Spectacular! Breathtaking! A style of dance not seen by any other ballet company performing today. Ballet Nacional de Cuba is a welcome execution of ballet from another era. I attended performances in Orange County and in Los Angeles. A memorable experience.

Wonderful production, staging, and casting. A memorable event for my daughter and I, especially the second act. Seats were decent and what I expected. Having tickets in hand as opposed to will call got us to our seats just in the nick of time.Be sure and eat BEFORE unless you want to spend $26 for two soft drinks, 3 oz. of nuts, a brownie, and 4 cookies! YES....$26! Easy to park across the street for $9. Can't wait for our second ballet on July 15th.

Over all the show was ok. The dancing was good. Some of the dancers were strong, but not very impressive. Don Quijote as a character was not interesting and it would have been great to see this character in a stronger lead role with more dancing. Choreography was ok. The seats were great. If you ever had the chance to see Eifman Ballet perform Don Quijote, you would understand why Ballet Nacional de Cuba's staging is average.

Quotes & Highlights

Description

Combining classical romanticism with a Latin boldness, Ballet Nacional de Cuba is one of the most prestigious ballet companies performing today. The company will present the classic Don Quixote featuring the fearless strength of its dancers and Alicia Alonso's inventive choreography accompanied by the LA Opera Orchestra. Rarely touring in the U.S., this Music Center debut is an event that can't be missed.

A mainstay in the Music Center's dance series, American Ballet Theatre returns with the company's West Coast premiere of Alexei Ratmansky's The Bright Stream, set to a witty score by Dmitri Shostakovich. Winner of the Critics' Circle National Dance Award, the brilliant choreography of this delightful ballet is full of fun, misplaced flirtations, and a slew of disguises. Paired with ABT's technical precision and undeniable grace, The Bright Stream will leave audiences joyful and invigorated.
