BalletNut Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 If anybody is seeing the gala, we hope to hear reports about the performance! Link to comment
balletdad Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I did not have the opportunity to attend the Gala but a friend who attended said it was wonderful. He was particularly pleased with Lorena Feijoo and Davit Karapetyan in the Black Swan pas from Swan Lake. He said it brought down the house and got the most enthusiastic response from the ballet students standing 4 deep in the standing room section. For those interested here is a link to today's review in the SF Chronicle, http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c...DDGNMGT2IF1.DTL Link to comment
BalletNut Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 Thank you for the report, balletdad. It'll be interesting to hear how Feijoo and Karapetyan will do in the full Swan Lake. Link to comment
