The Three Hills of Misfortune 2

Today, another post about the Three Hills of Misfortune.  I really loved this ballet.  For me, it's right up there with The National Ballet of Canada's presentation of the Four Seasons, Alberta Ballet's Carmina Burana, and the Royal Winnipeg Ballet's interpretation of The Magic Flute as far as favourite ballets I've ever seen.  One thing that really struck me about The Three Hills of Misfortune was the amount of flexed footwork (the second photo of this post is a great example).  I've never seen so many flexed feet in a classical (character-classical?) ballet, and it was BEAUTIFUL!
