I've been going to Smuin Ballet for many years now, and this was one of the best performances in some time. Both Momentum and Requiem were incredible. Momentum was new and original for Smuin guest choreography while sticking to the spirit of the company's blend of modern and classic. Requiem truly touched one's heart in matching the beauty of the music with movement. The Beatles was a fun ending, but had some hits and misses.Written on May 17 2011

Requim was exquisite & brought tears... incredibly intimate and beautiful. Appreciated the light ending with the tribute to the beatles. It was an older crowd, the double dating seniors behind me kept gasping at the moves and needed a few "shush"-ings.Written on May 09 2011
