What a comment…

“I could see why the Opera de Paris might want to perform this evening to reflect their history. But I don’t see why we should face tired French works, when there is a world of fresh choreography out there and many true Masterworks of the Twentieth Century to perform first.” Have you seeing the fresh choreography that is offered on stages around Europe? Many of them are just a mix of everything(modern, classical ballet) and are very bad copies from the most famous ballets. There is no way, the old ballets are still the most elegants and more understanble to the public. If you don’t like what they are doing at State Opera don’t go to watch, because if go there just to criticize dancers it is really not nice.

“Once more former artistic director Gyula Harangozo deserves a mention for the legacy of beautiful talented dancers he left Manuel Legris to work with. Almost all of today’s and tomorrow’s stars who look so good now were recruited by Harangozo. Nice work.” Well, in my time with Harangozo, he was giving oportunities just the russian mafia, or lets generalize, to the ex-URSS… Many good dancers that were not part of this mafia did not have the chance to show up. And this I say with conviction because I was there and I saw it. Many phisicaly talented dancers were hired by Harangozo’s time, but their technique were weak, and they became really good dancers with the help of the old and new ballet masters in the company, as well with the great technical knowlage of Legris.

One question, did you ever dance or did you ever had a big knowlage about ballet technique, as well ballet dancers body structure?
