CORELLA TO DANCE PEER GYNT IN HOUSTON.HOUSTON--American Ballet Theatre principal Angel Corella discovered two loves during his January visit to Texas: key lime pie Key lime pie is a dessert made of key lime juice, egg yolks, and sweetened condensed milk in a pie crust. The pie is topped with meringue, then baked until the meringue is a golden brown.[1] Some key lime pies use other types of whipped toppings or none at all. and the dramatic choreography of Houston Ballet artistic director Ben Stevenson. Corella corella Noun a white Australian cockatoo has been tapped for the taxing lead in the revival of Stevenson's evening-length Peer Gynt in June. "It's very challenging," says Corella. "I don't think I leave the stage for more than four or five seconds." Back in January the twenty-three-year-old dancer spent a week in Houston rehearsing the role created for the virtuoso dancer Kenneth McCombie in 1981. Henrik Ibsen's epic tale is set to Edvard Grieg's music, arranged by John Lanchbery, and Stevenson's choreography calls for a male dancer skilled in both technique and theatrics. Relaxing after an arduous day in the studio, Corella feasted at a Gulf Coast-style restaurant, eating veal and the aforementioned pie. "I love it?" he pronounced, but then said he would work "extra hard tomorrow." Besides a sweet tooth, the Spaniard admits to a fondness for evening-length dramatic roles such as Peer. His favorite so far has been Romeo in Kenneth MacMillan's Romeo and Juliet Romeo and Juliet star-crossed lovers die as teenagers. [Br.
