	Introducing his emotional 'Lady' to Boston - The Boston Globe
		Caniparoli's "Lady" is by now a decade old and has been performed by a half-dozen midsize regional troupes in Canada and the United States.
		"Lady" gives Caniparoli welcome exposure in the Northeast, and it just might be the vehicle for the international touring that the financially strapped company hasn't done in more than a decade.
		And while Marguerite and Armand are the names of the principals in "Lady," just as they were in the Dumas, his "Cinderella" won't have a Cinderella.

		Divided into three acts and four scenes, the action of "Lady of the Camellias," except for the country Garden Scene of Act II, develops in opulent, Rembrandt lit interiors of ballrooms and boudoirs.
		Although in Act III the gowns worn by the ladies are extravagant in gilded lace work, their costumes for Act I and II are appropriately elegant.
		However, within the world of "Lady of the Camellias" Caniparoli channels virtuosity and its attendant frivolity into the service of his narrative.

		''The Lady of the Camellias'' was to have its premiere at Marie Hale's Ballet Florida in West Palm Beach, possibly in the 1991-92 season.
		Beyond Dumas' play, ''The Lady of the Camellias'' was the source of Verdi's libretto for the opera ''La Traviata.'' There have been several movie versions, with the best known released by MGM in 1937 as ''Camille'' with Greta Garbo and Robert Taylor - arguably Garbo's best role.

	Tulsa Ballet - The Lady of the Camellias - Review
		Tulsa's Ballet patrons have known what a passionate ballet Lady of the Camellias is since its Oklahoma debut in 2000 where it received curtain call after curtain call, but in a tremendous break for the company it has recently become internationally recognized as well.
		When the artistic director of the Sintra Festival in Portugal saw a tape of the company performing Lady, he enthusiastically invited them to make their international debut at festival as the only American ballet company invited, where they performed for sold out audiences.
		The tragic love story is based on the book La Dame aux Camellias, the same book several motion pictures and the wildly popular opera, La Traviata, drew their stories from.

		None other than Bernardo Bertolucci called THE LADY WITHOUT CAMELLIAS “a beautiful Antonioni film that is very underrated — it’s one of his best.” Jonathan Rosenbaum also cites it as one of five Antonionis on his list of the 1000 films to see.
		The “lady without camellias” is a Milanese shopgirl who is discovered by a sleazy movie producer.
		A devastating work (that is an ideal companion to either Visconti’s BELLISSIMA or Ophuls’ LA SIGNORA DI TUTTI), CAMELLIAS was originally conceived for Gina Lollobrigida, who turned it down because of its stinging portrait of the Italian film industry and of actresses very much like her.

		Boston Ballet’s presentation of Lady of the Camellias is verypretty.
		Chopin’s score is well executed and also pretty, but this ballet falls short of the magic of the company’s production of The Nutcracker and lacks the bravura of their Don Quixote, the two most moving performances I’ve seen from this company.
		Lady of the Camellias is the tale of Marguerite, a courtesan, falling in love with Armand Duval, choosing him over her suitor and protector, the Baron de Varville.

		Worms comes out on top, though not literally as every time Bernhardt embraces him, he is smothered in her feather boa and he keeps falling out of bed into the coffin she always travels with.

		In his much overpraised staging of the Old Vic's Romeo and Juliet, he injected brawling Renaissance vigor at the cost of turning a poetic tragedy into a documentary on 15th century juvenile delinquents.
		He tries to press The Lady of the Camellias between the pages of the Kinsey report, but the Dumas romance is too wilted for even hothouse sociology.
		Playing Camille's lover, John Stride indulges in so much whinnying, snorting and foot pawing that it is not clear whether he is suffering from the onset of amour or the opening of Aqueduct.
