Ballet costumes are easier that opera because they are designed for movement.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think American Ballet Theatre is setting that standard now for classical ballet, that you can dream big, and it doesn't matter what you look like, where you come from, what your background is.
And then you have the classical ballerinas, they're like sopranos. Applied to the dance.
It's hard with ballet because your aesthetic really is important. It's different from acting and from film. Nobody wants to watch somebody who is sickly thin. And it's interesting because I have danced with people who are ill, have eating disorders, and a light goes off within them.
What is true of ballet is no less true of the other lively arts. Change is built into their natures. You watch a performance, and then... it's gone.
Dance stories, unlike those in opera, are usually simple.
It seems to me opera is just as relevant as an expressive art as anything else.
Opera is complex for those who perform it, but also for those who listen to it. It takes more time, more patience and more spirit of sacrifice. All this is well worth it because opera offers such deep sensations that they will remain in a heart for a lifetime.
Opera is the ultimate art form. It has singing and music and drama and dance and emotion and story.
The music industry is so easy compared to the ballet world.
Ballet is an incredibly difficult, beautiful art form that takes a lot of training, a lot of time, and a lot of hard work.
