GO: Amalia Hernandez’s Ballet Folklorico de Mexico

October 11, 2007 by Apollinaire Scherr Leave a Comment

For this preview in Newsday, I went to see Hernandez’s Ballet Folklorico in the Bronx. Parts of it–the many parts with live music–were so beautiful and sweet, I wanted to cry. (So did a lot of the rest of the audience, it sounded like.)
Anyway, the company is playing all up and down the East coast for the next two months (I mention only the local shows in my Newsday article), so for a treat, catch them.
P.S. Please check out wonderful readers’ contributions in the two earlier posts–this, on active audiences, and this, on how Pavlova was doing the Pavarotti thing a hundred years ago. (I know, I know, it’s ridiculous: nothing for a week and then three posts at once.)
