Thank you for giving me the chance to re visit a time of my youth when I saw La belle Epoque of ABT. I saw this definitive cast many times. Tudor queen Sallie WILSON will never be forgotten. I'm so grateful, truly.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I never thought I would get to see this ballet nor see any of this generation of ABT's dancers. Sallie Wilson and Marcos Paredes were still doing character roles by the time I got to New York. Off to find Etudes!
Thank you Mr. Coll I saw this at the Music Center in Los Angeles I remember you walking out of the artist entrance one evening. Janet Shibata and Bill Carter were in front of you. Those were wonderful years when Ballet Theatre would come to LA for almost a month.
THANK GOD FOR UA-cam! Only here can we see classical ballet videos. This historic document of the Anthony Tudor ballet Pillar Of Fire is not available on dvd which means it's not on Netflix either, just saying. Pillar was originally produced in 1942 and caused a sensation from it's frank depiction of sexual repression and the negative results from that. Hagar, the main character danced here by Sallie Wilson, became iconic in the world of dramatic narrative ballets Tudor revolutionized.
Was never one of my favorites as a kid. I would ask my parents not to go to that performance if it was one of my choices when we were in New York. I don’t know why. That’s funny to me now.

Very fin-de-siècle, both the music and the dancing.

Beautiful. Thanks so much for posting.
Oh my!!! I saw Sallie do this in 1973! With Gayle Young! How wonderful to see this! Thank you so much for posting!!
I saw this that year, AND I played for Sallie Wilson's ballet class! She was a wonderful person!

So glad you enjoyed this. Those were certainly memorable years for me.
Ellen Everett is my mom! I love this video. Wish there were more videos of her dancing on UA-cam.

What a ridiculous ballet. It’s just walking around the stage. Absurd.
Natalia K, if you study the characters and find out the storyline, it will make sense to you.
Good Job D. Maybe I should revisit that program.
