New Twist On 2 Old Ballet Themes
San Antonio audience saw the Chicago Opera Ballet perform two opera inspired pieces under Ruth Page at municipal auditorium. The troupe mixed tragedy and light romance in "Re Venge" based on IL Trovatore and "The Merry Widow" based on Franz Lehar. Marjorie Talchief drew praise as a leading dancer, with husband George Skibine sidelined by injury. Large TV-era crowd delayed curtain as patrons packed the venue, and the San Antonio Symphony provided music under Len Kopp.
