He will accompany her on this occasion the first Cuban dancer Ányelo Montero, in the role of Don José, and the national ballet of that country, according to a press release from the BNC.
Valdés, who had the opportunity to work the character with the guide of Alicia Alonso, interpreter of exception of the work, was responsible for his assembly in the Panamanian company, for which he had the collaboration of the Maître Ernesto Díaz.
The outstanding dancer incorporated the role to her repertoire more than 20 years ago, and has made it theirs next to the BNC and the Mariunsky ballet of St. Petersburg.
Carmen is a classic piece of the twentieth century and its creator, Alberto Alonso, is considered the father of the Cuban choreography. In it he uses the music of the Opera of Georges Bizet in an imaginative arrangement of Russian composer Rodion Shchedrin.
-The premiere took place in Moscow in 1967, with Maya Plisetskaya in the main role. That year, Alicia Alonso danced him in Havana and his magnificent interpretation constitutes a paradigm within the Danzarian universe, in Cuba and abroad.
Valdés has expressed words of recognition to the director of the National Ballet of Panama, Sasa Adamovic, to the Minister of Culture of that country, Maruja Herrera, and the teacher Gloria Barrios, for this new collaboration between both companies, which have sustained a fruitful exchange for decades.
Other artists of the National Ballet of Panama, as well as guests, have also been in charge of the main roles in the season, in which the scene of the shadows of the Bayadera is also presented, concludes the statement of the prestigious Cuban format.
