Current press reviews for "Visionary Dances"

Ballet |

The acclaimed premiere of the Vienna State Ballet under the direction of Alessandra Ferri.

Visionary Dances is an evening of ballet that pushes the boundaries of classical dance while respecting its roots. Three important contemporary choreographers - Justin Peck, Wayne McGregor and Twyla Tharp - each explore the traditional ballet vocabulary in their own unique way and use it to develop new, contemporary forms of expression. The result is an exciting dialog between tradition and innovation, between structure and freedom, between technique and emotion.

"What a tingle in the neck! Under Alessandra Ferri's direction, the ballet ensemble of the Vienna State Opera triumphs with works by Justin Peck, Wayne McGregor and Twyla Tharp: visionary dances indeed."

"Visionary Dances by the Vienna State Ballet at the State Opera is an outstanding ballet evening, excellently danced and musically excellent"

"Tender and touching..."

 

"They deal with the classical ballet vocabulary in innovative ways that are unique to each choreographer and seek to develop it further."

"It's a celebration of Anglo-American choreography"
