TESTIMONIALS
These dancers in this picture did an absolute amazing performance last night. It was so moving I had tears in my eyes.
I think "Amazing Artist" should be a new ballet company rank. Above principal dancer perhaps.
SHE SIZZLED. HE SMOLDERED. SPARKS FLEW. The Glamorous La Scala Ballet Principal Nicoletta Manni and her partner Timofej Andrijashenko danced Roland Petit's famous "Carmen" at Svetlana Lunkina's "Canada All Star Gala" this weekend in Toronto. She is one of the first ballerinas to remind me of Zize Jeanmarie who originated the role in all her glory, burning the stage every time she stepped on it as Carmen.
Yet one more remarkable achievement of the Canada A-S Ballet Gala--excellence in performance and respect for history.
Présentant d'extraordinaires duos, le Canada All-Star Ballet Gala mettait en valeur la qualité d'interprétation plus que les prouesses techniques. Grâce, émotion et spiritualité étaient au rendez-vous, et la soirée fut mémorable. Merci à Svetlana Lunkina d'avoir réuni toutes ces Étoiles qui m'ont procuré tant de bonheur samedi dernier, 28 octobre 2017, à Toronto. MERCI aux artistes qui se sont livrés corps et âmes.
All the performances were sublime!
The Beautiful--inside and out--National Ballet of Canada Star Svetlana Lunkina who is the Artistic Director of the show-stopping "Canada All Star Ballet Gala" with a cast of 17 Special Dancers, performed in Toronto tonight. A standing ovation was given by the entire audience. BRAVA, Sveta!
