cubanmiamiboy Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Now that a lot of conversations are going on about Apollo, and I've been reminiscing of the only way I knew it-( before videos..., before coming to US), here it is. Unauthorized and staged by Alicia Alonso and her powerful memory. (The Trust wrote her, offering a coached, authorized version. Her answer.."No, thanks. This is how I learned it from Balanchine himself in the 1950's, and this is how's going to stay here). Of course....we all know the subsequent changes the ballet had from the one she danced with Eglevsky and Nora Kaye to the one with D'Amboise to finally the version for Misha, which we're all seeing this season. A little detail. In the 1970's Lifar went to Cuba and coached Esquivel in the role. Again.... unauthorized. Enjoy. Link to comment
