If you’re in need of some joy and exhilaration, the São Paulo Dance Company offers the perfect solution at Sadler's Wells. 

A shimmering smorgasbord of some of today’s most exciting international dancers, who performed pristine works by Petipa.

Organised by Berlin State Ballet audience’s darling, the principal dancer Polina Semionova, the gala Polina & Friends and its stellar cast literally left the house roaring from enthusiasm.

Duato | Shechter by the Staatsballett Berlin at the Komische Oper is a classic yet sleekly contemporary programme.

The program that the Hong Kong Ballet presented at the Joyce Theater showed a company that is disciplined and technically accomplished.

In the relaxed time between Christmas and the New Year celebrations the Staatsballet Berlin brilliantly performs a the Duato | Kylián programme.

As the audience, our relationship with Körbes and Gaines as PNB dancers has ended, but the future holds new beginnings.

Mikhailovsky Ballet's mixed program at Lincoln Center had something for everyone: an old classic, a showpiece, and a contemporary Nacho Duato work.

Nacho Duato’s baffling and beautiful Por Vos Muero, little known in the United States, kicked off Oregon Ballet Theatre’s first season under its new artistic director, Kevin Irving. The piece, originally set on Duato’s Compañia Nacional de Danza in 1996, makes a deep visual and emotional impression, a shining rebuttal to all the tedious, empty acrobatics of much contemporary dance.

The short but intense visit the Mikhailovsky Ballet is paying to London this Easter is showing the high standards the company can reach in both classical and contemporary ballet. In addition to splendid versions of Giselle, Don Quixote and Laurencia, the St Petersburg-based ballet company has also offered two bills with works by its acclaimed artistic director Nacho Duato.

The Kings of the Dance program offers audiences a unique experience: a chance to see the top men in ballet letting it all out on one stage. This year, Opus 3 maintained the program’s reputation at New York City Center.

Por vos muero tiene más de veinte años, pero no ha envejecido porque lo bueno nunca sufre los avatares del tiempo.

... el programa cierra en un punto alto, público y crítica abandonan la sala complacidos, reconciliados.

... con Carabosse, Duato intenta un giro en su creación, colorea los tonos pálidos e intenta renovar y renovarse
