Review of Ratmansky's Anna Karenina in the St. Petersburg Times:

"Femme fatale"

Ratmansky’s rendition of “Anna Karenina,” which saw its world premiere at the Danish Royal Ballet in Copenhagen in 2004 and has since been staged in Finland, Lithuania and Poland, presents the audience with a psychological account of the heroine’s passions. His ballet lacks nothing in depth, intensity and fervor. The production’s short, dynamically changing scenes emerge as painful memories in the mind.
