dirac Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 A review of American Ballet Theatre by Ivy Lin for Bachtrack. Quote Chloe Misseldine was the Odette/Odile that everyone wanted to see. She had made her debut at Kennedy Center a few months prior, but this was her New York debut. From the moment Odette ran onstage with her big grande jeté, Misseldine looked like one of ballet’s blessed swans. She has a long neck, even longer arms, beautifully tapered legs and exquisitely arched feet. Gia Kourlas reviews ABT for The New York Times. Quote More than that, the moment was necessary. Both the performance and surprise promotion gave a needed jolt to Ballet Theater’s summer season, a sleepy one so far that has included the company premiere of Wayne McGregor’s ponderous three-act “Woolf Works,” and more traditional repertoire: “Onegin” (with its melodrama and big lift energy) and “Swan Lake” (from 2000 and in need of an overhaul).
