The wonderful video of
Gillian Murphy as Odette that Mary posted on her blog a couple of days ago got me hunting around for Youtube for ballet treasures. Click
here to see a long clip of Jacques D'Amboise and Tanaquil LeClercq in Jerome Robbins' version of
Afternoon of a Faun. The less-than-perfect video quality can't obscure how beautiful they were.
Beautiful. I really enjoyed that. Ballet is good for whatever ails you.
