Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Christine Shevchenko

Twyla@60: A Tharp Celebration is an overall triumph though not just for Tharp, but for Susan Jaffe’s vision for American Ballet Theatre.

Great novels make bad ballets. There might be exceptions to this rule, but this isn't it. 

A strong opening to ABT’s fall season, the company often seemed stagnant in the last years of Kevin McKenzie’s directorship. It is now more exciting. New leadership, new faces.

Wheeldon lacks the imagination to take this story beyond that of a well-crafted adaptation of a beloved movie.

A new-old interpretation of Giselle choreographed by Alexei Ratmansky heralds the birth of a new company drawn from ballet dancers from war-torn Ukraine. 

Alexei Ratmansky's Ancient Greek take on Bolshoi-style dram-ballets gets its New York premiere as part of American Ballet Theatre's summer season at the Met.

Ivan Putrov, who has enjoyed a long career based in London, brings dancers from his homeland for a special London gala. 

Kevin McKenzie's production of Swan Lake at ABT usually has little to commend it, but Christine Shevchenko's Odette/Odile is the real deal. 

As the wonderful Tharp trio program proves, all these years later Twyla Tharp can still make ballet look cool.

The Seasons is overstuffed, uneven and way too busy. There are so many steps, but they rarely made me "see the music". It was a frustrating ballet, with so many lovely moments that were less than the sum of its parts.

ABT has always been a place where stars shine brightest and this night had a whole constellation of them.
