  • ... that as a fifteen-year-old student, ballerina Angelica Generosa replaced an injured schoolmate to perform a lead role in Balanchine's Stars and Stripes after two weeks of rehearsals? Source: "The night ended with “Stars and Stripes,” the consummate, and ridiculous, rousing closer in which Balanchine, responding to the Sousa score (adapted and orchestrated by Hershy Kay), channeled marching bands, cheerleaders and military maneuvers. Angelica Generosa, just 15 and performing on two weeks’ rehearsal because of another dancer’s injury, was a fleet, sure-footed Liberty Bell, shining in the good and elegant hands of Taylor Stanley."

  •   The article meets DYK requirements for length and recent creation. No copyvios detected and QPQ requirement fulfilled. The hook is interesting, and verified by the NY Times cited source. Recommend this DYK for Special occasion holding area, March (Women's History Month). —  JGHowes  talk 16:24, 11 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
