Hello, I am bbea, a new member from Hungary. Just registered to help you all with the article in Premier about our Zoltán Solymosi. Sorry, I can't give you the full translation now, I am very busy at the moment and it is also quiet long and not very easy to translate in a way, you fully catch the main sence in English. Hungarian is a unique language with a unique (little bit silly) mentality, same as Zoltán had and surely will have forever.
So, the article says that he was able to forget the past (it can be extremly difficult to face the age, and retire like he did for somebody who became once a world-class) and is focusing now only on his new profession, on his students. He never wanted to live abroad for good, because he likes his family and home country very much (can understand, me too). He is talking about how he became a dancer, his career, favourite caracters especially in Seregi's (Hungarian choreographer with hart and soul) ballets, finally his feelings and "fights" (I better don't write comments here, it would take a lifetime). He never visits the Royal Ballett while he use to drive through London with his wife from Yorkshire on the way to see her family, even they called him back with new contract. He is teaching, as you know, in Budapest. Actually, he finished to dance on the stage after an accident (he broke his arm)...
I am sure he is also ambicious enough to have higher positions in the school, but wants to stay himself, just natural and live after his own rules, therefore stays in the background and is maybe still suffering sometimes deep inside. He is looking for peace in a picturesque little village not far from the lake Balaton, where I also offen pass by with my sister since our childhood and nowadays with our family and sons for vacation. They have there a very nice traditional house, eat good Hungarian food, drink good Hungarian wine, so there is nothing to be
Hope I helped...
