WEDDING REVIVED WITHOUT A HITCH
NEW York City Ballet's su persized Jerome Robbins Celebration offers 33 Rob bins ballets, from his first, 1944's "Fancy Free," to his last, "West Side Story Suite" in 1995. But the most important is the restoration of a masterpiece once thought lost, "Les Noces," which came somewhere in between, and was based on Stravinsky's cantata of a Russian peasant wedding. Robbins had wanted to stage the 1925 Stravinsky score for years before creating it for American Ballet Theater in 1965. But it was expensive to stage, as it demands a large choir, four singers and four onstage pianists. When, two months before he died, he finally got it into the repertory of his home company City Ballet, he mounted it to recorded music by a Russian folklorist group - minus choir, soloists, pianos and staging.
Mariah Carey Talks Nick Cannon, Wedding On 'Ellen'; Says She Got 'Gangsta' For Tattoo Session
Mariah Carey appeared on "Ellen" Tuesday (May 13) to talk about her recent wedding to Nick Cannon. She said the pair used a "video shoot" as camouflage for bringing friends out to the Bahamas for the beachside ceremony, and noted that very few people were invited. "[It was] mostly people to do my hair and help me with my dress ... and three of my friends and he had three people with him," she said. "We wanted to be at the beach, we didn't want other people taking pictures, because we both experienced the hoopla of trying to make something into, like, a publicity stunt, which is what everybody thinks and will think anyway," she said. "We don't really care about that mentality. Instead of trying to be like, 'You're invited, but shhh, don't tell anybody,' we're just going to have another [wedding] next year.
