| 16-May-2013 Boston Opera House | Boston Ballet's Coppélia delights, but gives few chances for stars to shine |
 Beautifully imagined, Boston Ballet’s Coppélia delights with its charming sets, colorful costumes and charismatic leads. A storybook come to life, this ballet tells the fanciful tale of young love gone awry amidst a set of peculiar circumstances true to fairytale form. Coppélia, one of the great comedic ballets of the 19th century, requires suspense of realism on the part of the viewer (as most story ballets do), but once ensnared by its spell, this ballet had me grinning with amusement through to the final curtain.

There, in St Petersburg, the couple quickly made their mark, dancing continuously both classical ballets and body-slicing contemporary works.Read full review... | |
| 9-Jan-2013 The London Coliseum | The Sleeping Beauty with English National Ballet |
 At the opening night of Kenneth MacMillan’s production of The Sleeping Beauty in London, all eyes were on English National Ballet’s new artistic director, up on stage – rather than in the audience. Would she still be able to hold her balances on pointe now that she is also required to balance the office books?
