Does auto-fill extend even to Greek poets and mythical heroines?
Yes. At least with some autocorrect programs.
What a fabulous cast this was:
Nicholas Magallanes, Violette Verdy and Francisco Moncion
I actually got to see Violette Verdy , many times in the early ’70′s--and she was still a wonderful dancer at that time, with NYCB ( didn’t she spend a stint as director of The Paris Opera Ballet,after she retired from NYCB?)
Magallanes was slightly before my time, but I think I did see Moncion, towards the end of his dancing career
This is one of those legendary moments in the history of my favorite ballet company!
