The King and Queen attended a performance of Carlos Acosta’s ‘Don Quixote’ by the Royal Ballet at the Royal Opera House this evening.

A review of Boston Ballet by Leigh Witchel for dancelog.nyc.

Quote

Boston Ballet mounted its “Fall Experience,” an evening of contemporary works the oldest of which just passed its 40th birthday, and two of which were homegrown. Experience counted, but not the way the title suggested. Not all that surprisingly, the more experienced the choreographer was, the stronger the work.

A review of Ballet of the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Moscow Music Theatre by Ilona Landgraf in her blog, "Landgraf on Dance."

Quote

This April, the Stanislavsky Ballet premiered a new piece by one of Russia’s up-and-coming choreographers – Konstantin Semenov, who happens to be a dancer from within their own ranks. Semenov, winner of the 2015 competition for young choreographers of the festival for contemporary dance Context. Diana Vishneva, so far mainly created dance miniatures. His recent work “Through the Looking-Glass” is his first full-fledged, seventy-minute one-acter. Still a small-scale production, it was shown on the theater’s small stage, where the audience sits in intimate proximity to the dancers.
