dirac Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 Ricardo Graziano talks about the return of his ballet "Amorosa." Quote “I always end up making changes,” he said. “When we have a normal season and get to performance week, the first time we see the ballet on stage with lights and costumes, is pretty much the day before the opening performance. If there’s something I don’t like from far away, I don’t have time to change it.” But with repeat performances, “I can fix the little things I didn’t like the first time.” Link to comment
