Performer: Jerome Robbins

Von Brahms und Balanchine bis Górecki und Childs: das Wiener Staatsballet zeigt einen zeitlosen Abend.

Never has Justin Peck seemed more compositionally assured, and paradoxically freer, than in his latest ballet, breaking the mold of past work that mostly celebrated the camaraderie of his generation. 

Dutch National Ballet returning to New York after more than 40 years should have been thrilling. The opening program, whilst beautifully danced, was somewhat muted.

Different music, different moods, different choreographers, but both quintessentially American. We compare and contrast two dance works which bring out the American dream of community, happiness and freedom.
