The 24th Ballet Festival of Havana, dedicated to the 450th birth anniversary of William Shakespeare, has opened with a choreography inspired by his work "Romeo and Juliet".
A parade of students and dancers from the Cuban National Ballet (BNC) started the day in which Cuban ballerina Alicia Alonso, 94, took the stage at the Karl Marx theatre on Tuesday to greet the participants in an event bringing together soloists, choreographers and dance companies from almost 30 countries.
Lhe Cuban ballet company portrayed he drama of the lovers of Verona by combining festive scenes with the rivalry between the Montague and Capulet families, and also incorporated the character of a seller of masks of joy, sadness and death, as the embodiment of Shakespeare.
This show begins with the celebration of the BNC´s 66th anniversary and over the following ten days there will be other choreographies based on the Shakesperean tragedies as “Hamlet”, “Othello” and “The Tempest”.
