Written on Feb 03 2011Especially "The Arrival" was fresh with lots of energy and beautiful harmony between the choreography and the music+lyrics. The second ballet suite based on Ruth was not as satisfying because the wide range of music did not quite fit together as well and the plot adaptation seemed a bit awkward. However the heart of the piece shone through and the artistry and expressiveness of the dancers were inspired.
