John Cranko: Onegin
Tim Rushton: Cinderella
Royal Danish Ballet
New casts
New principal dancer American Nehemiah Kish has certainly been put to work. Following leading parts in Giselle and Cinderella he is now also cast as Onegin.
His previous roles has showed him to be a technically strong dancer with dramatic limitations. Therefore Onegin could be considered something of a stretch.
Tim Rushton: ”Cinderella”
Royal Danish Ballet/Danish Dance Theatre
The Opera,
October 30 -31, 2008
The decor was stunning. The costumes were beautiful. The cast was well chosen. Still photos were magnificent. And you cannot get it wrong with Prokofiev. And yet Tim Rushton’s big scale “Cinderella” failed to live up to its promise. What went wrong?
