Mixed feelings form the Mariinsky Ballet's first performance of Raymonda in Washington. A shortfall in story-telling and emotional communication despite the polished dancing. 

The Mariinsky dances Swan Lake beautifully, but the drama lacks characterisation. Performed at the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, in Japan.

The Mariinsky Theatre's Swan Lake is both entertaining and refreshing to watch . Reviewed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York.
