Artiste: Jonathan McPhee

Boston Ballet ends its 2014-2015 season with Thrill of Contact, a truly thrilling program of four works that showcase a wide spectrum of styles.

Based on Alexandre Dumas' La Dame aux Camélias the tragic love story that inspired Verdi's  La Traviata, Ashton Marguerite and Armand ballet for the Royal Ballet, as well as the 2001 film Moulin Rouge, Val Caniparoli's Lady of the Camellias, danced here by Boston Ballet is a beautifully orchestrated, and heartbreaking production.

Mikko Nissinen's new production of Swan Lake for Boston Ballet is a victory, both in showcasing the company’s pool of talent and in rising to modern audience desires to be awed by the sublime.
