Magnificent media coverage of this worldwide cultural event continues with CNN, the BBC, and the Financial Times bringing great stories of The Royal Ballet's historic trip to Havana.
Tony Hall on FT.com writes today:
When the trip was being planned we all knew it was going to be exciting but I don’t think any of us, apart probably from Carlos himself, realised just what a profound impact the Royal Ballet tour would have on the country. It’s the power of art to bring two completely different cultures together. By the time you read this I should be there myself, and, despite a forecast temperature of 35°, I can’t wait.
On Opening Night, The Washington Post posted this report from Reuters.
Still this morning, The New York Times is at loss for words on this historic event. [Wait … let's switch to the new GLOBAL edition of "The New York Times with the International Herald Tribune" to see if something's there. Nope. Not a word.] Pfeh.
