"I was choked up from the start, and the piece sustained that sibling connection so beautifully that I was in tears by the end. Everyone else must have felt the same, 'cause they gave it a roaring standing ovation, midway through the program". Wendy Perron on Thursday, Mar 18, 2010. Dance Magazine.

"Just under eight minutes, "Solea" began with the Corellas sitting back to back on a dark stage. What unfolded was an intriguing melding of flamenco and classical ballet. A few flourishes of the pointe shoes became the equivalent of flamenco shoes tapping. Each dancer clapped as the other leaped or turned - ballet moves to a flamenco beat. At the end, the two laughed as the audience roared". Jocelyn Noveck. Associated Press March 19, 2010


"The third pas de deux was Maria Pages' Solea for Carmen and Angel Corella. You think New York doesn't miss Carmen Corella? Think again. She was gorgeous". Haglundsheel. March 18, 2010

"Corella reaches us as never before- with outsized personality, authenticity, and warmth". Explore Dance Lori Ortiz March 19, 2010

"It gives the two Corellas, both mature interpreters, the space they need to produce clear shapes against a background subtly shaded with emotion, and describes their loving companionship". Robert Johnson/The Star-Ledger March 19, 2010.


"Brother and sister basked in a vociferous ovation at the end. This center segment of the programme was well-contrasted and excitingly danced". OBERON'S GROVE, March 20th.

"Solea is a tribute to Flamenco's rich history in Spain and Carmen flies through fiery flamencoesque foot work en pointe while Angel slices through jumps with multiple beats. They trade off and play with traditional flamenco structures and rhythms in a satisfying re-interpretation of the form. One sees here why Angel has been such an audience favourite for the last decade-plus. He is a ball of energy, every move bursting with such finesse and charisma; one can't help but love him". Dance. Com Meghan Frederick March, 22

 

 

"Cuando Angel me pidió que creara un Paso a dos para él y para Carmen enseguida entendí que quería que fuera una Soleá la que dialogara con la Danza Clásica; su compás, su cante, las melodías creadas por Rubén y su final por Bulerías convertían a esta experiencia en un serio juego.

El proceso creativo lo he planteado de un modo parecido al que seguimos en la creación de una coreografía flamenca, empezando por la composición de su música original para el montaje. Encuentro sumamente interesante este camino de colaboración entre el Flamenco y la Danza Clásica con un enorme potencial para enriquecerse mutuamente.

El juego es un ingrediente fundamental de este trabajo, tan fundamental y necesario como lo puede ser en la relación de dos hermanos que, además, comparten su dedicación y amor por la Danza".
