I saw Riabko in Neumeier's Sleeping Beauty and was very impressed! Can't wait to see him in Nijinsky, as he has been getting rave reviews:
 "Throughout, Alexandre Riabko made for a fine Nijinsky Friday, tormented, driven and yet graceful in detail, including the snake-like, evocative undulation of his arm, a small gesture of a salute to a major genius." -Chicago Tribune

"an inspired performance from Alexandre Riabko" - Time Out Chicago

"The more you know about Nijinsky (a marathon performance by the mesmerizing Alexandre Riabko, full of heat, beauty, anguish and dazzling technique), the more you can appreciate this ballet" Chicago Sun-Times
