En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Herman Cornejo

Christopher Wheeldon’s The Winter’s Tale is a sumptuous looking production but on this occasion, it didn’t come to life emotionally.

Anima Animal is disappointing choreographically, but Herman Cornejo delivers a star turn.

Final verdict on Woolf Works? It’s sprawling, uneven, with parts that are thrilling and other parts that are prosaic and shallow.

Highs and lows within a glamorous mixed bag of choreography are inevitable when people are travelling from around the world.

Two world premieres and a piece created in 1975. Tharp herself came onstage to raucous applause. She might be “pop dance”, but audiences love it.

A strong opening to ABT’s fall season, the company often seemed stagnant in the last years of Kevin McKenzie’s directorship. It is now more exciting. New leadership, new faces.

Magnificent leading dancers elevated the performance, but nothing can detract from the fact Kevin McKenzie's Swan Lake is looking tired.

Wheeldon lacks the imagination to take this story beyond that of a well-crafted adaptation of a beloved movie.

American Ballet Theatre shows its range with pieces from George Balanchine, Alonzo King, and Jessica Lang, but the dancing and choreography remain uneven throughout. 

In contrast to companies like the Bolshoi, ABT’s Don Quixote comes across as sweet but slight.

It’s only her third performance of role, and her New York debut, but it was so polished that Brandt immediately jumped to our writer's personal short-list of great Giselles.

There was complete assurance in Skylar Brandt's performance and there’s no doubt that she’s a bona fide contender for a future slot as a principal dancer.

Alas, putting two stars (Kochetkova and Cornejo) together is no guarantee of success and that was certainly the case here.

American Ballet Theatre's Whipped Cream should be seen for Ryden's sets and costumes alone. A free-floating eye and a sweetshop whose ingredients come to life create a very surreal world.

Damian Woetzel puts together programs, musicians and dancers with a creative curator’s eye and gets the most out of the new combinations. This show was great.

In order to really take you somewhere a performance has to open a window to another, higher plane of existence. This is that show.

Isabella Boylston, Cassandra Trenary and Herman Cornejo are exemplary in Mark Morris's new After You, a ballet of simple grace.

Program 3 captures the multiplicity in contemporary dance.  

Roberto Bolle and Herman Cornejo bring their shared gala program, BalletNow to Los Angeles. With a cast of twenty dancers, BalletNow is an innovative split bill that features European and Latin American stars. Two works feature Bolle dancing in interactive film sequences. 

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

Ask any ballet fan about American Ballet Theatre and you can expect to hear about a long list of principal dancers and starring roles. With company members from around the world, the conversation could take place in any language and span generations.
