Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Concerto DSCH

A longtime NYCB fan favorite, Concerto DSCH  by Alexei Ratmansky, meets the New York premiere of Christopher Wheeldon's Continuum. But the evening belonged to corps dancer Ruby Lister in Edwaard Liang’s Distant Cries.

 It was a remarkable performance and (unusual for Monumentum pro Gesualdo and Movements for Piano and Orchestra) led to a loud, prolonged ovation at the curtain call.

Concerto DSCH received a raucous reception during curtain calls. It’s a classic closer for an evening in that it sends everyone home happy. It doesn’t below as the middle ballet. Programming gods at NYCB, are you listening?

These all-Ratmansky programs are a clear indication that ABT made the right move when they took him on as their resident choreographer.

Ratmansky's Concerto DSCH proves the perfect show opener, before the Mariinsky Ballet reclaims Sasha Waltz's Sacre.

PNB presents Ratmansky's Concerto DSCH together with Kent Stowell's Carmina Burana in their final program of the season.

Alexei Ratmanksy's Concerto DSCH is the highlight of a meaty programme, also featuring Fokine's 1910 Firebird and Ashton's Marguerite and Armand

American Ballet Theatre’s second program of their tour is the All Star Gala, not just a star-studded pas de deux evening but with two brilliant works, Balanchine's Theme and Variations and Ratmansky's Piano Concerto no. 1.

Tres coreografías de registros estilísticos homogéneos, pero capaces de reservar sorpresas gracias a las cualidades y el buen quehacer de la Compañía Nacional de Danza.
