Swan Lake Minneapolis Theatre reviews
Russian Grand Ballet Presents: Swan Lake
The Russian Grand Ballet Company of Swan Lake was very good. I have seen several renditions of this ballet by different dance companies. This rendition was good by the book. I noticed the pax de deux of Odelle and the Prince was cut short when she finished her 32 fuettes. Usually the pas de deux continues continues on and they both finish the pas de deux. The Russian dancers do display the artistry and the technique that is unique compared to the American counterparts. I am not comparing the two just enjoyed the whole ballet. I loved it. I wish there were there more than 1 day. I would see it again.
Girls Night
My only complaint is that both parking garages were full and we had to park almost a mile away. Other than that, it was a great evening!
The venue was near some great restaurants so we had a fabulous dinner within walking distance. I was nervous about the venue, because the Cellular Center is known for Sporting events. The main section was having a heavy metal concert. We remarked at how diverse the people were from Metal to Ballet all going in the doors. However, they were in a different section. Our section was nice and more like a theater. We were amazed that we could not hear the concert at all.
The Russian Ballet Company was superb! The set, the costumes, the talent--perfect! We were so pleased with them, that we rather enjoyed our long walk to the car.
