As far as national summer tours go, Nikolaj Hübbe is much more ambitious than his predecessors, who seemed to rely on small scale ballets and Napoli III act that could be produced with minimal effort. I his repertoire for the summer tour Hübbe not only include excepts from "Swan Lake" and "Sleeping Beauty" which will be part of next years season, he chooses two of the most taxing pas de deux as well as the divertissement from "Raymonda" to showcase his dancers and give the Danish audience a healthy dose of classical excellence.

Royal Danish Ballet

May June 2010

Nikolaj Hübbe finished his second season with a double bill consisting of a night focusing on the ladies and one on the gentlemen. The result is a flood of good ballets and outstanding dancing, mixed with a few less successful efforts, including the new Brandstrup ballet, danced in a male and female variation. The surprise winner is a suite of Bournonville etudes, presented in an imaginary and breathtaking production by Nikolaj Hübbe and Thomas Lund.
