Rosella Hightower in Merry Wives of Windsor

It's difficult to find footage of Hightower who is clearly an artist of verve, personality, grace. She has a high degree of dramatic stage presence, lending to even this delicious little appetizer, humor, authenticity and authority. By the way, this is a really wonderful opera film, with Colette Boky, Igor Gorin and Norman Foster - all great artists who are hard to find. If people are interested, I could post more clips of some of their excellent singing. Especially fascinating is Ms. Boky, who was considered the Brigitte Bardot of the opera world. From the Ballerina Gallery: "Rosella Hightower was born in 1920 in Ardmore, OK, USA. She studied with Dorothy Perkins in Kansas City. Danced with Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo 1938-41, American Ballet Theatre 1941-5, Massine's Ballet Russe Highlights Co. 1945-46, Original Ballet Russe 1945-46. In 1947 she joined the de Cuevas Ballet. As its prima ballerina she toured the world and was one of the most popular dancers in Europe. She had an enormous repertory, including many creations for Taras, Bournonville's La Sylphide and Sleeping Beauty. She danced the Black Swan Pas de deux with Rudolf Nureyev in his London debut in 1961. Since 1962 she has directed the Centre de Danse Classique in Cannes which attracts dancers from all over the world and where many of her famous collegues give guest classes." http://www.ballerinagallery.com/hight...
