Wonderful pictures! However there is a mistake. Picture number 4 is not Karen Kain but Loipa Araujo in “Coppelia”

Oops, you’re right – her face is clearly visible if you zoom in. That’s why putting an article together quickly, and trusting other people’s labelling, is dangerous. I will change my labelling immediately! Grazie.

You`re welcome. just lucky I lived in Marseilles when the ballet was created on those 2 beautiful ballerine (I hope this time no one will jump at me for using this word for those 2 ladies…).
I have to add… are you sure about the Baryshnikov picture being from “Jeune homme et la mort”? I remember this as postcards and posters when I was young but thought it was from a Twyla Tharp piece
gramilano says
Push Comes to Shove? Don’t think so, this, I believe, is a studio shot by Max Waldman when Baryshnikov was dancing Le Jeune Homme in 1975. A couple of years later (similar studio, similar lighting) they shot publicity shots for the Tharp piece.
