... that the ballet The Cellist is about the cellistJacqueline du Pré? Source: "Numbness in her fingertips was among the early symptoms of a debilitating condition that robbed Jacqueline du Pré of the ability to play the cello and cut short her life. Now, more than three decades after the virtuoso musician’s death aged 42 from multiple sclerosis, she has inspired a production by the Royal Ballet." ([1])
ALT1:... that in the ballet The Cellist, the cello is personified by a male dancer? Source: "The Cellist features Royal Ballet principals Lauren Cuthbertson as Du Pré and Matthew Ball as Barenboim, while Marcelino Sambé personifies her cello." ([2])
ALT2:... that in The Cellist, a ballet about cellist Jacqueline du Pré, the cello is personified by a male dancer? Source: same as above
Overall: Article is new enough, long enough, I couldn't see any close-phrasing, there's a QPQ and the hook/s are cited. I find ALT2 the most intriguing! Lajmmoore (talk) 21:01, 24 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
