Boston-Ballet

Dance Review: At the Boston Ballet — Ballet as Drama

Like a lot of first efforts by prospective masters, Artifact is loaded with ideas.

Dance Review: The Sugar Rush of Boston Ballet’s “Nutcracker’

Never mind my analytical observations, the Boston Ballet’s Nutcracker is still an immediate pleasure.

By: Arts Fuse Editor Filed Under: Dance, Featured, Review Tagged: Boston-Ballet, Marcia B. Siegel, The Nutcracker

Dance Review: Trophy Games at the Boston Ballet

You’re not supposed to look for deep meaning in this often-revised jumbo of a ballet.

Fuse Dance Review: Four Flavors — “Mirrors” at Boston Ballet

What interested me about Bitches Brew was the chance to discover how choreographer Karole Armitage re-rigs classical ballet steps.

Dance Review: Swans’ Return at Boston Ballet

Even the hippest of us can succumb to a deep longing for harmony, lush orchestration, and magic.

Dance Review: Style Survey — “Kaleidoscope” at Boston Ballet

I’d seen all of these works on the Boston Ballet’s program once or twice in the past. They all seemed to improve with these additional viewings.

Dance Review: Russian Romantics — John Cranko’s “Onegin” at Boston Ballet

The rapturous reaction to Boston Ballet’s performance on Sunday afternoon demonstrated that this kind of work can still move an audience.

By: Marcia B Siegel Filed Under: Dance, Featured, Review Tagged: Boston-Ballet, John Cranko, Marcia B. Siegel, Onegin

Fuse Dance Review: Boston Ballet—Mahler Multiplex

My overall impression of the ballet was of earnest pretension.

By: Arts Fuse Editor Filed Under: Dance, Featured, Review Tagged: Boston-Ballet, John Neumeier, Marcia B. Siegel, Third Symphony of Gustav Mahler: A Ballet by John Neumeier

Dance Review: Choreographer Leonid Yakobson — Soviet Rebel Under Cover

Boston Ballet’s reconstructed versions of Yakobson’s Pas de Quatre and four Choreographic Miniatures were a revelation.
