cubanmiamiboy Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I have this same pic from an old cuban ballet book which contains several late 40's and 50's Alonso's, but some of them, like this one, are unidentified. Can somebody recognize ANYTHING...? rg...? http://www.This is a link to a site with copyright violations..com/compagnies...rs/image011.jpg Link to comment
Mme. Hermine Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 is that one of the costumes from Eugene Berman for Giselle? Link to comment
rg Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 in haste, it might be Myrtha, but it's not the Berman scheme. Berman's wilis were in Black. Link to comment
atm711 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 is that one of the costumes from Eugene Berman for Giselle? no..... it is safe to s ay it is not Berman. I don't recall ever seeing her in that costume with BT---I would guess it's from her early Havana days---she did a couple of ballets with them---"The General's Daughter" and something called "Concerto".
