A terrific interview Marina, thank you. I do know from my own experience with Marian and Doug that they are extremely articulate people, meticulous scholars, and can be very funny. I look forward to reading what is an unquestionably valuable book, and like the authors, I hope artistic directors will read it and pay attention.
Marina, this was fascinating! Thank you. I'm reading Apollo's Angels, learning about the way Italians shaped ballet and were resisted... what a complex push and pull. Also surprised to hear the original Giselle was not shy. Learned so much here. Right on the edge of what's known today. Super cool. I will get to the book when I am ready for another delightful tome. Thanks for this.
This was wonderful! I wish I had known Doug while he and Marian were working on this. This is a wonderful interview, Marina. Thank you.
Thanks, Larry. Their research is so fascinating, and they are lovely people to boot.

Thank you, Martha. Agree on all counts! It's a wonderful book.
This was fascinating! Thank you. The 2025 Sleeping Beauty at PNB is something to look forward to.
Thank you Peg! Absolutely!
Thank you, Marina, for this wonderfully illuminating interview.

You should see Ratmansky's Giselle, based on notations! Not shy at all. Thank you for writing. The Tchaikovsky book is quite a fun read :-)
