dirac Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 A review of Northern Ballet by Lyndsey Winship in The Observer. Quote Northern Ballet’s production has come back to life itself, after Lez Brotherston’s sets and costumes were destroyed by floods. It was devised in 1991 by Christopher Gable with Italian choreographer Massimo Moricone, who provides lyrical, lilting pas de deux for the lovers and hard-edged formations for the Capulets. Juliet’s clan are very much painted as the baddies in this production, with cold hearts and studded black leather. The famous Dance of the Knights at the ball is less welcoming party, more a warning.
