dirac Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 A review of the National Ballet of Canada by Ivy Lin for Bachtrack. Quote In the first movement, Koto Ishihara and Siphesihle November were the standouts of the evening. They were charming and effervescent. The second movement adagio, however, fell short. MacMillan has a lot of rather sculptural posing in the choreography that he said was inspired by watching the great Canadian ballerina Lynn Seymour in class. Even a cursory Youtube search of her dancing shows her incredible charisma. The dancers I saw last night (Tina Pereira and Peng-Fei Jiang) were merely “nice” and nothing more. Link to comment
