Artiste: Ted Brandsen

Dutch National Ballet returning to New York after more than 40 years should have been thrilling. The opening program, whilst beautifully danced, was somewhat muted.

A rich mix of pure dance and powerful music shows the company in very fine form towards the end of a demanding season.

Ted Brandsens Choreographie geht dank der Entmystifizierung dieser tragischen Galionsfigur unter die Haut.
