According to the Spanish State Ballet (CND), the American ballet dancer and choreographer Ray Barra died of his long-term residence in Marbella. “Today is a sad day for the CND,” said the state ballet on X.
The son of Spanish immigrants was born in San Francisco in 1930 under the bourgeois Raymond Martin Barallobre Ramirez.
After years as a solo dancer in the United States, he celebrated great success in Germany in the 1960s and had a significant share in the Stuttgart “Ballet Wunder” under the South African choreographer John Cranko.
Together with the ballerina Marcia Haydée, he created the male leading roles of Cranko’s works such as Romeo and Julia or Onegin.
