Beatriz Stix-Brunell and Valeri Hristov in Emeralds, Royal Ballet, April 2017. © Dave Morgan.In Emeralds, to dreamy incidental music by Fauré, the dancers inhabit a shady green world. The corps of ten women twist and curl at the start like aquatic plants tugged by a current. The first ballerina, Beatriz Stix-Brunell, could be a water nymph, touching the hands of her suitor, Valeri Hristov, in the opening pas de deux before drifting out of reach. Then, in her solo, Stix-Brunell becomes a wilful ondine, playing with droplets of water and shafts of light. -- source link
