Artiste: Peter Martins

Le New York City Ballet est à l’affiche de la douzième édition des Etés de la Danse au Théâtre du Châtelet. Cette participation est une première attendue de longue date, alors que le festival a déjà accueilli de nombreuses compagnies américaines.

Roman Mejia and a raft of soloist debuts galvanized Peter Martins' Sleeping Beauty. An elegant production with some incidental messiness and the structural liability of a princess' dependence on a kiss.

New York City Ballet offered a few exhilarating moments in a mishmash of a program from the company with arguably the greatest rep in the world.  

Peter Martins' Swan Lake continues to divide ballet fans. Can Sara Mearns unite them, 19 years after her astonishing debut as Odette-Odile? 

One minor Balanchine, elevated by commanding performances; a rare Albert Evans; Peter Martins at his most compelling and Jerome Robbins at his funniest.

If the famous fairy variations in the Prologue can sometimes expose weaknesses, NYCB proved that it excels in pure classical ballet and not only in the neo-classical repertory.
