Performer: Andrii Ishchuk

ABT's Swan Lake suffered due an obvious lack of rapport between its lead dancers but there was still some fine dancing on offer.

Magnificent leading dancers elevated the performance, but nothing can detract from the fact Kevin McKenzie's Swan Lake is looking tired.

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.
