dirac Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 A review of Birmingham Royal Ballet in "Don Quixote" by Joy Sable in The Jewish Chronicle. Quote On opening night Momoko Hirata was a fine Kitri, light and precise (she is tiny, so must be a joy to partner) with secure balances and lovely port de bras. She brings a real sense of mischief and fun to the role. Her Basilio was the wonderful Mathias Dingman, who oozes masculinity and has a fine stage presence. He was almost outdanced by Brandon Lawrence as the lead matador, who performed all his solos with a sure technique along with supreme self-mocking arrogance. Link to comment

Quote “I really wanted to do this piece as a little bit of an homage to the spirit of survival,” said the writer, Karla Estela Rivera, who teamed up with illustrator Elisa Chavarri and choreographer Amy Hall Garner for the project. “I thought about my own experience and the joy that I have of living here. We are in times that, for migrant and immigrant families and children, there are a lot of challenges that those communities face. But there’s also a lot of joy.” Link to comment
