Almost everyone knows how the Marinsky or the Bolshoi or the Covent Garden or the Lincoln Center looks like. Well, i want to add my two cents to the list. Above there's a picture of the Gran Teatro de la Habana, our-(yes, still mine even being in Miami)-own nest for ballet and opera in Havana, and house of Mme. Alonso's National Ballet of Cuba. There's where i saw her dancing for first and last time. It brings back my best memories, and i wanted to share it with my fellow BT'rs. Isn't it beautiful...?

Indeed it is, and now I can know the home of this ballet, which I enjoyed perhaps 10 times in 1979 at the Met. Several performances by Mme. Alonso as well, as Carmen among other roles. Good for you.
