Ilovegiselle

I just saw my 3rd Giselle this week.  Between Hee, Isabella and Stella, I think tonight (Stella) was my favorite performance of the week.  She has the most beautiful and classical lines.  Her acting and emotions is unparalleled.  She may not be perfect all the time, but for me she makes it up with some very strong and genuine moment.

in addition, Cory has reached a new level of performance.  His acting was believable and the big gasping at the end reminded me of the way Marcelo used to do.

it's so beautiful that Robbie has embraced living his own true authentic self....  labels does not matter, he's a beautiful human being and his personal relationships with other human beings is their own private matter.

I looked back at reviews and Paloma was 21 when she danced Don Q with Corella at ABT.  Corella was 20.  From what I can tell of their biographies, she was a principal and he was a soloist, promoted to principal that August.

This is so lovely!  We have not had a young new star in recent years that I have been this excited for. 

So excited to see Aran in this role, plus all the new principals especially Sarah Lane in Bayadere with Cornejo.  They make such beautiful couple.
