Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Donizetti Variations

A slightly under par opening night at New York City Ballet but nevertheless, some strong individual performances.

At the New York City Center, where founder Arthur Mitchell became a star, Dance Theatre of Harlem delivered a diverse program of works by Balanchine, Forsythe, Garland and Jodie Gates.

In a first rate performance and just as balletomanes say goodbye to Harrison Ball, we say hello to the young talent, Domenika Afanasenkov. The cycle continues.

I must admit I like NYCB’s recent trend away from the themed programming. The combinations can seem strange, but the performances have more variety.

It's a bittersweet season, as Wendy Whelan retires in a few weeks, but New York City Ballet looks set for another golden era, with a cast of terrific dancers!
