Venue: Lincoln Center, New York City

The Metropolitan Opera revives Otto Schenk’s venerable staging of Strauss’s intimate melodrama. 

From disturbing to daffy: a searing indictment and a gentle parody, both from Paul Taylor, at Lincoln Center in New York, as his company continues to pack houses in its fall season.

Company B and Esplanade bookended a popular mixed bill from Paul Taylor Dance Company in the first week of their ambitious fall season at New York's Lincoln Center.  

American Ballet Theatre presented a well balanced program of Nuñes, Ratmansky and Balanchine which produced some revelatory performances.

ABT offer some outstanding performances in a classical quadruple bill but there was a lack of confidence and uniformity within the corps de ballet. 

An uplifting triple bill by American Ballet Theatre with three contrasting ballets. Especially entertaining were Tudor's Gala Performance and Agnes de Mille's Rodeo.

Twyla@60: A Tharp Celebration is an overall triumph though not just for Tharp, but for Susan Jaffe’s vision for American Ballet Theatre.

Some excellent individual performances but a disappointing program for Contemporary Choreography I with New York City Ballet.
