THIS PERFECT MOSCOW FESTIVAL BALLET WENT SATURDAY NIGHT AT UNLV'S HAM HALL ON THE UNLV CAMPUS.
IT WAS BETTER THAN PERFECT....ALL THE ELEMENTS...FAMILAR STORY...GIRL LOSES SLIPPER AT MIDNIGHT...RETRIEVED BY PRINCE FOR A REFITTING WITH CONFLICT...THIS IN BALLET FORM.
IT WAS GREAT....COSTUMED...PRODUCED...PROKOFIEV PERFECT SOUND IN THIS ACQUISTICALLY PERFECT SETTING AND............. CHOREOGRAPHY.....ROTISLAV ZAKHAOV....WHOEVER THE HELL YOU ARE YOU HAVE JOINED MY TEAM OF HEROES AMONGST THOSE WHO REALLY EXCELL AT THEIR CRAFT.
WHAT IS BETTER THAN 13 RUSIAN BALLERENIAS ON SATURDAY NIGHT....WHY 14 OF COURSE.
THEN THERE WAS THE LEAD....PLAYED BY PRINCE...KONSTANTIN MARKIN (I THINK)....I HAVE SEEN THIS GUY BEFORE ....HERE...RUSSIA...SOMEWHERE....WHERE EVER IT WAS HE WAS BRILLIANT THERE AND BRILLIANT HERE.....I GOOGLED UNSUCCESSFULLY FOR VIDEO OF THE TWO LISTED PRINCES AND PRODUCED NOTHING....BOTTOM LINE IS YOU MISSED A WORLD CLASS DANCER WHO WAS ON TOP OF HIS GAME THIS NIGHT.
THE ENTIRE PRODUCTION WITH TIMING ...LIGHTING....THEIR 90 FOOT BACKDROP SET AND SOME ADDED STAGE SMOKE CAME OFF LIKE THEY DID IT EVER NIGHT....THE COMPANY HAS DONE IT EVERY NIGHT SINCE 1989......TO DO THIS ON A TRAVELING SHOW...A ONE TIMER...SIMPLY SPECTACULAR....SO GLAD I LIVED TO SEE IT.
THE UNLV PERFORMING ARTS CENTER STAFF REMAINS THE WORLDS BEST AND EVEN THOUGH I HAVE BEEN COMING HERE FOR 30 YEARS THEY GREET AND MEET ME (AND EVERY ONE ELSE) LIKE FAMILY.
I DID 4 EVENTS ON SATURDAY AND SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST...... HERE...BEST BY FAR.
A BIG HAL HOLBROOK MARK TWAIN SPECIAL COMING HERE 22 FEBRUARY.....702 895 2787.
HEARD SOME REFRESHING RUMORS ON THIS NIGHT THAT THE NEVADA BALLET THEATRE IS EXPERIENCING HIGH OPERATIONAL COSTS AT THE SMITH CENTER AND MY BE IN SEARCH OF A MORE ECONOMICAL VENUE......I CAN ONLY HOPE THIS IS TRUE AND THAT THE HAM HALL MIGHT BE THAT VENUE..IT HAS BEEN IN THE PAST WITH GREAT SUCCESS.
CINDERALLA 6 MINUTES LATE SO THEY GET 94 A
