Principal dancer Jo Yeon-jae has been cast as the lead role in John Neumeier's ballet 'The Lady of the Camellias,' to be performed by the Korean National Ballet in May. Known for her expressive talent and dedication, she was previously praised for her role in last year's production of 'The Little Mermaid,' a modern ballet also choreographed by Neumeier. Jo, who rose from the lowest rank in the ballet company in seven years, finds drama ballet particularly fascinating as it emphasizes emotional expression through dance. Her rapid learning ability and consistent diligence have been highlighted as her strengths. Jo shares her enthusiasm for future roles in other narrative ballets like 'Romeo and Juliet' and 'Manon.'
