How Cuba Produces Some of the Best Ballet Dancers in the World by Noël Duan December 14, 2015 9:01 PM
http://news.yahoo.com/how-cuba-produces-some-of-the-best-ballet-dancers-020100947.html How Cuba Produces Some of the Best Ballet Dancers in the World By Noël Duan December 14, 2015 9:01 PM Recent graduates of the Ballet Nacional de Cuba School performing at the National Theater of Cuba in Havana in February 2015. (Photo: Getty Images) This story is part of a weeklong Yahoo series marking one year since the opening of relations between the United States and Cuba. Cuba is well known for many forms of dance, from the mambo and the tango to salsa, the cha- cha and the rumba. But only ballet enthusiasts know that the dance form is one of the country’s biggest cultural exports. In Cuba, ballet is just as popular as baseball, a sport where players from the Cuban national team regularly defect to the major leagues in the United States. Unlike in the United States, where ballet is generally considered highbrow art and Misty Copeland is the only ballerina with a household name, the Cuban government funds ballet training and subsidizes tickets to ballet performances. “Taxi drivers know who the principal dancers are,” Lester Tomé, a dance professor at Smith College and former dance critic in Cuba and Chile, tells Yahoo Beauty. Like Cuban baseball players, Cuban ballet dancers have made international marks around the world, from Xiomara Reyes, the recently retired principal dancer at New York City’s American Ballet Theatre to London’s English National Ballet ballet master Loipa Araújo, regarded as one of the “four jewels of Cuban ballet.” In September 2005, Erika Kinetz wrote in the New York Times that “training, especially Cuban training, has been a key driver of the Latinization of ballet,” an important note, considering that European ballet companies dominated the dance world for decades.

SHEA OCT. 29, 2014 Highlights of the performance calendars at the world’s major opera, dance and music halls through December. Opera and ballet Milan Teatro Alla Scala teatroallascala.org The British director Deborah Warner — who set a 2001 Glyndebourne production of Beethoven’s “Fidelio” in a prison camp — will bring a new production of the work to the opera house from Dec. 10 to 23. The production is the final opera that Daniel Barenboim will conduct in his current role as music director. The theater will open its ballet season in December with a new rendering of “The Nutcracker” featuring two of the company’s star performers, Roberto Bolle and Maria Eichwald. Amsterdam Dutch National Opera operaballet.nl Benedict Andrews, the irreverent Australian director who paired Isabelle Huppert and Cate Blanchett in a recent production of Jean Genet’s “The Maids” in New York, will direct a new production of “La Bohème” here in December. Though primarily a theater director, Mr. Andrews has staged several daring opera productions in recent years, including a video-heavy take on Monteverdi’s “The Return of Ulysses” in London that framed the protagonist as a shell- shocked war veteran. The company will also revive popular productions of the ballets “Swan Lake” and “Cinderella” and the opera “Lohengrin.” http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/30/arts/international/top-performances-of-opera-music-and-dance.html?_r=1 Page 1 of 6 Top Performances of Opera, Music and Dance - NYTimes.com 11/5/14 11:12 AM London Royal Opera House roh.org.uk From Nov.
