    For those that are of today's age, Ballet Theater, as it was then known, was the last complete oversee by Michel Fokine of his ballet and Dimitri Romanoff, regisseur, was in charge of rehearsing this ballet. I came into the company in 1958 as a corps dancer with Michael Lland, Royes Fernandez, John Kriza and Erik Bruhn being the male stars. The lady ballerinas were Ruth Ann Koesun, Nora Kaye, Violette Verdy, Lupe Serrano. The second soloists also danced some of the roles sometimes. Still my favorite "white" ballet and this is a marvelous production. Dimitri was a task master for this ballet and the corps girls were not too pleased when this was scheduled.

    • @eugenegauggel1000

      Eric Bruhn was the boyfriend/lover of Rudolf Nureyev. Nureyev got AIDS from Eric and died young, as a result. I met Nureyev in Hawaii where my father played in the orchestra for Nureyev. I was on stage during the dress rehearsal and made eye contact with him. Now I know he was gay, maybe he was checking me out?!

      @currie pederson My ballet teachers, Robert and Carol Brotherton Hanlin also danced with ABT about the same time. When Carol taught us Les Sylphides, she said the same thing about Michel Fokine overseeing the ballet for ABT. That always made me feel special and that we had the true choreography. Our regional company has since repeated Les Sylphides with my daughter dancing in the corps. However, they were taught the Royal Ballet version. I am going to share this version with her and your comments. Thank you for sharing, Diana

    Fokine's great summation of romanticism. Gossamer lightness, the ethereal sylphs ( air elementals ) The first plotless ballet ? The male dancer variously described as a poet, or even the personification of Chopin.

    • @dreplogle1
