  This is a stellar (x5!) program, which I found mesmerizing throughout. One need not know the storyline to fully appreciate the passion, grace and skill of these polished dancers. Their beauty, timing and placement were also duly noted by my mother, who, in her youth, studied with Boston's finest dance masters. Kudos to Jose Mateo for his unique choreography and staging. He simultaneously frees his dancers and connects them with the audience through artful lighting, subtle costume design, and skillful interweaving of complex music and movement. His craft, matched by their skill, render the audience, but none of the dancers, breathless (and wanting more)! Collapse

  This was a wonderful evening. Two beautiful ballets. Both very sensuous and emotional. The intimate seating which allows you to be so close to the dancers and the very simple and form-fitting costumes each served to emphasize the beautiful, natural lines of the dancers' bodies. We enjoyed this so much. The setting is also so wonderful. We enjoy the cabaret seating, listening to the piano player as you come in and during the intermissions, and being able to have a beer or wine as you sit and watch the performance. I recommend this to anyone. Collapse
