"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 ????)

I'm not good at taking photos so it's hard to see, but this stage set is Suvretta House, the retreat where Nijinsky danced for the last time. Yes, it's the stage of Keiko Ueda's "Hotel Svizzla House".

The balcony feels similar.

And there was a similar set in the recent "Casino Royale" (Koike-sensei's work). It's the part where they sing "The Dolphin Song". Is it a homage to past works? Maybe?

As everyone knows, Ueda-sensei is a fan of the Hamburg Ballet, so I think this is where the idea originated.

This is the third time I've seen it, but it's starting to make sense.

Liliom is the name of the main character, a playboy who works at an amusement park. His girlfriend has a child and needs money, so he joins a criminal group, but fails and commits suicide... and then he watches over his child from heaven... It's a sad story. It's not a story about geniuses or royalty, but about the happiness, sorrow, and pain of nameless commoners.

The music, the interplay between Michel Legrand's jazz band and the orchestra, is really fun. The set is also sparkling and a little sad, and full of fantasy.

The heroine, Alina Cojocaru, is really cute, brave, and sad, and I want to hug her shoulders. It's like, "Liliom, what are you going to do if you can't protect this child!"

When I first see Neumeier's recent works, I'm usually like, "Huh?", but after seeing them a few times, I discover and notice things, and it's fun to find the hidden mysteries like a treasure hunt.

However, personally, I want to enjoy the beauty and unexpectedness of ballet, so I don't like the balance in that area. When it becomes too performance-oriented, it can sometimes be difficult.

That said, I was able to enjoy "Liliom" quite a bit, thanks in part to the talent of the heroine and the fact that my knowledge had improved.

The next day was "Ghost Light."

And that was... (continued)
