“Alberto Alonso, the Cuban choreographer who died in Florida on December 31 aged 90, was one of the triumvirate which from scratch made Cuba one of the great ballet nations; he also created one of the world’s most famous ballets, Carmen Suite, for two celebrated prima ballerinas, the Bolshoi’s Maya Plisetskaya and the Cuban Alicia Alonso, his sister-in-law.

Alberto Alonso was Cuba’s one major ballet choreographer, developing a fusion style unique to his island that combined unselfconscious eroticism, Afro-Hispanic folklore drama and ballet’s more athletic elements.”*
