[i]> Miami City Ballet did a two-performance stand here in Philadelphia, the complete Balanchine's "Jewels." For some reason, the theater moved me from my usual amphitheater seat to the main floor. During the first act, there was an empty box two rows in front of my seat. During the intermission, a group of people came and sat in the box--including Edward Villella. I recognized him at once. No, I didn't have the nerve to speak to him when the performance was over, but, still, even though his performing days are over, I think it was just so cool that I actually got to see, live and in person, the individual who first sparked my interest in ballet!I understand: I hesitate to accost people like that because I feel they're entitled to their privacy. But I would have been similarly tempted, & for a similar reason: It was reading his memoir, "Prodigal Son," that got me back to ballet after a lacuna of more than 30 years. He brought the experience to life so vividly that I found myself remembering how it felt & started to wonder why I had left it for so long.Thank you, Eddie Villella, wherever you are.Tom Parsons[/i]
