Roberta Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 My name is Roberta. I'm a dual Italian-U.S. citizen, currently living in the U.S. capital city. My two passions are helping migrant populations and watching dance - an odd combination, I realise. I firmly believe that the arts, particularly dance and the visual arts, can help heal a wounded spirit. I wish that the bureaucrats and politicos would understand. I've been attending performances of ballet for many years, in many places. I've watched the main European companies for a long time and am slowly becoming more knowledgeable about NYCB, ABT and the Washington Ballet. POB, the Mariinsky and NYCB are my current favorites although I also raise the flag for my dear La Scala in Milano. I'm also in awe of the headway made by ballet companies in the Far East, such as in Japan and Korea. I also enjoy dance films and anything in which Rudolf Nureyev is featured. Of course, I saw and enjoyed The White Crow at its local premiere, this past Friday. I hope to be able to discuss this in the future. Quote Link to comment
Drew Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 (edited) Welcome @Roberta to Balletalert--I look forward to reading your impressions of performances and thoughts about ballet in general. White Crow won't open where I live for some weeks, but I am certainly hoping to see it. Edited May 8, 2019 by Drew Quote Link to comment
Roberta Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 Thank you, Drew. I know that it's in limited release in the USA at present but will hopefully expand to more theatres. Quote Link to comment
