dirac Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 The Joffrey Ballet presents "Anna Karenina" at the Kennedy Center. Quote Last Wednesday’s Kennedy Center debut of “Anna Karenina” was heart-wrenching, led by Amanda Assucena, the doomed aristocratic wife who falls in love with the dashing officer and family friend, Cavalry Officer Alexey Vronsky (José Pablo Castro Cuevas), while her husband, Alexey Karenin (Edson Barbosa), dances in grief and despair. Meanwhile, the handsome Konstatin Levin (Xavier Núñez), a family friend and suitor to Kitty (Yumi Kanazawa), who adds perkiness and frivolity to the ballet, demonstrates his passionate desires for Anna in choreographed variations created by the Ukrainian-born Yuri Possokhov, a former Principal with the Bolshoi Ballet and recent choreographer for the San Francisco Ballet.
