Obituary: Miss Lillian Covillo, co-founder of Colorado Ballet

Colorado Ballet announces the death of Miss Lillian Covillo. Together, with lifelong friend and business partner Freidann Parker, Miss Covillo co-founded one of Denver’s oldest and most established arts organizations, Colorado Ballet. She died peacefully at the age 89. 
 
A Denver native, Miss Covillo devoted her life to that art she loved and poured her soul into enriching the Denver’s arts scene. If not for the dedication, courage and vision of Miss Covillo, Colorado Ballet would not be in existence today, and Denver’s rich cultural tapestry would be far less opulent.

As stated by Colorado Senator Michael Bennet in honor of Colorado Ballet’s 50th anniversary, “In the imagination of lifelong friends Freidann Parker and Lillian Covillo, a place of learning, artistry and expertise was born: Colorado Ballet.”

Ballet with a belly


I’m not the biggest ballet fan (okay, I’m not really a ballet fan at all – except I kinda like the tights), and I’m not sure whether or not I’ll be lured to attend by this guy in a tutu with a wreath in his hair, but ya gotta admire Colorado Ballet for thinking outside the box.

They’re trying to get more average guys to take a chance on the dance, and they’re doing it with their new “mascot,” Ballet Bob.

All I can say is look out, Bob. They’re still using that trans-panic defense in Greeley.
