Stunning debut performances from Jake Roxander and Skylar Brandt in Don Quixote for ABT, made it a night to remember.

The fiery return of Don Quixote as ABT continues their summer season has proved to be a vehicle of excellence for multiple casts, many of whom were making role debuts.

American Ballet Theatre's Onegin is deliciously dramatic and a stunning visual feast. 

A welcome return to London by Paul Taylor Dance Company after more than two decades, this triple bill was worth the wait.

A letdown and a triumph at the Paul Taylor Dance gala this week, featuring new works by Lauren Lovette and Robert Battle, both resident choreographers, she in her 4th year, he in his 2nd. 

From disturbing to daffy: a searing indictment and a gentle parody, both from Paul Taylor, at Lincoln Center in New York, as his company continues to pack houses in its fall season.

An uplifting triple bill by American Ballet Theatre with three contrasting ballets. Especially entertaining were Tudor's Gala Performance and Agnes de Mille's Rodeo.

Twyla@60: A Tharp Celebration is an overall triumph though not just for Tharp, but for Susan Jaffe’s vision for American Ballet Theatre.

National Ballet of Canada's connections to John Cranko's Onegin run deep and this revival featured beloved company farewells and exciting next generation debuts. 

In contrast to companies like the Bolshoi, ABT’s Don Quixote comes across as sweet but slight.

The Four Seasons is such a happy, appealing ballet that the audience barely notice any unsteady moments. 

As the wonderful Tharp trio program proves, all these years later Twyla Tharp can still make ballet look cool.

The role of Luisa, some of the daintier coloratura aside, fits Sonya Yoncheva like a glove. 

Alas, putting two stars (Kochetkova and Cornejo) together is no guarantee of success and that was certainly the case here.

The Met revived Jurgen Flimm's modern production of Salome, with Patricia Racette making a successfu last minute role debut in the title role.

The San Francisco Ballet's 2016 season culminates in a dazzling, masterful rendition of John Cranko's Onegin, bringing passion, fury and drama to the War Memorial Opera House stage.

Zeffirelli excess and Woody Allen wit: Los Angeles Opera's season opens with a double bill of Puccini's Gianni Schicchi and Leoncavallo's Pagliacci.
