Beautiful Decay: BalletX makes a truly profound choice

Tulsa Ballet has only toured internationally six times in their 70 year history. This year, they wrapped up in Bonn, the lucky city to host From Ballet to Broadway.

Once again, kudos to Adam Sklute and Ballet West for putting on a program of mostly new or recent works created for the company.

Pennsylvania Ballet looked very good in this opening show, their first in New York since Angel Corella took over as Artistic Director

Ballet West provided a rare treat by programming all recent and new works by Matthew Neenan, Nicolo Fonte, Helen Pickett and Val Caniparoli in the company's New York engagement.

In this world-premiere work, which opens Opera Philadelphia's Festival O23, composer Rene Orth and librettist Hannah Moscovitch dramatize and deconstruct the true story of Nellie Bly's commitment to a mental asylum.

Director and star Johnathan McCullough gives a riveting performance as a young man scarred by his experiences on the battlefield.
