Of myth and music: American Ballet Theatre’s Sylvia
American Ballet Theatre brings back the Ashton classic Sylvia and offers tremendous central performances.
ABT's Theme and Variations delivers star quality performances
American Ballet Theatre presented a well balanced program of Nuñes, Ratmansky and Balanchine which produced some revelatory performances.
ABT: Ashton's Sylvia showcases the entire company
The audience walked out of the theater feeling airborne and filled with the kind of joy you only feel after a truly special performance. Sylvia is an absolute treasure.
American Ballet Theatre: a lack of chemistry sinks Swan Lake
ABT's Swan Lake suffered due an obvious lack of rapport between its lead dancers but there was still some fine dancing on offer.
American Ballet Theatre: Kyle Abraham's Mercurial Son disappoints
Bond’s La Boutique was delightful, Abraham’s Mercurial Son, a little disappointing but Lander's Études sent the audience home happy.
ABT's Romeo and Juliet succeeds with strong dance actors
I have a theory that Kenneth MacMillan’s Romeo and Juliet is a perfect starter ballet. It is harder for experienced ballet regulars to work up the same enthusiasm for this ballet.
