Beautiful ballet show, the live music was great. I would definitely recommend seeing it!
It was not worth the price of admission. Over 50% of the attendees left at intermission, it was that poor of a performance. The first half of the show was slow. There were long, awkward pauses in the music. Albano himself was self-indulgent. The performers often ran back and forth on the stage, not dancing. The costumes were drab. The second half was better, a little. The dancers performed well and were given a chance to dance. The oriental act dancers hardly had time on the stage and the middle eastern act was laughable. The children were the sweetest. Still people left in droves all through the performance. It was sad. Throughout the performance, phones rang, disco balls spun red and blue lights, and people took flash photos. It was distracting.
If you are a seasoned theater goer and enjoy ballet, you will be sorely disappointed with Albano's. If you are a neophyte ballet watcher, well, you will be sorely disappointed too. It wasn't professional enough for a regular, nor was it interesting/entertaining enough for the casual viewer.
