Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This extraordinary gift book for all ballet lovers is a stunning narrative of Shakespeare's love story; two renowned dancers, both with the American Ballet Theater--Angel Corella and Paloma Herrera--have recreated especially for the book the roles of Romeo and Juliet in the ornate piazzas and palaces of fair Verona itself.

The photographs are accompanied by a re-telling of the plot, choreography notes, and excerpts from the folio edition of Shakespeare's play. This evocative tableaux is sure to delight and inspire dancers and romantics alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bellissima!, December 9, 1998
By A Customer
I love this book, the whole idea of it - from the wonderful photographs to the amazing ballet dancers. I have looked at it many times and every time at a different level. First, the photos and the wonderful shots of Verona, second for the ballet dancers and then third for the writing. When books seem to be priced into the stratosphere, this little gem is a bargain and a great gift for the holidays for young and old.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish I had Paloma's turnout, December 4, 1998
By A Customer
I have been a ballet dancer all my life and I feel Nancy Ellison's book is a tribute to all dancers. This book truly captures and celebrates the beauty and essence of the art of ballet. I envy Paloma's talent and with this book it's not hard to see why. The photos show her graceful pirouttes and impressive turnouts. The scenery is breathtaking, but what is more captivating is the way Ms. Ellison managed to capture the dancers' attitude in the photos. With every dancer's leap, you can really feel the movement of dance. It's almost as if the dancers are about to jump off the pages. This book is stunning and delightful for all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, August 3, 2003
A Kid's Review
This book is so beautiful and I am so fortunate to have found a copy of it! Ms. Ellison has captured the true feelings of Romeo and Juliet with her pictures! From the very tips of the dancers fingers to their eyelashes you truly believe that they ARE Romeo and Juliet, from their first meeting to the scene in the tomb. By the time you finish reading you are completely swept away to a world where true love is so beautiful and so inviting, you cry. Ms. Herrera and Mr. Corella are two of my favorite dancers and they fit the part perfectly! Ms. Ellison used the natural light given to illuminate the dancers and give an extra sense of feeling to the story. To everyone who buys this book take it to your heart and believe that anything is possible.
