2002年 Adam Cooper Interview in TV programme broadcasted by TBS
(「白鳥の湖」について)
Adam ; It gives me far more opportunity , more people get to see me, who wouldn’t normally see me, and when I’m doing ballet,whether be here or in Japan and or in States ,it just gives people much better chance to see me and therefore I get more opportinity to do different things.
Adam ; It’s one of the most tiring roles that I have ever done, because once I’m on stage , it’s pretty non-stop all the way through, also it’s demanding emotionally as well as it’s phisically, because the emotions that you have to go through as the swan, and those the strange character in Act Ⅲ, it’s very taxing.
▼アダムはロイヤル・バレエではあまり報われなかったようだ。にもかかわらずアンソニー・ダウエルは最近、アダムはカンパニーのヒーローだと言ったらしいけど、そう言われてどんな感じ? ‘No. More like the carpet of the company. 「カンパニーのヒーローというより、カンパニーのカーペットみたいなもんだよ。」(つまり踏み付けにされてるのさ)
