Werk: DGV: Danse à Grand Vitesse

Kyle Abraham's The Weathering doesn't feel particularly fresh on its premiere, but Crystal Pite's Solo Echo and Christopher Wheeldon's Danse à Grande Vitesse pep up the first triple bill of the season at Covent Garden. 

The NYCB dancers are very at-home in this idiom, and they threw themselves wholeheartedly into this ballet. It was never less than watchable, but the music cried out for more avante-garde choreography than Peck provided.

Whatever your taste in ballet, this program probably had it: Wheeldon's DGV meets Balanchine's Door and a Sigh and Raymonda Variations.
