On Monday, previewing the love it will shower on this much-admired dancer, it invited dancers from Miami City Ballet, San Francisco Ballet and Boston Ballet to perform "Majisimo," a piece created in 1965 for the National Ballet of Cuba that combines Hispanic dance with traditional ballet.
Also dancing was Carreno's compatriot at ABT, Xiomara Reyes, and she seemed energized by the experience, dancing with particular gusto and verve, especially in a series of turns so speedy they drew cheers from the audience.
Marcelo Gomes was his usual dashing self in two excerpts that required his expert partnering skills.
