"The Hamburg Ballet Tage (Days) Continue"

"La Traviata" performance at 7:30 pm on July 5, 2023

The performance begins with an auction of Marguerite's belongings after she departs.

The cast has been changed from the previous day, with Rocío Aleman as Marguerite. The role of Armand (confusing, isn't it) is played by Marti Fernández Paixa. Rocío is from Mexico and Paixa is from Spain. Ballet is an art without words, so it is truly borderless... Well, it seems that they both had a common education in French.

Rocío's Aleman is more of a heroine type than Elisa from the previous day. The makeup she applied near the end of the performance also showed her aging.

Marguerite saw herself in "Manon", but... Manon died in the arms of the one she loved, and Marguerite left on her own...

I just can't get the feeling of deeply loving a prostitute (even if she's high-class?), and I think that unparalleled beauty is a prerequisite for that... so I think this day is better than the previous day's cast.

I think the role of Armand is more suitable for anyone than Marguerite, but...it's not an object but a subject...Paisa was very good. She was tall, had beautiful legs, had good technique, and was good at lifts.

I actually like Agnes Hsu who played Manon. I'd like to see Marguerite someday. I think I'll be hooked.

The title role is Alexandre Torsch.

I still remember Sasha Riabko's brilliant performance, so Torsch is at a disadvantage (sorry). But I think it's a great work. I think many talented people have tried to portray the life of the genius Vaclav Nijinsky, but this ballet is particularly noteworthy.

The composition, the choice of music, it's amazing that they came up with such a story...

If you watch it seriously, you'll be exhausted.

And his wife, Romola, is played by Alessandra Ferri. To put it bluntly, she was an actress. She looks like Torsh's mother though... (sorry
