Daily papers weigh in on Kirov Ballet

Boston's daily papers joined us for opening night of The Kirov Ballet and Orchestra.



Karen Campbell reviewed for The Boston Globe:



"The most surprising thrill is the corps. For the most part, they display not only impressive technical facility, but expressive unanimity and stylistic cohesion. They seem to breathe as one, dancing as if the music is in their bones."



Read Stripped of tragedy, Kirov's 'Swan Lake' still dazzles.



The Boston Herald's Ted Medrek reviewed for The Herald:



"Let there be no doubts: The dancing on Thursday was sublime at every level. The
11th Swan on the left, for instance, danced with the same extraordinary
suppleness and dazzlingly complete technical freedom as the stars - on opening
night, Igor Zelensky as Prince Siegfried (the not-too-bright fellow who betrays
his beloved Swan Queen, Odette, with her evil twin, Odile) and Uliana Lopatkina
in the dual Odette/Odile role."



Read Kirov turns in a beautiful ‘Swan.’
