Book Reviews of In Classic Style: The Splendor of American Ballet Theatre
Book Review: Oversized book of stunning ballet photos
Summary: 5 Stars
Make sure you have a large coffee table before purchasing this book. It is oversize and heavy and full of very nice pictures of eight ballets from ABT. Most of the photos are full page with no margins and a number are spread across two pages. There is a simple page of text to introduce each ballet but after that the pages are all pictures. Photographing the ballet can be challenging since the lighting is usually difficult and the subjects are always moving. It is clear that Nancy Ellison is very knowledgeable of these performances and performers and has captured these moments when the movement and expressions were just right. Many world class dancers are featured including Nina Ananiashvili, Jose Carreno, Irina Dvorovenko, Paloma Herrera and Gillian Murphy. You also get a good look at some of the lavish sets and costumes at the Met. This book is nicely printed on thick paper and it has heavy cloth bound covers. This is an expensive book, but worth it and it cost less than a ticket to the Met.
