CARL ORFF Carmina Burana Birmingham Royal Ballet - Silvia Jimenez

“Silvia Jimenez as Fortuna, empress of the world, has at last a role that enables her to celebrate her strong technique and her leggy height. Still not a principal, Jimenez shines as a femme fatale and meets the challenge of opening and closing the show in a mini dress and spiky stilettos with stylish self assurance.”
