Praise for Vienna Ballet

Last minute changes in lineup at the Vienna Ballet didn’t detract from a strong premiere on 20 February at the Wiener Staatsoper.

Four contemporary viewpoints from different choreographers comprise Dance Perspectives (Tanzperspektiven). Understudy and newcomer Natascha Mair (18), performing in David Dawson’s A Million Kisses to My Skin, especially garnered praise, as did male star Kirill Kourlaev. Strong performances, new choreography and vivid staging and design give a positive outlook for the Vienna Ballet.
