The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus in Greece is a remarkable testament to ancient Greek artistic prowess and classical architecture. Built in the 4th century BCE, this meticulously designed amphitheater features exceptional acoustics, allowing even faint whispers to be heard from the highest seats. It was primarily used for Greek tragedies and comedies, highlighting the cultural significance of theater in ancient times.

the famous fouettés of swan lake

🦢༉

featured above is chloe misseldine, prima ballerina of american ballet theatre, as odile in ‘swan lake’.

the thirty-two fouettés in swan lake, and the embodiment of odette and odile as a whole are considered a stepping stone into a ballerina’s career as a prima. a debut is ultimately a test, a deciding factor in whether a company decides to promote a dancer or leave her alone. the fouettés of odile are difficult, requiring much strength, stamina, and training, performed during the coda after a lengthy pas de deux and variation. the legendary pierina legnani was the first ballerina to accomplish this feat in 1895, the fouettés being added just for her by choreographer marius petipa.

misseldine is the most recent ballerina to join the ranks of principal in the company: her promotion was on july 3rd, 2024, after her performance of odette/odile at the metropolitan opera house in manhattan, new york.

"There were a lot of things the censors wouldn’t let me do in the movies that I had done on stage. They wouldn’t even let me sit on a guy’s lap and I’d been on more laps than a napkin."

Mae West, cited in Jon Lewis, Hollywood v. hard core : how the struggle over censorship saved the modern film industry (New York University Press, 2000)

Opera Garnier where Phantom is based off of in Gaston Leroux's book. The chandelier did fall in the late 1800’s. Other accounts state it was one of the counter weights and not the chandelier. There’s many variations of Erik’s origin but Christine was based off a Swedish singer of the same 1st name.
