Ballet Philippines' "Swan Lake" was highly anticipated because of the guest performances of two international stars. Pinoy pride Candice Adea (formerly artist of Ballet Philippines, Ballet Met and Hongkong Ballet) and golden boy of ballet Joseph Phillips took on the challenge of the classic "Swan Lake". I was fortunate enough to be able to catch them during their last technical dress rehearsal. Their partnership was a good display of good clean technique. Both very meticulous about their movement there was a maturity that I appreciated. Here are snapshots of their grace and power.
