Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Gillian Murphy

The Dream is such a crowdpleaser that one wishes ABT would do this more often in their Met season, but Ballet Imperial needed more time to relax into. 

It's got a lot of appeal, with a diverse range of choreography, and offering audiences the chance to see excellent dancing and even some partnerships forming from different companies.

Heated Passions abound in ABT's Romeo and Juliet. 

The moment a mouse peeked out of a stewpot in the kitchen of the Stahlbaum’s kitchen, I knew that the current American Ballet Theatre version of The Nutcracker would keep me engaged all evening.

ABT has always been a place where stars shine brightest and this night had a whole constellation of them.

Alexei Ratmansky's The Nutcracker for American Ballet Theatre is probably the best one since it was first created. Gillian Murphy and James Whiteside danced with poignant grace and radiant musicality that thrilled the audience.

Change is in the air at Ballet San Jose, and Saturday night’s star-studded gala to welcome new artistic director José Manuel Carreño proved this in a big way.

American Ballet Theater’s La Bayadère transports viewers to another world, not just back in time, but to a place that rarely exists outside one’s own imagination. This fantastic, limitless quality characterizes La Bayadère, from the sets to the costumes, the music, and of course the dancing.This three-act ballet is a classic love story of star-crossed lovers destined to break the audience’s heart.
