybrook from L.A., and–guess what–his parents need a sitter. In keeping with an emerging pattern for Jessi-centric books, stars align for her to take on most of the gigs with the new charge, and she and the BSC help him process some setbacks at school and settle back into everyday suburban Connecticut life. Derek returns the favor by coaching Jessi through a series of high-stakes auditions for Swan Lake, and even has her considering new outlets for her performative (and workaholic) energies…Microwave your Kid Cuisine of choice, then join us and the fam in front of the TV for some appointment viewing and conversation as we revisit Jessi and the Superbrat.As mentioned on this episode:A bit of what Jan Carr has been up to since 1989, plus a couple media references that Karen brought to mind with her play and costume choices:The Muppet Movie (1979)Dressed up E.T.Send us pointers on how to make it in *showbiz* at stoneybrookreunion@gmail.com. Find us on Instagram @stoneybrookreunion.

" I think the narrative structure of those story ballets, which were some of the biggest stories of my childhood. I grew up watching Swan Lake. Giselle, La Bayadère, these were stories that were as present to me as anything that I read. Those story ballets are often split in two parts in a way. You have the White Swan and the Black Swan. In Giselle, you have the young girl and then you have the shade, the kind of ghost who comes to haunt her, her lover. Very similar in La Bayadère. And the structure of this novel is in two parts and it's two versions, in a way, of the same character. And now that you said it, I wonder if in some way, without realizing it, that narrative structure had really seeped into my brain."Katie Kitamura is the author five novels, most recently Audition and Intimacies, which was named one of the New York Times 10 Best Books of 2021, longlisted for the National Book Award and the PEN/Faulkner Award, and a finalist for a Joyce Carol Oates Prize.

On Sunday, comedian Bowen Yang joined other actors onstage at the Academy Awards, dressed in his costume from the movie 'Wicked' -- to praise the artist who dreamed it up. It’s hard to list all the projects the award-winning costume designer Paul Tazewell has been responsible for on Broadway, but here’s a sample: Bring in Da Noise, Bring in Da Funk, The Color Purple musical, In The Heights, and Hamilton - for which he won a Tony. On screen, he won an Emmy for his work on The Wiz! Live. And now, Tazewell has an Oscar to add to his list of accolades. Soundside host Libby Denkmann sat down with Tazewell when he was in town back in February, and in light of his win, we thought we would revisit that conversation. He was here for a new production at the Pacific Northwest Ballet.... an organization he has a long history with. His costumes for Kent Stowell's Swan Lake, which debuted in 2003, are still in use. This time around, Paul Tazewell created the lavish costumes for the company's re-imagined Sleeping Beauty -- from ball gowns and dinner jackets to tutus.

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky wrote the music for the Nutcracker, the Romeo and Juliet Fantasy-Overture, Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, multiple symphonies, several operas, and more. He is among the most popular composers of the 19th century. But as usual he didn't do it alone. He and his friend Nadezhda von Meck had a 13-year correspondence of 1200 letters. They shared (almost) everything with each other, but they never actually … met. Still, Tchaikovsky credited Nadezhda for saving his bank account (many times over), and also his sanity, and even his life. It's safe to say that some of his most gorgeous music would never have been written without Nadezhda. Music for this episode includes licensed music from Pond5 and copyright-free music from Musopen.org.

Danielle pulls a Spook Retorts in February as she recaps the “best horror movie of 2024,” Abigail. Cue a mysterious stranger who has put together what Sam argues is definitely not a heist team to kidnap a ballerina child for a ransom amount that makes no sense. Stolen from her home, Abigail (titular ballerina child) is taken to a gothic mansion in the woods to spend the night. The (not) heist team has one job: to babysit. Spoiler: it does not go well. They quickly realize that Abigail is the daughter of the mythical crime lord, Kristof Lazaar, and he may be out for blood. As the (not) heist team begin dying one by one, in increasingly and absurdly gory ways (hello exploding bodies), they begin to wonder if not everything is as it appears. And Abigail, channeling her inner Kevin McAllister, gets in on the fun. Get ready to pump up the tunes (Swan Lake, specifically), put on your ballet slippers, and join Sam as he guesses every single possible plot option, somehow getting them all correct and all wrong at the exact same time.

Oh, Zigfried!"She hugged the Prince and cried tears of happiness."I love you, Odile. I knew that my love was stronger than that sword. Nothing is more powerful than a person's heart. Tell me you will marry me, and I will love you forever.""Of course I will Zigfried. You have made my dreams come true. We were right to believe in love!"They left the old castle together on Zigfried's horse.When they came to the lake near the palace,they saw Ozlowe.He was not a statue anymore.He stood scratching his head.All of the wizard's spells had been broken when he died.The Prince was full of joy."Ozlowe!""Master Zigfried, I don't know what happened. I was standing here about to shoot a swan.""That will teach you never to kill anything. This is Princess Odile. She was the swan you tried to kill."Ozlowe was very confused."Prince Zigfried, I think I'd better go to bed. I don't feel very well."When the servants and the Queen heard about Zigfried and Odile's marriage, there was a big celebration.All the people in the land and the surrounding kingdoms were invited to the wedding.It took place at the edge of the lake, where Zigfried had first seen Odile.Odile wore a beautiful long wedding dress.Zigfried's mother walked towards them."Zigfried, I want you to know that what you did was right. Though I asked you to stay at the palace, you left fora better reason. You should always follow your heart, especially when it is full of love. You father would be very proud of you. "Zigfried's mother was so happy she had tears in her eyes.The Prince took Odile's hands.They stood together in front of the lake.The Queen put the King's crown on Zigfried's head.The priest spoke to the new King and Queen."Marriage is a wonderful thing.And what makes this marriage special is that the love you have for each other will affect everyone in this land.Through your happiness, we will become happy.Through your love for each other, we will love each other. Is this what you want?Is your love strong enough to lead a land of people who need joy in their lives?"Odile spoke first."It is.""Of course, it is! ""Then by the power that is given to me by God, I pronounce you husband and wife."At that moment a joyful chirp was heard and a little bird flew from a rose bush and sat on Odile's hand."Patrice, my little friend! You're back!"Then Odile turned to Zigfried and said:"You see my beloved King, love is stronger than anything in this world. When you love somebody or something you never lose them."Zigfried looked lovingly into his bride's eyes, they kissed and everybody cheered.翻译第十章：婚礼森林里天亮了，但没有鸟儿歌唱。那座城堡只不过是一堆石头。唯一的声音是奥迪尔在齐格弗里德的尸体上哭泣。“哦，齐格弗里德，我唯一的真爱！”你为什么要死？”听到这里，王子先睁开了一只眼睛，然后又睁开了另一只。“你还活着!哦,齐格弗里德!”她拥抱着王子，流下了幸福的眼泪。“我爱你，奥迪尔。我知道我的爱比那把剑更强大。没有什么比一个人的心更强大。告诉我你会嫁给我，我会永远爱你。”“我当然会去的。你让我的梦想成真。我们相信爱情是对的！”他们一起骑着齐格弗里德的马离开了古老的城堡。当他们来到宫殿附近的湖边时，他们看到了奥兹洛。他不再是一座雕像了。他站在那里挠着头。巫师死的时候，所有的咒语都被打破了。王子满心欢喜。“奥兹洛!”“齐格弗里德少爷，我不知道发生了什么事。我正站在这里准备射一只天鹅。”“这将教会你永远不要杀死任何东西。这是奥迪尔公主。她就是你想杀死的那只天鹅。”奥兹洛非常困惑。“齐格弗里德王子，我想我最好去睡觉了。我觉得不太舒服。”当仆人和王后听说齐格弗里德和奥迪尔结婚的消息时，举行了一场盛大的庆祝活动。所有的人都被邀请来参加婚礼。事情发生在湖边，就是齐格弗里德第一次见到奥迪尔的地方。奥迪尔穿着一件漂亮的长长的结婚礼服。齐格弗里德的妈妈朝他们走来。“齐格弗里德，我想让你知道你做的是对的。虽然我让你留在宫里，但你有更好的理由离开了。你应该永远跟随自己的心，尤其是当它充满爱的时候。你父亲会为你感到骄傲的。”齐格弗里德的妈妈高兴得热泪盈眶。王子握住奥迪尔的手。他们一起站在湖边。王后把国王的王冠戴在了齐格弗里德的头上。牧师对新国王和王后讲话。“婚姻是一件美妙的事情。这段婚姻的特别之处在于你们对彼此的爱将影响这片土地上的每一个人。通过你的幸福，我们也会变得幸福。通过你对彼此的爱，我们会彼此相爱。这是你想要的吗？你的爱是否强大到足以引领这片需要快乐生活的土地？”奥迪尔先说话了。“这是。”“当然了！”“那么，以上帝赋予我的权力，我宣布你们结为夫妻。”就在这时，听到一阵欢快的啁啾声，一只小鸟从玫瑰花丛中飞出来，落在奥迪尔的手上。“帕特里斯，我的小朋友！你回来了!”然后奥迪尔转向齐格弗里德说：“你看，我亲爱的国王，爱比世界上任何东西都强大。当你爱某人或某物时，你永远不会失去他们。”齐格弗里德深情地望着新娘的眼睛，他们亲吻了一下，大家都欢呼起来。

Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky词汇提示1.weeping 哭泣2.triumphantly 得意洋洋地3.stab 刺原文Chapter 9: The FireRocford, Odet and Odile flew onto the tower of the castle.They changed back into people.Odile was weeping loudly.The wizard just laughed his evil laugh and said: "Odile, now I know how to get you to marry me. If you don't, I will kill the Prince, and you will watch him die.""Father, you do not have to kill Zigfried. He has already promised to marry me. He cannot break such a promise.""Neither of you has a heart. How can you ever expect to be happy if you know that someone does not love you? But you will see. Love is stronger than spells. You will never succeed in getting what you want."At this,they saw Zigfried coming towards the castle on his horse."We shall see which is stronger, love or hate!"The wizard made a wall of fire appear in front of Zigfried.Zigfried could only think of Odile.He rode right through the fire without getting hurt.Odile said triumphantly: "You see.I am right."As she ran from the wizard, he tried to block her way by making the doors close in front of her.But Odile just ran faster and escaped through each one.The Prince saw Odile on the steps going up to the tower.He took her in his arms."Odile, I will never let you leave me again. Say that you will stay with me forever.""I will, I will! I love you Zigfried!"The wizard appeared at the top of the steps.Odet was behind him."You will not escape death this time, Zigfried."The Prince took out his sword.Odile tried to stop him."Do not fight him, Zigfried. If he kills you, I will lose everyone I've ever loved.""You are right Odile. Zigfried is only a boy. He is no match for me. Now, come back to your room, and let this little boy go home to his mother.""Rocford, your words will not discourage me. I would kill you now, but I will give you one last chance to live. Let us leave in peace and never come near Odile again.""You really are a little boy if you think that you can harm me."Rocford raised his hand, and Odile flew through the air to where Odet stood.Zigfried ran at Rocford and tried to stab him with his sword.Rocford put his hand up.The sword touched it and turned into water.Without a sword, Zigfried attacked the wizard.Rocford threw Zigfried down the steps.He picked up a stick and turned it into a sword.He pointed it at Zigfried's heart as he lay on the ground."Rocford! Don't!""Say you will marry me Odile, and I will let him live. ""Don't do it Odile! Don't make yourself more unhappy just for me!"The wizard prodded Zigfried with the sword."And you have promised to marry me, Zigfried. You said you would always love me.""I said that because I thought you were Odile. I would never marry you. I would rather die."Zigfried took the wizard's sword and pushed it deep into his own heart."Zigfried, no!"Something strange began to happen.The castle began to shake.Large stones fell from the ceiling, and Rocford and Odet were killed.Odile ran to Zigfried.She took the sword out of his heart and pulled his body out of the castle, before it fell to the ground.翻译第九章：火罗福德、奥德和奥迪尔飞上了城堡的塔楼。他们变回了人。奥迪尔大声地哭着。巫师只是邪恶地笑了笑，说：“奥迪尔，现在我知道怎么让你嫁给我了。如果你不这样做，我就杀了王子，你就看着他死去。”“爸爸，你不必杀齐格弗里德。他已经答应娶我了。他不能违背这样的诺言。”“你们两个都没有心。如果你知道有人不爱你，你怎么能期望幸福呢？但你会看到的。爱比咒语更强大。你永远也得不到你想要的东西。”这时，他们看见齐格弗里德骑着马向城堡走来。“让我们看看爱和恨哪个更强大吧！”巫师让一道火墙出现在齐格弗里德面前。齐格弗里德只能想到奥迪勒。他骑马穿过火堆，没有受伤。奥迪尔得意地说：“你看。我是对的。”当她从巫师身边跑开的时候，他试图挡住她的去路，把门关上了。但奥迪尔跑得更快，从每一个洞里逃了出来。王子看见奥迪尔站在台阶上向塔走去。他把她抱在怀里。“奥迪尔，我再也不会让你离开我了。说你会永远和我在一起。”“我会的，我会的！”我爱你，齐格弗里德!”男巫出现在台阶顶上。奥德在他后面。“你这次逃不掉死亡了，齐格弗里德。”王子拿出了他的剑。奥迪尔试图阻止他。“别跟他打，齐格弗里德。如果他杀了你，我就会失去所有我爱过的人。”“你说得对，奥迪尔。齐格弗里德只是个孩子。他不是我的对手。现在，回你的房间去吧，让这个小男孩回家找他妈妈。”“罗福德，你的话不会使我气馁。我现在就会杀了你，但我会给你最后一次活命的机会。让我们平平安安地走吧，永远不要再靠近奥迪尔。”“如果你认为你能伤害我，那你真是个小男孩。”罗福德举起了手，奥迪尔就从空中飞到了奥德站着的地方。齐格弗里德跑向罗福德，试图用剑刺他。罗福德举起手来。剑碰到它就变成了水。没有剑的齐格弗里德攻击了巫师。罗福德把齐格弗里德扔下了台阶。他捡起一根棍子，把它变成了一把剑。他把枪对准躺在地上的齐格弗里德的心脏。“罗福德!不!”“说你愿意嫁给我，奥迪尔，我会让他活下去。”“别这样，奥迪尔！”不要因为我而让自己更不开心！”巫师用剑捅了刺齐格弗里德。“你答应过要嫁给我的，齐格弗里德。你说过你会永远爱我。”“我这么说是因为我以为你是奥迪尔。我永远不会嫁给你。我宁愿去死。”齐格弗里德拿起巫师的剑，深深刺进自己的心脏。“齐格弗里德,没有!”奇怪的事情开始发生了。城堡开始摇晃。巨大的石头从天花板上掉了下来，罗克福德和奥德死了。奥迪尔跑向齐格弗里德。她从他的心脏里取出剑，把他的身体拉出了城堡，还没等他倒在地上。

Today I have the privilege of speaking with the divine Juliet Doherty. Juliet was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which is slightly more Breaking Bad than “Swan Lake,” but Juliet's grandparents owned a ballet studio which passed to Juliet's mother, and so the artistic genes ran deep. Juliet was renowned worldwide from an early age, competing in competitions around the world, winning the Youth America Grand Prix twice, and appearing in the cult movie First Position. By 16, Juliet was dancing with the San Francisco Ballet, where after training as an apprentice, she accepted a contract into the company, but company life wasn't for Juliet. In this most beautiful conversation, Juliet talks about her road to the stage, her diverse training, and her decision to branch out and carve her own artistic life away from the ballet. We discuss her reasons for leaving the San Francisco Ballet, diving into the wild of freelance work, the joys and the burdens of social media, and what continues to drive her passion as a freelance dancer and actress.Juliet continues to perform and act around the globe, while continuing as an MDM Dance Muse. Juliet has just finished a tour with Ballet International Gala in Brisbane. To continue to follow all of Juliet's wonderful adventures, you can find her on Instagram @julietdoherty.Follow @talkingpointespodcast and never miss an episode!

The evil wizard must have changed someone to look like me."Odile kept knocking on the window.She was crying.Zigfried could now see that she had the same eyes as the swan.Rocford flew down next to Odile as the owl.He held her in both arms."Did you think you could escape from me?"The Prince ran from the ballroom.He saw Odile fighting with the wizard."Take your hands off her,Rocford."Rocford let go of Odile's arms."I should have killed you that day at the lake. But I will be happy to do it now."The wizard lifted up his hand. Odile stopped him."Wait! Don't do it. I'll go with you. I'll do what you want. Just don't hurt him.""Odile, what are you saying?

It is better for us to live and hope to be together one day."Odet ran out of the palace.She still looked like Odile."Who is this, then?""It is Odet, the wizard's evil daughter.She only looks like me.

If you do not keep this promise, you will never be able to keep another."Odet changed herself into a bird.The wizard was an owl and Odile was a swan.They flew together away from the palace,back to Rocford's castle.The Queen and many others came out of the palace to see what had happened.Zigfried went after Odile."Guards, bring me my horse.""Zigfried, where are you going?Where is the Princess?""She has gone away, Mother, and I must find her."The guards brought the prince a beautiful white horse, and gave him his sword."Do you want us to call the men,Your Highness?""No, this is something I must do alone.""Zigfried, do not leave the palace alone. If something happens to you, we will be without a king. It is your duty to stay with me!""Mother, being a King means nothing if you are not with the woman you love. I would rather die than leave Odile with that evil wizard."The Prince spurred his horse on and rode quickly towards the dark forest.翻译第八章：王子追公主当奥迪尔看到奥德和齐格弗里德跳舞时，她跑到宫殿门口。卫兵拦住了她。“你是谁？”“我的名字是奥迪尔公主。王子在等我呢。”“没有。奥迪尔公主已经进来了。你一定是在说谎。”“请你一定要相信我。那不是奥迪尔公主。她在说谎。”但是守卫们不相信她。她跑回窗前，使劲敲门。大家都转过身来看着她。王子简直不敢相信他所看到的——两个奥迪尔。他看着奥德。“发生了什么事？”“我不知道。一定是那个邪恶的巫师把一个人变成了我。”奥迪尔不停地敲窗户。她在哭。齐格弗里德现在可以看出她的眼睛和天鹅的眼睛是一样的。罗福德扮成猫头鹰，飞到奥迪尔旁边。他把她抱在怀里。“你以为你能从我手里逃脱吗？”王子从舞厅里跑了出来。他看见奥迪尔和巫师在打架。“把你的手从她身上拿开，罗福德。”罗福德放开了奥迪尔的手臂。“那天在湖边我应该杀了你。但我现在很乐意这么做。”巫师举起了手。奥迪尔阻止了他。“等等!不要这样做。我和你一起去。我会照你说的做。别伤害他就行了。”“奥德勒，你在说什么？”别再离开我了！”她不能看他，因为如果她看他，她就不想离开了。“我这么做是为了我们。如果你死了，我会和你一起死。我们最好活着，希望有一天能在一起。”奥德跑出了宫殿。她看起来仍然像奥迪尔。“那么，这是谁呢？”“是奥德，巫师的邪恶女儿。她只是长得像我而已。看看她的眼睛，你就知道了。”“我就知道。”奥德也有魔力。她变回了原来的样子。“太迟了，齐格弗里德。你答应过要嫁给我，永远爱我。如果你不遵守这个承诺，你将永远无法遵守另一个承诺。”奥德把自己变成了一只鸟。巫师是一只猫头鹰，而奥迪尔是一只天鹅。他们一起飞离了宫殿，回到了罗福德的城堡。王后和其他许多人从宫殿里出来看看发生了什么事。齐格弗里德去追奥迪尔。“卫兵，把我的马牵过来。”“齐格弗里德，你去哪儿？”公主在哪里？”“她走了，妈妈，我必须找到她。”卫兵们给王子带来了一匹漂亮的白马，并给了他一把剑。“您要我们叫人来吗，殿下？”“不，这件事我必须一个人去做。”“齐格弗里德，不要一个人离开宫殿。如果你出了事，我们就没有国王了。陪在我身边是你的责任！”“妈妈，如果你没有和你爱的女人在一起，当国王就毫无意义。我宁死也不愿把奥迪尔留给那个邪恶的巫师。”王子策马疾驰，向黑暗的森林奔去。

Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky原文Chapter 7: Odile EscapesOdile stood at her window, looking at the stars and the moon.There were bars at the window, but they were not necessary.Her window was high above a river.If she tried to escape, she would almost certainly fall into the water and die.Her bird, Patrice, chirped behind her.She turned to look at the bird."Oh Patrice, I understand you. I am in a cage, too. But you must want to get out. I'm sorry I never thought of it. I have kept you locked up just like Rocford has kept me locked up. Because you are my only friend in this world, I wanted you to stay.But you must be free to fly."Odile took the bird cage to the window.She opened its small door."Fly away, Patrice, and be free!Find another bird to love. It is the only thing worth living for."The bird flew from its cage, through the bars on the window, into the night.Odile closed her eyes.She imagined that she was Patrice flying over the forest and lake.She flew into the garden of the palace,she landed on a palace wall and looked into a large window at the ball.Beautiful women in beautiful dresses were dancing with handsome men.She saw the prince with his mother and the cake with the eighteen candles.Then, Odet entered the room dressed as her.When she opened her eyes, she found to her amazement that she was outside the palace window.When she had set the bird free, she had also set herself free.Because she believed with all her hear tin love and freedom, everything that she imagined came true.The wizard knew that Odile hated him,and it made him angry.He wanted to make her love him, so he decided to have a ball for her.Using his magic, he made a large room full of people dancing.He changed himself into a young man again,the same young man he was when he had taken Odile from her parents.He went to her room with flowers.He knocked on her door."Odile, I have a surprise for you."There was no answer.He couldn't even hear the bird."Odile, it's me, Rocford. I've decided to take you to a ball."When there was no answer and he heard nothing, he became angry.He made the door disappear.His anger turned him back into the old,evil man that he was.He saw the bird cage on the floor.The room was empty.Roaring with anger, he turned himself into an owl and flew from the castle towards the palace.翻译第七章：奥迪尔逃跑奥迪尔站在窗前，望着星星和月亮。窗户上有栅栏，但没有必要。她的窗户高高在河的上方。如果她试图逃跑，她几乎肯定会掉进水里而死。她的鸟帕特里斯在她身后叽叽喳喳地叫着。她转过身去看那只鸟。“哦，帕特里斯，我理解你。我也在笼子里。但你一定想出去。对不起，我没有想到这一点。我把你关起来就像罗福德把我关起来一样。因为你是我在这个世界上唯一的朋友，所以我希望你留下来。但你必须自由飞翔。”奥迪尔把鸟笼拿到窗前。她打开那扇小门。“飞走吧，帕特里斯，自由吧！”找另一只鸟去爱吧。这是唯一值得为之而活的东西。”鸟儿从笼子里飞出来，穿过窗户上的栅栏，飞进了黑夜。奥迪尔闭上了眼睛。她想象着自己是帕特里斯，正飞过森林和湖泊。她飞进了宫殿的花园，落在宫殿的一堵墙上，从一扇大窗户里看着舞会。穿着漂亮衣服的漂亮女人正在和英俊的男人跳舞。她看到了王子和他的母亲，还有插着十八根蜡烛的蛋糕。然后，奥德打扮成她的样子走进房间。当她睁开眼睛时，她惊奇地发现她在宫殿的窗户外面。当她放了鸟儿，她也放了自己。因为她全心全意地相信爱和自由，她想象的一切都实现了。巫师知道奥迪尔恨他，这让他很生气。他想让她爱上他，所以他决定为她举办一次舞会。他用他的魔法使一间大屋子里的人都在跳舞。他又变回了一个年轻人，就是把奥迪尔从她父母身边接走的那个年轻人。他拿着花去了她的房间。他敲了敲她的门。“奥迪尔，我要给你一个惊喜。”没有人回答。他甚至听不见鸟叫。“奥迪尔，是我，罗福德。我决定带你去参加舞会。”没有人回答，他什么也没听到，他就生气了。他让门消失了。他的愤怒使他变回了从前那个邪恶的人。他看到了地板上的鸟笼。房间是空的。他怒吼着，把自己变成一只猫头鹰，从城堡飞向宫殿。

For our Season Three bonus episode, we speak again with the divine Dana Stephensen. Dana and I initially spoke about 18 months ago, and in that conversation we covered Dana's journey into the Australian Ballet, managing her hyperthyroidism and weight gain. We talked about promotions, meeting her now husband Lachie becoming a mom and returning to the stage. This time I speak to the newly retired Dana Stephensen, who after 19 years dancing with the Australian Ballet finally gave a farewell performance at the Royal Opera House in London. In this hugely inspiring episode, we reflect on the depth and the bravery of Dana speaking about postnatal depression after the birth of her twins, how she returned to the stage as a mom of three and clawed back both her confidence and sense of self. But we also talk about the struggles of juggling tour life with Lachie and her three children and how she came to the decision to retire before finally turning to her thoughts for the future.Dana now lives in Brisbane and is settling into life with her husband Lachie and their three children. While she's newly retired from the Australian Ballet, Dana made a surprise appearance with the company in their Brisbane season of “Swan Lake.” You may catch her here and there as she continues to guest with the company. For Australian Ballet tickets and show times, head to their website, australianballet.com.au, or you can find them on Instagram at @ausballet.

You will see."Every time a new guest arrived, the ballroom doors were opened, and everyone fell silent.A servant called out the guests' names as they entered.Each time this happened, the Prince became very excited.But Odile never arrived.It was almost twelve o'clock.Zigfried had promised his mother that he would choose a bride by midnight.

After tonight, he will be the King of this land, and he has chosen Princess Odile to be his wife."Zigfried and Odet danced together.Everyone around them clapped their hands."Odile, I knew you would come. How did you escape from the evil wizard?""I..

"翻译第六章：舞会宫殿里的舞厅很大。成百上千的男男女女在广场中央跳舞。墙边摆着白色的长桌子。他们有蜡烛和各种各样的食物。在房间顶部的一个舞台上，放着三把大椅子。王后坐在中间，齐格弗里德坐在她的右边。左边的椅子是空的。这是为公主准备的，她将成为齐格弗里德的妻子。“你最喜欢哪位公主？”“我要选的人还没来。”“但是你一定都见过他们吧？”“还有一个，妈妈，她是个惊喜。你会看到的。”每当有新客人到来，舞厅的门就会打开，大家都安静下来。客人一进来，仆人就喊他们的名字。每次发生这种事，王子都变得非常兴奋。但是奥迪尔一直没有来。已经快十二点了。齐格弗里德答应他的母亲，他会在午夜之前选择一个新娘。两扇大门打开了。“求你了，就让她来吧！”那是一个巨大的蛋糕，上面插着18根蜡烛。房间里的每个人都开始唱歌。“祝你生日快乐，祝你生日快乐，祝齐格弗里德王子生日快乐，祝你生日快乐！”齐格弗里德和他妈妈走向那个巨大的蛋糕。“现在，许个愿，吹灭所有的蜡烛。”没有人听见他的话，但齐格弗里德说：“我希望奥迪尔能来做我的妻子。”他吹灭了蜡烛，大家都欢呼起来。门开了。“奥迪尔公主。”是奥德打扮成奥迪尔的样子。她穿着白色长裙，戴着白色长手套。金王冠在她头上闪闪发光。她怀里抱着一束花。她微笑着走向女王和王子。她把花送给王后，然后鞠躬。“妈妈，这是奥迪尔，我在森林里遇到的公主。”“我认识你父亲。我很抱歉。我以为所有人都在大火中丧生了。你一定是唯一活下来的人。”奥德不知道巫师对奥迪尔的父母做了什么。她不再笑了。“哦，妈妈，她的故事太悲伤了，难以启齿。让我们一起享受这个夜晚。我们现在就是她的家人了。”“你的意思是你想选择奥德勒公主做你的妻子？”“是的，妈妈，我喜欢。”女王举手示意男人们吹响喇叭。每个人都很安静。“女士们先生们，我要宣布我的儿子齐格弗里德王子订婚了。今晚之后，他将成为这片土地的国王，他已经选择了奥德勒公主做他的妻子。”齐格弗里德和奥德一起跳舞。他们周围的每个人都拍手。“奥迪尔，我知道你会来的。你是怎么从邪恶的巫师手里逃脱的？”“我. .我逃走了。”“他没有看见你吗？”王子向后退了一步，以便能看着奥德的眼睛。当他看到那双眼睛时，他的心一沉。它们看起来像奥迪尔的，但里面少了一些东西。他不爱她。奥德开始谎称她从罗福德逃走了。“我看到天空中有一颗流星。我闭上眼睛许了个愿。当我打开它们的时候，我正坐在一辆马拉着的马车里。我就是这样来到这里的。这一定意味着我们注定要在一起。哦，齐格弗里德，告诉我你会永远爱我。”他紧紧地抱着她，因为他不想看她的眼睛。当他第一次见到奥迪尔的时候，他就知道他爱上了她。现在他不知道了。他想他一定是出了什么问题。“奥迪尔，我保证永远爱你，永远不离开你。”

For 20 seasons, National Ballet of Canada principal dancer Heather Ogden has been performing the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy in the enduring holiday classic “The Nutcracker.” Heather sits down with Tom Power to talk about the magic and opulence of this production — and what makes the Sugar Plum Fairy's solo so tricky. Plus, she makes a special announcement about an upcoming National Ballet of Canada production of “Swan Lake.”

This week on The Learning Curve, co-hosts U-Arkansas Prof. Albert Cheng and Dr. Jocelyn Chadwick interview distinguished British television journalist, author, and Classic FM presenter, John Suchet, OBE. Mr. Suchet explores the life and legacy of Pyotr Tchaikovsky, one of Russia's greatest composers. He shares insights into Tchaikovsky's upbringing, his late start in composing, and the emotional challenges that shaped his career and music. Suchet discusses Tchaikovsky's struggles with self-doubt, harsh critics, and a turbulent personal life, which influenced his famous works. He highlights Tchaikovsky's enduring masterpieces, including The 1812 Overture, The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, and The Sleeping Beauty, examining his genius for melody, orchestral “color,” and exploring international inspirations. Suchet also reflects on the immense contemporary cultural and financial success of The Nutcracker and Tchaikovsky's other ballets, which captivate audiences worldwide. Closing the discussion, Suchet celebrates Tchaikovsky's unparalleled ability to create music that remains timeless, magical, and universally beloved, establishing his place as a cornerstone of the classical music repertoire. In doing so, he reads a passage from his book, Tchaikovsky: The Man Revealed.

Sir Matthew Bourne's reimaginings of classic works like Swan Lake, The Nutcracker and Carmen have become legendary, and have transformed our ideas of what dance, and what theatre, are capable of.
