I liked the culture of Spain. I enjoyed reading your stories about Petipa and Minkus and watching YouTube excerpts from the ballet. I have not been to the ballet of the Mariinsky Theater for a long time, now I have other worries. I'm glad you didn't get hurt in the Nashville incident. Be safe and healthy.Nadezdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159291982383302922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-35081157332855337742023-03-28T21:06:50.748-04:002023-03-28T21:06:50.748-04:00Hi Vagabonde, Once again your research into a give...Hi Vagabonde, Once again your research into a given topic is both remarkable and thorough! I enjoyed reading Don Quixote but I must lack the imagination it takes to translate it into a ballet or to understand what's going on in many of the scenes... I guess I prefer words although I do truly appreciate the skill and beauty of ballet performances. My wife on the other hand, is fully mesmerized by both the performances and the story behind them. I've never been able to dance and have no rhythm but I do love listening to a variety of music genres. There is no doubt the the best ballet dancers have more skill, dedication, coordination, strength and stamina than most professional athletes...

I was uninformed about every bit of it. Opera and ballet were so much more central to cultural and general life in the 19th century — before recorded entertainment took over! <br /><br />Thanks for this great post. <br /><br />Your comment on my blog was the first I had heard about the horrifying shooting so terribly close to your home! I hope you are not traumatized (though you are clearly safe).<br /><br />best… mae at maefood.blogspot.comMae Travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328946930935633113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-3810311785810710462023-03-26T16:35:46.605-04:002023-03-26T16:35:46.605-04:00Simply fabulous, how wonderful to see this ballet....Simply fabulous, how wonderful to see this ballet.<br />Many thanks too for all the research you have included in your post.<br /><br />Enjoy the remainder of Sunday and happy Spring wishes.<br /><br />All the best JanLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-23210061001370991982023-03-26T08:42:54.563-04:002023-03-26T08:42:54.563-04:00This was another amazing look behind the scenes of...This was another amazing look behind the scenes of a stunning production based on a historic novel - thanks so much for sharing.

If I have a chance to see this opera, I certainly will. And I LOVED seeing Baryshnikov dance in his younger years. He did indeed float as he danced. Thank you for providing me with such a treat, dear friend. :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.com
