I read there actually are 840 shows planned (post page 3) not 20 so not likely Jackie will "join the circus" with that rigorous a schedule. But I think as an "ambassador" it is more likely she will attend the first show or shows at the Bird's Nest in a singing promotional role (maybe from horseback?), starting July 14. Don I think, maybe, the first show is possible. I believe it comes down to dollars and cents. Jackie's participation is because her management pitched her for the theme and a few PR appearances at the beginning, which Trojan's producers hope will make "Set Them Free" a hit. And that's a plus for the show. But after all, what counts is if the Chinese turn out in their masses to see, what is essentially a horse show with special effects. Jackie can not help with that. It's either a good show or it isn't and paying Jackie to be in it is just going to add to the costs of what is already a very expensive theatrical venture. No doubt all the publicity will be around opening night, so I think Jackie will be there, just like she was for "The Company You Keep". Maybe two nights if they are back to back. Don

Makes sense.

Pictures of Jackie training for the show that starts in July 14 at Bird's Nest Stadium (91,000) That's my opinion The women in the second photo is Camille Silke Pless, who was at the press conference and had a big poster just like Jackie. I think they will be co-stars! I recall that 20+ shows were planned. Singing on horseback probably. Don edited I think Ms. Silke Plesse is the Danish woman who has the other principal female part in the show, after Helen. Perhaps Cassandra. Seems to me Jackie is taking the opportunity to get equestrian tips from some top riders and trainers and having a good time doing it. (Click on thumbs to enlarge): If you look at the last picture if she is holding her hand to the horse to feed it something it is the proper way , always open your hand below the mouth of the horse with fingers down , not as one picture above

I believe this would be a good time for Jackie to make some trips overseas to do some events as to see how off the pedestal could work for her , she could try what music she is thinking about there and get feed back an research the results as fair , good , very good or outstanding , be free to try what ever , with who ever and how ever for as a minor it can't hurt her career but give her some what of a direction of success and can always change in the near future , the world is at her door step with that voice and can ever think out of the norm to gather fans all over the planet .

I agree that Jackie is just going to be in China for the opening day or two. She did say it was a short trip.

( Note: I've scaled back my expectations, but I'd guess that Jackie as "ambassador" will at least be at the opening show July 14th, (maybe singing on horseback?) to promote it. I read there will be 840 shows - not likely Jackie is going to "run off and join the circus!" Don edited I did actually read that the show will be held in an adjacent venue not in the actual Birds Nest. So 91K x 840 shows is not the numbers you are looking for. I just put it out as a bet for fun with no expectation that anyone pay up. Not fair when you have read it. There also there is a very large screen going in. (sic) 8 Imax size, 1800 Tonnes, the size of a standard Imax is 16m x 22m, I don't know if it is curved of flat, if it is 8 times the width and height, or 8 times the surface area which would be a function of 2/3piR^3. So the screen is a fairly big project alone, and hence the 840 shows which is about 2 years, the article said it will then, if successful travel to other major cities. Again this was not my guess. How did I find all this? Aussies must be fluent in 6 Asian languages in order to graduating primary school. NB. My guess and I didn't read this is the screen would be curved and 8 times the surface area which is much smaller than 8 times the height and width.

I'm a bit confused about "Opening Day" and July 14 Premiere. It is very reasonable to assume Jackie has some role to play in the production of Troy that involves her voice. However, I also believe that there must be more to it than merely singing perhaps the theme song. The premiere is several weeks away so why would she need to travel to china so early just to do some rehearsing. Is it possible that she may in fact have some part to do with the horses as well as singing? It would make some sense that if there was a horse connection that she would need some time to practise whatever with a horse and with others. Oh well, speculating here is similar to the speculation about what might be on her next album and when it might be released.

No, a little too young here. Missed the fun hippie stuff. Just missed the draft, too. So, I'm ok with that. Gott sei Dank. The warning you get with this video is because some hippies considered clothing to be optional. Nothing bad here, especially considering most of them were baked.... For the record, it's the late Richard Neville, with Louise Ferrier, pictured together here (Aussie hippies).

I'm a bit confused about "Opening Day" and July 14 Premiere. ....... Is it possible that she may in fact have some part to do with the horses as well as singing? .................. Not really. This current meeting would have been a Project Tollgate. Tollgates are critical points of achievement that signify the project is achieving its requirement and schedule. Many of the stakeholders wouldn't be informed of many of the tollgates, however coming up to project completion the final tollgate will involve all stakeholders. This would include, media, promotional outlets, local government officials, venue owners, celebrities, investors, project owners, project champions. This tollgate doubles as a promotional event and many of the stakeholders aren't really interested in the specifics of the project. So they bring in the entertainers and the celebrities etc. Hence you have "Ambassadors" These are people that run of the mill people might be interested in. "I'm really interested in the engineering details behind this big screen, even though I don't understand all of it, Hey wait there is that girl that sung the themes song, time to get a photo with her." Tying in celebrities to be ambassadors is common with all arts project over a certain $ value. Pretty stock standard stuff.

She is not wearing jodhpurs and riding boots, so it is unlikely that she will be riding in the show.

I think she has her own riding helmet and appropriate low top boots, though not English, evident in the photo of her sitting a horse at home available in this thread. Apparently she didn't go to China prepared for riding, but got a chance anyway along with some instruction. She's seated properly, with correct hand and leg position though her heel isn't down quite as it should be in an English stirrup, and she looks fairly confident. Looking again, I see she has the horse's head checked appropriately to the left a little.

It's supposed it was the first presss conference for Troy.
