Choreolab 06: András Lukács

Choreolab 06 opened with a piece from András Lukács, who regular readers might remember from the evening of Nicht nur Mozart where he offered Tabula Rasa, a group piece with a touching duet for men…. Finally, Emma Harrington, who was one of the two leads, has such a beautiful cameo appearance that she could just come and sit for a painting and it would be a pleasure to the eyes to rest upon her timeless features.

Staatsoper: Premiere of John Cranko’s Eugene Onegin

In Act II where Onegin and Tatyana meet at a Petersburg ball and Onegin tears up Tatyana’s letter to him in front of her eyes, Sue Jin Kang again went through the motions of lovesick madness well enough – it’s a scene which reminds the viewer of Giselle’s dance of death in front of the Royal party at the end of Act I of Giselle – as she flees the ballroom…. Alas, as I noted earlier Jelinek is not at his best as the older broken Onegin – maybe in a few short years (balletic life is every so short) when he is holding onto Onegin as one of his last principal roles at the Stuttgart Ballet, he will be ready to interpret the regrets of the old roué playing his final unsuccessful card.
