What an incredible ballet! The Ukrainian National Ballet was fantastic. Especially the jester!! Loved it. Can’t wait to see them again.
First time to see Swan Lake and loved it. Loved seeing all the little girls in attendance. It was a beautiful show and the music was filling to my heart! Loved seeing it at Hershey Theater!
This was a wonderful show; the dancers were poised, the music was beautiful. Hershey Theatre is a lovely old theatre. There is not a bad seat in the house. we recommend the State Ballet Theatre of Ukraine to all.
Very slow moving with relatively dull musical score. That's how it's written, so maybe it just wasn't for us. We noted some obvious group dancing mistakes, which we would not expect of a highly regarded dance company. Practice, practice, practice.
They clearly made mistakes and were not top notch. However I hope they had a great experience here in the US.
Overall, the show was beautiful. The dancers were talented, the costumes were exquisite, and the scenery was well done. The show was composed of 4 acts. Acts 1-2 ran approximately 1 hour and acts 3-4 ran approximately 50 minutes. There was a 20 minute intermission. The dancer who played Odette, danced beautifully. She really shined when playing the alternate part of the black swan, Odile. The jester also played his part amazingly. He displayed great athleticism, grace, and skill. The absolute pinnacle of the show was acts 3-4. The quality of the dancing, the delivery of the storyline, and the emotion conveyed during this portion of the show were excellent! I did, however, have a few comments on the quality of the show which, in my opinion, did detract from the overall performance. And should be addressed moving forward. 1: the prince did not show emotion on his face to effectively deliver the storyline in Acts 1-2. He came across as bland. This slightly improved in Acts 3-4. 2: fairly frequently, the dance company was not in sync, which became somewhat distracting.
I purchased tickets to Sleeping Beauty, by State Ballet Theater of the Ukraine. The ad showed professional dancers, 3 dimensional sets, and a promise of a wonderful afternoon. We saw one dimensional backdrops, suspect costumes, and children from a local dance company. It is great for children to participate in the arts, but it should be noted. Also, full price shouldn’t be charged. We left after the first intermission. We felt cheated and won’t be returning to the Kirby anytime soon. I have also shared a gently warning with my friends. Be well.
This was the first ballet I saw and I was really impressed.
AMAZING!!! BLEW ME AWAY!!! THE DANCERS WERE EXCELLENT!! THE SHOW WAS FUN, MUSIC WAS GREAT, SETS AND COSTUMES WERE AMAZING. GREAT SHOW FOR EVERYONE, KIDS AND FAMILY WILL LOVE IT. TRULY AN EXPERIENCE TO CHERISH.
THESE GUYS WERE EXCELLENT. THE SHOW HAD IT ALL, ELEGANCE, HUMOR, COSTUMES, MUSIC AND MAGIC!!! THE DANCERS WERE AMAZING FROM THE PRINCIPLES, TO SOLOIST, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE CORPS. A HIDDEN GEM!! GO IF YOU CAN. ITS WELL WORTH IT!!!! LOTS OF EXTRAS, PICTURES WITH A BALLERINA, GIFTS SHOP WITH UKRAINIAN BALLET MERCHANDISE. EVERYONE IS SUPER NICE. GREAT PRODUCTION.I WILL BE SEEING THEM AGAIN!!!
Loved the ballet, and the children who danced seemed to be local, I noted parents or grandparents in the audience holding flowers and taking pictures and videos of them. What I was disappointed in was that the theatre looked to be half full!!! When I purchased the tickets it was said that limited seats were available!! Well that was not true , and I felt bad for the dancers at the end when the lights came up and they could see into the audience.
They did a wonderful job of telling the story of Snow White. The dancers were great and the backdrops were detailed and gorgeous.
I attended the ballet in Savannah with three friends. The production was perfect in every way! The story, costumes, dancers, humor, professionalism was appreciated. I hope the tour is a huge deserved success. Unceasing blessings to Ukraine! Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇸🇺🇦🌻🕊💙✨🙏🏻🌻🇺🇦🇺🇸
This ballet was delightful! The set design was beautiful, the costumes gorgeous and fun. And the dancing was world class. Please don’t miss your opportunity to see this ballet and support Ukranian arts!
Absolutely amazing! I was there with my daughter and my friends and we loved the ballet which was performed by State Ballet Theatre of Ukraine. I hope they will arrive to us more often.
The Dancing, Consumes and staging was was well Done. We espically like the story arrangement in the second half
Wonderful performance xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx
I love the performance! One of the best ballets I’ve ever seen. Beautiful, colorful, whimsical, and comical.
We had the pleasure of seeing the State Ballet of Ukraine perform Snow White at Alabama Theater in Birmingham. It was no surprise that the dancers were amazing reflecting the mood of each scene with their moves. Wow! How do they do it? You will enjoy the shift in emotions of happiness, love, anger, hate, fear, sadness, surprise, humor, and relief reflected through dance, costume and music. I’m glad we had the experience. Best wishes to Ukraine. Thank you, dancers
An absolute delight. Very enjoyable. Definitely would recommend!
