dirac Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Mikko Nissinen talks about Boston Ballet's new season. Quote DREAMstate, March 17-27 If you’re looking for a wide range of sounds and styles, check out this program. From 20th century titan George Balanchine, “Chaconne” features 27 dancers moving to a selection from the 1762 opera “Orfeo ed Euridice.” Stephen Galloway, who has worked with the Rolling Stones, Vogue magazine and the American Ballet Theater, reveals the premiere of “DEVIL’S/eye.” Jiri Kylian’s “Bella Figura” rounds out the evening. “I call this one, ‘fasten your seatbelt,’” Nissinen said with a laugh. “We go from the Rolling Stones to ‘Bella Figura,’ which is probably the most beautiful piece of art that I’ve ever seen.” Link to comment

She progressed to the renowned New York City Ballet and is now a soloist and star. Swan Dive is a coming-of-age memoir and a shocking, often disgusting – and, frankly, riveting – tell-all about the reality of the ballet world. Link to comment
