An artist’s dressing room… His hand in mine, this wild, enigmatic presence. On stage, she flies, she takes flight.

From her piano to her rocking chair, she savors every moment, every breath, the silence of a room that vibrates in unison. Her slim silhouette dressed in black, this gait like a ballerina on demi-pointes, she observes her audience, an audience won over in advance.”

Marie-Claude Pietragalla was a ballet star at the Paris National Opera from 1990 to 1998.
