Skylar Brandt's heart-rending Giselle a hit for ABT
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.
ABT’s Giselle shows that to forgive is divine
A classic staging at the Kennedy Center turned resplendent in the second act.
Ratmansky's Seasons the highlight of a mixed ABT program
A mixed evening at the Koch Theater, with ABT shining in Ratmansky and a new Twyla Tharp creation, but struggling in Balanchine.
Radiant cast almost awakens Ratmansky's Sleeping Beauty
If the audience response was not very enthusiastic, it's because Ratmansky's Sleeping Beauty four years after its premiere still comes across as more of a museum piece than a living, breathing ballet. This is a Beauty that never really wakes up.
Christine Shevchenko becomes ABT's reigning swan
Kevin McKenzie's production of Swan Lake at ABT usually has little to commend it, but Christine Shevchenko's Odette/Odile is the real deal.
Wildly offensive, but wildly entertaining too: ABT's Le Corsaire
Perhaps ABT's disclaimer in the program notes should have simply said: "When you watch Le Corsaire, prepare to be both offended and entertained. We hope you'll be more entertained than offended."
