  1. I also attended the matinee performance on Sunday. Tiler Peck was the star of the afternoon. Her technical ability and expression in this ballet are matched by hardly anyone currently performing the role. I'd also like to add that the piano solo in the middle was played beautifully and poignantly which I felt that Tiler matched completely. Truly a spectacular performance. The 4t's was also performed very well, highlights being the 3rd theme, and Teresa Reichlen in Choleric. She was able to occupy so much space and has such fantastic range of motion that it is so exciting to see the crisp and sharp lines of her beautiful legs attack the space. Sara Means on the other hand seemed to be having an off night and she let it show. She hardly kept her eyes off the floor and seemed defeated and not totally present. To me Symphony in C is the perfect way to end any ballet program and I never could get tired of watching it. Megan was charming and secure, and though Chase is beautiful, and benefits from having perfect proportions and great presence, he can't quite meet the technical challenges of the first movement right now. He's been plagued with injuries the past and though its nice to see him finally back on stage, their is a clear diminishment in his technical ability now, than from when he was first promoted to principal. Maria Kowroski was in perfect form, and had such a special quality to her dancing. She moved so seamlessly and was so invested in the movement that I found it near impossible to take my eyes off of her, and the connection she had with her partner Tyler was palpable. I was excited to see Alston for the first time in a Principal role and she delivered on all accounts. All she needs now is time to continue growing and I think we'll have a very special artist on our hands. Her partner Harrison was also delightful to watch and has shown a lot of growth since first joining the company. All in all it was a very special performance, and one I was very glad to have not missed.

    Hello

    Hello Everybody, Ive been using this website for years and am now finally deciding to be apart of its community. I recently moved, but during the holidays, and the summer I always come back home to NYC and try to catch as many performances from ABT, and NYCB as I can. I've so enjoyed reading everyones reviews of the ballet season when I'm not currently in NYC, and I hope that by the time I go back, I'll be able to contribute my own thoughts to the discussions on the boards as well
