Performer: Wubkje Kuindersma

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.

Visually pleasing, superbly danced and musically rousing, yet Luna doesn’t quite reach the pinnacle. 

Salvatore Viganò's choreography for Beethoven's 1801 ballet Prometheus has not survived, but a trio of creators put their own stamp on the score in Amsterdam.

A complete roster of principal dancers appear in a gala full of the joys of spring. 

What the young dancers lack in finesse they make up in boisterousness. Sidorova's dance vocabulary seems endless. Kuindersma's Mesmer radiates into the theatre.

Ballet and pop music meet in a new work by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa and other exciting collaborations by Ernst Meisner, Hans van Manen and Wubkje Kuindersma

A raft of new full-length narrative ballets is set to premiere in the 2024–25 season: we preview some of the most significant.
