Artistic Director, Susan Jaffe, reviving the Kingdom of the Shades for ABT’s Fall Season was both a testament to her trust in her company, and also a test.

Just as there can never be a bad performance of Serenade, there are no bad performances of In the Upper Room. It practically dances itself.

Both In the Upper Room and Nine Sinatra Songs captivate at moments; however, they comment more on who we were than who we have become.

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

Company and World Premieres to round out KC'S ballet season

It is good to see Birmingham Royal Ballet in such fine fettle. This triple bill is well conceived and deftly performed. Not always flawless in its execution, but a five star programme nonetheless.

Moving Stateside, a Programme which combined Serenade, by George Balanchine, Lyric Piece, a Jessica Lang work and Twyla Tharp's In The Upper Room, were gems from America that travelled across the Atlantic to be set on the ever evolving, risk taking, hard working Birmingham Royal Ballet.

Ballet San Jose brings its season to a strong, satisfying close, with performances of Carmen and In the Upper Room drawing praise from critics and audiences alike.
