Artiste: Thomas Forster

I have a theory that Kenneth MacMillan’s Romeo and Juliet is a perfect starter ballet. It is harder for experienced ballet regulars to work up the same enthusiasm for this ballet. 

Two very promising debuts in the lead roles and good performances in the supporting roles, made this an enjoyable Onegin.

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