Maxi3D Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 Just a quick FYI, Paloma Herrera will be performing Don Quixote with the Festival Ballet Theater in Costa Mesa CA. on the fifth and sixth of April 2003. She will be partnered by Gennadi Saveliev of ABT also. For more info here's the link to Festival Ballet Theater: http://www.festivalballet.org/ Catch it while you can Link to comment
Giannina Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 I went to the Sunday matinee. To say parking was a b---h is an understatement; a gargantuan swap meet across the street (year long, or almost) stops traffic on the freeway!! This happens every year and gets progressively worse since swap meet-ers use the theater parking lot. Anyway.... This is the 3rd time I've gone to one of these performances. The performance is put on by Festival Ballet Theatre, "a regional ballet company.....to showcase talented, youthful dancers of our community", etc. I must say that I've never seen the kids look as good as they did this year. Some I have seen before. My congratulations to Salwa Rizkalla, Artistic Director of Festival Ballet Theatre. Giannina Link to comment
Maxi3D Posted April 12, 2003 Author Share Posted April 12, 2003 I went to the Friday evening's performance and the parking was much better than Sunday's. I agree with Giannina that the young dancers from Festival Ballet have gotten quite impressive every year. This is my thrid years I went to their's performances, and the company this year have many talented dancers who complemented very nicely with Paloma Herrera on stage. I hope in the future I will see them dancing with the major companys. Does anyone know that if Festival Ballet will stage their next spring performance at the Orange Coast College? I had heard that due to lack of funding the college can't afford to sponsor performing arts at the theater. Is that true? :confused: Link to comment
