Romeo and Juliet
|
PATRICIO MELO |
I love this ballet, John Cranko was a genius The way he tells the history is just great. The Ballet de Santiago is very lucky because Marcia Haydée is our director. Cranko created many ballets for her and now she is here in Chile-such a great Ballerina and Actress. Well I hope you enjoy these pictures, and thanks for your comments.
I took this with my first camera, I remember I was on the stage and running to the the 3rd floor to take it. This is not a digital picture, it’s with a negative, and was the first one I developed in my dark room.

Look how lucky we are, here is Marcia Haydée and Richard Cragun working with Andreza and Luis.

Lidia and Nicolas in the Balcony Pas de Deux with Georgette Tsinguirides.

Marcela and Gabriel, this was the first time he danced Romeo and he did very very good.

Andreza, very nice Juliet.

Ballet de Santiago is a very special company, Marcia always said this company has not just very good dancers, but also has very good actors and that makes this a special ballet company.
Here is Margarita and Paulina in Mercutio death scene rehearsal.

Luis Ortigoza with Marcia and Richard in Balcony Pas de Deux.

Marcia, Andreza and Luis in the last scene.

To me this is a very special picture, Andreza and Luis rehearsal and in the mirror Marcia Haydée and Richard Cragun.
