My group of dancers absolutely loved the emotion in Act 1 and were awed at Act 2 leads. Amazing.
This... this is not professional ballet, and I wish it was known who these people are. This is not "Giselle"choreography, and I'm not sure why we were forced to watch this pantomime of poorly trained young people on stage.
Wonderful performance by the Grand Kyiv Ballet. Well worth seeing.
We really enjoyed the performance of the Grand Kyiv Ballet. Wonderful dancing and music. Wish there had been programs but happy to pervade support for this troupe in the United States tour and delighted with the venue. From out of town but it was great fun exploring some of the shops around the Pantages Theatre too. Would see it again...
Seemed a bit amateur. The 2nd act was better but still not the level of expertise I was expecting.
The ballet was wonderful. The ticket purchase and use experience was easy and parking was excellent. The ballet itself was exquisite and the seats were spectacular.
Kukhar and Stoyanov were announced in the leading roles, due to Alexander’s injury they were replaced with other actors, which was announced after the performance on the ballet’s Instagram page. The couple appeared occasionally for a short time in the first part: Catherine in heels in the role of a coach for the project “Dancing with the Stars.”
Very talented dancers, beautiful music, rich colors. Wonderful experience!
Dancers were beautiful of course but a little more needed to me done to communicate that Giselle's beloved was intended for someone else. I am not sure audience understood the betrayal which is key to the story. Second half - while dancers exquisite - i don't think the costumes conveyed that these women were furious ghosts dancing men to their destruction. I'd like to point out that the Woodman (male dancer in the green costume) did the most outstanding job of conveying his part of the story and dancing beautifully.
A WONDERFUL ballet and just in time for the Christmas Season! Beautiful costumes, scenery, and world-class dancing! The only improvement would have been a live orchestra.
