Italian public cheered Cuba’s performance at gala of ballet stars

Rome, Mar 18 (Prensa Latina) The Italian public attending the gala of world dance stars Les Étoiles, in Rome, cheered the performance of Dani Hernández and Claudia García, representatives of the Cuban National Ballet school, local media reported.

The presence of Hernandez and Garcia was highlighted by the specialized digital site Teatri Online, as well as by other publications such as Tuscia Times, Il Cittadino Online, My Where and the Italpress agency, which in a note pointed out that the event reaffirmed “the value of art as a universal language without borders”.

The first dancer Hernández, current director of the National Ballet School “Fernando Alonso”, performed the pas de deux of the second act of Giselle and The Black Swan, from Swan Lake, accompanied by the principal dancer García, who is currently a member of the cast of the Budapest Ballet.

Les Étoiles, organized by the Fondazione Musica per Roma and Daniele Cipriani Entertainment, was held at the Santa Cecilia Hall of the Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone Auditorium in Rome on March 15, 16 and 17, with the presence, in addition to the Cuban ballet exponents, of other international stars of that art.

Among them were the Americans Tiler Peck and Roman Mejia, from the New York City Ballet; the Russian Daniil Simkin, from the American Ballet Theatre; the Italian Alessandro Frola, belonging to the Hamburg Ballet, the Kazakh Bakhtiyar Adamzhan, of the Astana Opera and the Spanish Sergio Bernal homonymous Dance Company.

Also, the Georgian Maia Makhateli, from the Amsterdam Ballet, as well as the Mexican Isaac Hernandez, the Romanian Alina Cojocaru, and the Brazilian Fernanda Oliveira, three exponents of the English National Ballet.

Cuban dancers Dani Hernández and Claudia García were one of the most important novelties of this international ballet event, “loaded with the precious legacy of another legend of world dance, the prima ballerina absolute Alicia Alonso”, according to a review published by Teatri Online.
