Actors and singers dance too, sometimes beautifully.<\/p>\n<p>One of the great sequences in film occurs in Luchino Visconti\u2019s <em>The Leopard<\/em> (<em>Il<\/em> <em>Gattopardo<\/em>, 1963) when Burt Lancaster waltzes with Claudia Cardinale. The white fabric of Cardinale\u2019s crinoline billows out around her and her shoulders glow expansively as they circuit the ballroom; she tells Lancaster (playing the Sicilian prince Don Fabrizio) that he is \u201cun ballerino delizioso\u201d &#8211; a delightful dancer. She\u2019s right: with him leading, they make you feel how many different accentuations the waltz can make from 3\/4 tempo, and how much small and large spatial variation. Within <em>The Leopard<\/em>, which has become recognised as one of the greatest films of the twentieth century, Lancaster and Cardinale play characters of different generations, different social classes, different politics &#8211; but for the period of the Waltz they\u2019re in eloquent harmony. Their waltz changes the whole dynamics of the drama.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbo.org.uk\/tickets-and-events\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-59836\" src=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Richard-Joness-production-of-Mark-Anthony-Turnages-Festen-The-Royal-Opera-\u00a92025-Marc-Brenner-3-Kopie-1024x505.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Richard-Joness-production-of-Mark-Anthony-Turnages-Festen-The-Royal-Opera-\u00a92025-Marc-Brenner-3-Kopie-1024x505.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Richard-Joness-production-of-Mark-Anthony-Turnages-Festen-The-Royal-Opera-\u00a92025-Marc-Brenner-3-Kopie-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Richard-Joness-production-of-Mark-Anthony-Turnages-Festen-The-Royal-Opera-\u00a92025-Marc-Brenner-3-Kopie-768x379.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Richard-Joness-production-of-Mark-Anthony-Turnages-Festen-The-Royal-Opera-\u00a92025-Marc-Brenner-3-Kopie-1536x757.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Richard-Joness-production-of-Mark-Anthony-Turnages-Festen-The-Royal-Opera-\u00a92025-Marc-Brenner-3-Kopie-2048x1010.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Richard-Joness-production-of-Mark-Anthony-Turnages-Festen-The-Royal-Opera-\u00a92025-Marc-Brenner-3-Kopie-600x296.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Richard Jones&#8217;s production of Mark-Anthony Turnage&#8217;s <em>Festen<\/em>, The Royal Opera \u00a9 Marc Brenner<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/en\/digital-abo-exklusiv\/\">Subscribe and read more<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"ihc-locker-wrap\"><div  class='ihc_locker_2'><div class='lock_content'><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Imagine_website_Digital_Exklusiv.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Weiterlesen mit Digital+<\/h2>\n<p>Alle Formate in einem ABO.<br \/>\nBequem auf Ihrem mobilen Endger\u00e4t Ihrer Wahl.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Alle Artikel online lesen<\/li>\n<li>Zugang zum ePaper<\/li>\n<li>Zugang zum Online-Archiv von Dance for You<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Jetzt digital freischalten!<\/h4>\n<\/div><div class='lock_buttons'>\n  <!-- Login Form -
