Chicago:
Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times:

"exquisitely uniform corps de ballet, ...in many ways are the true stars of this company. 

Ciaravola’s delicacy, lightness, quickness and musicality, along with the sublime beauty of her second act adagio, and Ganio’s remarkably fleet footwork and light-as-air jumps, consistently brought to mind those old prints of 19th century dancers poised between earth and air."

This one, staged by Patrice Bart and Eugene Polyakov in 1991, performed by clearly one of the best ballet troupes on the planet, is Dom Perignon, its subtle superiorities sublime. And they build magnificently: the fine Act I doesn't quite prep you for the spellbinding Act II, a singular, unforgettable rendering of the great classic this very same troupe invented.
