dirac Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 A gallery of photos of Soviet ballet figures by Yvgeny Umnov. Quote Yvgeny Umnov is now considered to be the classic Soviet photographer, master of the reportage genre and chronicler of Moscow. Through his lens, people now can see not only the sceneries of the city and portraits of its citizens, but also the incredible world of ballet and dance. Link to comment
dirac Posted August 7, 2022 Author Share Posted August 7, 2022 A review of Cape Town City Ballet by Faeron Wheeler for Broadway World. Quote On opening night, we had principal artist Kirstél Paterson as Juliet and international artist Lêusson Muniz from Brazil as Romeo. While the pair are excellent dancers, I found they lacked chemistry together. They also both tended towards being melodramatic, especially in the scene where Thibault and Mercutio died, as well as in the final scene where the lovers take their lives. However, I did find their first meeting to be very sweet and charming, and many of their quieter moments together worked. Link to comment
