Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Joseph Walsh

The ballet culminates with fouettés, bravura leaps from the oversized ensemble and a rousing finish with all 44 dancers onstage. It was an exuberant end to an intelligent, satisfying production, both of thought and movement.

Wheeldon’s Cinderella infuses elegance with the weird and wonderful

Von Terez Rose, 28. April 2017
