PREVIEWS & REVIEWS
Read the full review by Catherine Thomas, Special to The Oregonian
“[T]he dance contains abundant evidence of the company's consistently high levels of artistry and professionalism under Stowell's tenure.” - Catherine Thomas, The Oregonian
“…filled with bravura performances of Balanchine's intricate choreography.” - Catherine Thomas, The Oregonian
“Standouts were Javier Ubell in astonishingly high jumps culminating in mid-air splits, Chauncey Parsons in tricky turns and hula hoop acrobatics, and Julia Rowe's musicality and lightness in her role as Dewdrop, the ballet's most formidable, surrounded by a majestic corps of Flowers.” - Catherine Thomas, The Oregonian
“Most magical were Yuka Iino and Brian Simcoe as The Sugarplum Fairy and Her Cavalier in a Grand Pas de Deux.”- Catherine Thomas, The Oregonian
