Title	Mexican ballet at opera house
Identifier	spl_wl_exp_00916
Description	Posters for Ballet Folklorico, performing at Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World’s Fair). “Like a living travel folder with an irresistible come-hither look, the Ballet Folklorico of Mexico opened its World’s Fair engagement last night at the Opera House before a cheering audience. By week’s end, it may very well spark a tourist boom for the land of the sun. The company of 75 muchachas and jovenes (you see, I’m indoctrinated already) danced, sang and played its way into the hearts of a houseful of admirers in its first Seattle performance. It is an extraordinarily handsome, virile group, as long on smiles as it is on talent. In 11 dances, bridged without interruption by interludes of compelling instrumental and choral music, the ballet told a visual story of Mexico that ranged from the 13th Century Aztecs to a present-day Christmas festival in Jalisco.” (Louis R. Guzzo, Seattle Times, August 28, 1962, p. 19.)
