On the newest Hear the Dance episode, host Jared Angle leads us through the five fasntasy-filled movements of Balanchine's crowd- and dancer-pleasing Vienna Waltzes. He and Repertory Director Rebecca Krohn share recollections of learning the principal roles in the first Tales from the Vienna Woods and fourth Merry Widow movements from former principal dancer Karin von Aroldingen, describing the strikingly different moods of these two sections and the challenges of their romantic ballgowns. Then, Jared is joined by Principal Dancer Sterling Hyltin, who describes rehearsing the second Voices of Spring and third Explosions Polka movements with former principal dancer Sara "Sally" Leland, and how she has begun to learn the principal role in the final movement following a dreamed premonition, and just in time for her retirement.
