Looks good, can hardly wait. (Eventually there should be a link to much longer press announcment on BB's site, and probably will be mentioned in tomorrow's Globe and/or Herald.)

I saw Rudi Van Dantzig's "Romeo and Juliet" a few seasons ago, danced by the Ballet de Marseille. It is a traditional version. I found it interesting, but my opinion might be a bit biased because I don't like much "Romeo and Juliet" in general (especially the score), and also the men behind me were some of the worst-behaved ballet audience I've ever seen, so it wasted much of the performance for me...

I'm from Canada, and I've seen the Alberta Ballet during the time that Mr. Nissinen was artistic director. WOW! I saw a world premiere of one of Jorma Elo's pieces, and it was so good. He has a very distinct style. I saw a piece called L'Apres-Midi d'un faune/Le spectre de la rose. The first thing you noticed was the lighting. The wings were pulled up, and you could actually see the bars and towers of lights. It was a modern piece, and was one of the best and most memorable pieces I've ever seen. Boy is Boston in for a treat!
