dirac Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 A review of New York City Ballet's gala by Leigh Witchel for dancelog.nyc. Quote The dancers entered, embraced and ran away, which typified the ideas that were on the stage without being filled in. Miller knows what an NYCB unison finale looks like, and she delivered her version. She nailed the structure, but not the kinetic content; the vocabulary she used posed more than it flowed. Mearns and Stanley embraced one last time, and blackout. A lot happened, yet not much. Miller didn’t do what she does best, but she also didn’t manage to do what the company does best. We ended up with neither. Link to comment

Quote Fonteyn, who died in 1991 at the age of 71, was a prima ballerina assoluta—a now rarely used title awarded to the most renowned female ballet dancers—with the Royal Ballet during the 1950s and ’60s. It was during that time that the five-bedroom home was reportedly Fonteyn’s country retreat and it remained in her family until 1999. Link to comment
