The Silver Rose (1.5/5)
The Australian Ballet
Opera Theatre, Sydney Opera House
24th April 2010
(Choreography: Graeme Murphy. Marschallin: Rachel Rawlins, Octavian: Daniel Gaudiello, Baron Ochs: Robert Curran Sophie: Leanne Stojmenov)
Uninspiring choreography, limited characterisation, a score without a theme - a low point for TAB and Graeme Murphy. A flirtatious story offers plenty of scope for passionate dance, a variety of characters and delicious music. Instead the choreograph lacks flair and challenge, the dancers scratch the surface of their roles with only cheap laughs to play for and the music is just dull. One to miss.
