                    [Summary] => The dances  were  mere excerpts from Giselle and Swan Lake  and, therefore, taken out of context. Consequently, they could not evoke to the fullest degree joy, ecstasy, sorrow or despair. Instead, focus was on the dancers’ technical excellence which shone brightly. The bare stage further highlighted the dancing.  There are higher-ranking Bolshoi stars than those who performed  at the CCP,  but they did represent the best of Bolshoi’s century-old  tradition of superb skill, grace and artistry.

                    [Summary] => The Meralco Theater owned by the Lopez family opened a few years before the Cultural Center of the Philippines theater did, and the Meralco Theater’s inaugural program featured dancers of the Russian Bolshoi Ballet. The CCP theater opened in 1968, and during the martial law regime that followed, I saw the legendary ballerina Maya Plesitskaya dance "The Dying Swan" at the CCP theater.
