CCBM Program I: Don Quijote
cubanmiamiboy replied to cubanmiamiboy's topic in Cuban Classical Ballet of Miami
Well...it looks like the CCBM, like the phoenix, has resurrected from its own ashes !. It's been announced on the website that the performances of Don Quixote are going as planned. Lorena Feijoo will dance Kitri and Rolando Sarabia, just out of the MCB roster, will dance Basilio. http://www.cubanclassicalballet.org/programI.html -
True, Patrick...On the other side, let's not forget one of the main-(if not THE # 1)-factor in the whole bodybuilding circuit...the showing off element. The whole thing, from the music selected, to the outfits, to the oiled up body, to the fake tanning, to the provocative posing and smiles...to absolutely EVERYTHING constitutes an ode-(even a worship)-to the masculinity, the manliness, the fact of wanting to be perfectly developed AND desired EVEN in a sexual way... The thing is...does a 5 year old boy needs to be exposed in such way...? I mean...if the PARENTS want him to be a bodybuilder at such age-(let's pretend that the boy wasn't the one with the original idea)-isn't it better to keep it out of the public media until he can decide if is ok to be exposed like that...? (around 13 or 14, taking a wild guess...)

I wonder where will Quenedit be heading now that he's gone from the MCB roster... -
Carlos Quenedit is also gone from the roster...

BNC at the Dorothy Chandler June 2011 - Don Quixote
cubanmiamiboy replied to ksk04's topic in National Ballet of Cuba
Hope you can see Miss Viengsay Valdes as Kitri. Aah...only if they could come over one day to Miami... ...but nope...definitely that won't happen... -
...and Isanusi, just as he became Principal. Remember...?

Wow..and I mean, WOOOOW!!! Now it is official that four of the main forces of the Company are gone... Cox, Sarabita, Wong-( )-and Baker. I really can't see how Panteado and Guerra will be able to do all the work now.... This is a MAJOR disaster...

It's very exciting to see two strong Primas in their quest for a night's most talked about performance. Yes, I've seen Myrthas outcasting some Giselles, and I guess this should be devastating for the title role. But I still like a Principal to dance it, regardless the possible danger to her peer.

Oh, sure, Patrick!...one of my favorites ballet Queen Moms..!

Don't we always love the over dramatic fainting Queen Mothers, grieving Berthes or the overprotecting Widow Simone ..? Anyway...this is only a "balletic justification" so I can wish to each and every single WOMAN of this board a beautiful, fulfilling HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!! CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!!!

Alicia Alonco 90th Birthday celebration with ABT

I'M GOING!!! -
Ok, so I see that we are being very diverse about the theater behavior patterns, to the point of mentioning coughing patrons-(which, to be honest, gets on my nerves too as I see that this-as someone mentioned earlier-sometimes sets off a chain reaction). Well, I have a little anecdote to add, and very fresh. The action took place last night during the closing of the Debussy Festival. Mr Tilson-(again)-was conducting, and this time the orchestra was doing a beautiful rendition of "La Mer". I was sitting right on the first row, to the left of Mr. Tilson. Next to me there was a senior patron whom I've seen numerous times in concerts, always sitting on the first row. Well, at some point, during one passage with a marked diminuendo, I started hearing some noises...guttural noises. On my right I had my mom, and next to her there was the mentioned patron, whom I couldn't see very well. The sounds came from him and they kept going on and on at intervals. When I look at my mom with an interrogation gesture, she leaned on and whispered to me..."He's having hipcocks..!" . "Oh my...this is disaster!", I thought, looking at Tilson, who looked extremely concentrated during the passage. A second later, the orchestra reached a crescendo and so the hipcocks sounds got muffled and could not be heard any longer. Thank God, because I though that Tilson was going to have one of his raging moments...

I heard the score of "Jeux" last night during this week All-Debussy Festival by the New World Symphony. Wow...that's some music to dance to... Those tempi kept changing the whole time, and the agógica was just crazy!
