Jerome Robbins - a celebration (2.0/5)

Australian Ballet
Opera Theatre, Sydney Opera House.

17^th May 2008

(The Cage, Afternoon of a Faun, Suite of Dances)

A somewhat dated program that never quite took off – sometimes nostalgia is best left to the heart. Of the three pieces only “Afternoon of a Faun” combined music and movement in a meaningful way. Paired with Swan Lake for Sydney’s autumn season, the AB seems to be a little off song at the moment.
