Bellini's Florentine debut dedicated to Dominic
The Florentine Opera's production of Vincenzo Bellini's "I Capuleti e I Montecchi" ("Romeo and Juliet") runs this weekend and according to Florentine's Amy Erato, the three performances -- 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and a 2:30 Sunday matinee -- are dedicated to Dominic Frinzi, who passed away earlier this year.

Excited to bring Juliet to life
Rehearsing for Milwaukee Ballet's "Romeo & Juliet" has been a lot of hard work and a ton of fun. Because I've been splitting my time between Milwaukee and my job at the Joffrey Ballet in Chicago, the time that I can rehearse Juliet is usually very concentrated and intense.

The ultimate love story brought back by ballet
When Michael Pink took over the toe shoes of the Milwaukee Ballet in '02, he brought forth a piece based on one of the most well-known works of Shakespeare. Now at the end of the 36th season, Pink has brought back "Romeo & Juliet" again.

A day in the life of a ballet dancer
A day in the life of a ballet dancer is not all that unusual compared to most people's regular workday. I work from 9:30 in the morning until 6:15 in the evening, five to six days a week when I'm preparing or rehearsing for a show.
