dirac Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 A review of San Francisco Ballet by Jim Munson for Broadway World. Quote San Francisco Ballet brings its extremely successful 2021 Digital Season to a close by revisiting that all-time classic, Swan Lake, in a production choreographed by Artistic Director Helgi Tomasson back in 2009, and captured on video in 2016. Swan Lake is a particular favorite of mine, so I was sincerely looking forward to seeing it again and would love to be able to report that SFB was ending their season on a high note. Alas, that isn't quite the case here. Instead, it was a little like re-encountering a long-lost friend who is going through a bit of a rough patch. It's still lovely to see them, but they do seem to be missing some of the spring in their step. Link to comment

Quote Ten years after his death, Petit is still considered an important figure in France, though his works haven’t been performed with great regularity. Link to comment
