dirac Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 A review of American Ballet Theatre by Ivy Lin for Bachtrack. Quote Trenary was a sweet, flirtatious Titania. One small quibble: she didn't make the little shimmies and fairy-like arm waves look natural. It was a promising debut, but there’s still work to be done. Camargo was more the finished product, exuding haughty imperiousness. The role has Anthony Dowell’s DNA all over it – those extended, held arabesques and tricky chainé turns were a Dowell specialty – and Camargo acquitted himself well. The pas between Trenary and Camargo was blissful, and the tricky partnering (at several points, Oberon has to rotate Titania while she is in arabesque penchée) looked seamless. Link to comment

Quote Whiteside, 38, has been dealing with tendon pain in both knees since he was a teenager, but during the 2021 fall season leading up to “The Nutcracker” performances at Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Orange County, Calif., the pain had become severe. He couldn’t sit down for more than five minutes without having to stand up and stretch. He couldn’t sleep. Link to comment
