dirac Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 The National Ballet of Japan brings back Peter Darrell's Tales of Hoffmann. Quote Last performed here in 2018, this revival emphasised the progress the company has made in terms of both acting and dancing. The dancers in most of the main characters had portrayed their roles during the previous runs, but the ballet looked more attractive and enjoyable than the last time. Link to comment
dirac Posted March 3 Author Share Posted March 3 A review of San Francisco Ballet by Charles Lewis III for 48hills. Quote Yet, this story flies or falls on the strength of its two romantic leads. Robison is a fine Siegfried, but the opening night show belonged to Nikisha Fogo as Odette and (another swan) Odile. She stepped into a roles memorably performed by such grand talents as the recently-departed Yuan Yuan Tan. By seeming to perform every toe-step with the greatest of ease, she almost single-handedly proves why this show has been performed so frequently in recent years: so that a new generation of dancers could inherit the masterpiece they themselves have grown up watching.

dirac Posted March 3 Author Share Posted March 3 A review of New York City Ballet by Leigh Witchel for dancelog.nyc. Quote The company gave its all to Times in a way they hadn’t in anything up to that point in the season, and its performances were emotional, moving events. But even if the ballet is now seven years old, it doesn’t yet feel like someone else’s clothing. Link to comment
