Nelson Enthralled By Ballet

The New Zealand Ballet Company, enriched by the appearance of two renowned guest artists, Nora Kovach and Istvan Rabovsky, drew packed houses at the Majestic Theatre for an evening and matinee performance. For every member of the ballet the Nelson visit was a very busy one. As in other centres, every member was hard at work preparing within minutes of arriving at the theatre, and there was only a brief respite for them before a rehearsal two hours before the evening performance.
