Eminent dance critic Iris Fanger reviewed Thursday night's Swan Lake by The Kirov Ballet for The Patriot Ledger. Here is a sample:
"Despite the prominence of Odette the Swan Queen, performed last night by the
company’s leading ballerina, Uliana Lopatkina, the soul of 'Swan Lake' belongs
to the corps de ballet of 32 swans who surround her in the second and fourth 'white' acts. Moving as a single entity, with tempos, gestures and height of
raised legs in unison, the Kirov corps seems to inhale and exhale on a single
shared breath, a marvel of grace and beauty. Their exemplary performance is
testament to the level at which the entire company is dancing."
