SML101 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I attended the gala tonight - it was absolutely wonderful. However, the order of performances was changed in the second half and a Swan Lake performance was added. I would like to know who the dancers were in the added piece - can anyone tell me ? They were not listed on the printed program or the SF Ballet website cast listing. Thank you ! Link to comment
Paul Parish Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Sofiane Sylve and the new soloist, Vito Mazzeo -- Link to comment
SML101 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Sofiane Sylve and the new soloist, Vito Mazzeo -- Thank you ! I think the cast for the 4th Movement and Finale was changed as well. Link to comment
Balleroger Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Once again, Lorena Feijoo and Vitor Luiz showed that sparks fly whenever they dance together. The two of them, plus Daniel Deivison, in Villa-Lobos' sensuous Uirapuru would be a triumph for SF Ballet. I hope it happens while we still have them in the Company. Possokhov seems interested in recognizing the contributions of our Latin American dancers. Link to comment
