"Rojo and the company have been rehearsing for an eight-performance engagement in Madrid at the Teatro Real, from October 15 to 22, to present Tómasson’s Swan Lake. 'I love that theater and the company will enjoy performing there for the first time,” she says of her hometown’s most famous opera house. “It’s a beautiful time of year to be there, and ballet audiences in Spain are always eager for high-quality performances, so they’ll embrace the company. It’ll be nice to go home to San Francisco.'" - Tamara Rojo in conversation with C California Style & Culture magazine https://bit.ly/46Xlrc2
