This ballet was so wonderful! The precision, beauty and talent was great to watch. One of my favorite ballets.
The only disappointment was the battle between the prince and the wizard, it was very weak. On the other hand, the swan was amazing! Keep dancing for peace!
Although Swan Lake is not one of my favorites the show was very good and the performers were excellent.
Wonderful experience, good set up and great costume design. Performers were well prepared.
Message on the curtain: “We Dance For Peace. RBT Swan Lake” gave a message that set the positive tone. Setting, costumes were elaborate & beautiful. Dancers we’re absolutely exquisite, especially the leads. I don’t know how “the swan” moved her body so delicately. She was so lithe with her “wings.” I loved the entire presentation.
The dancing was outstanding, particularly the pirouettes.
We loved the ballet! I had seen Swan Lake four times, previously, but this performance drew me in completely. It was absolutely beautiful!!! Loved the dancing, the lead ballerina was so talented! Loved the joker, too! Costumes were stunning and the sets were amazing. We would highly recommend the troupe and seeing this ballet!
The dancers were incredible.. the lead ballerina was out of this planet.. those crazy turns at that speed.. only few can do that. I had a front row seat and I was mesmerized by the stage deco, the customs and the dancers. Well done!!
Very good dancers, with a perfect casting of the Jester.
Everything was great…I went with my sister and mother and after it finished we keep talking about how amazing it was
First of all, the Russian Ballet Company had to change their name because of current events. Secondly, they were "on pointe" and made me feel so special by their beautiful work.
We arrived early and quickly obtained an adult beverage then went to our seats. People seemed to be more on time than usual for El Paso and the event started nearly on time. What an amazing performance and I only wish there had been some comment made to the audience about sympathies for Ukraine, but that might have been problematic for the dancers etc. The canned music was very good but a bit too loud and overall everything was excellent.
This was my first time at a ballet. It was a date with my fiancé as well. She has been enjoying ballet for years. We both enjoyed this one. Thank y’all for a wonderful performance!
This rendition of Swan Lake is a breathtaking and fresh view of a classic ballet. So colorful and full of life. The performers are top notch professionals who put their heart into what must be an exhausting performance. RBT’s take on Swan Lake is a must see for the whole family. Bravo to RBT for their excellent ballet. Highly recommend.
Magnificent and breathtaking performance! A must see!
Never been to a ballet what an experience best time I’ve ever had
Loved the costumes and dancing. The dancers kept smiles on their face and I was just amazed at the way they kept on their toes and the spinning! Good length with an intermission. I'm glad there was a happy ending ;-)
Loved the dancers, thought tickets were a little pricey for not live orchestra. Sound too low 1st half, no impact. Better after intermission. Other than that enjoyable evening.
This whole experience was very odd. There was no program and no ushers in the theatre. No announcements (like please silence your cell phone) and the show just started. The music wasnt live it was piped in via a DJ. The dancers were mediocre at best- almost laughable at times. The costumes were pretty but that was about it. We stayed until intermission which it wasn't even clear thats what it was. People unfamiliar with swan lake would have thought it was the end of the performance. One of the male dancers tights were completely see though which was not only inappropriate and kind of obscene but also made me feel horrible for him because he had no idea. I would NOT bother spending money on this pitiful excuse for swan lake. Really disappointing performance
It truly was amazing! The female dancers were magnificent. They all seemed to be actually floating on stage!
