National Ballet of Canada at Sadler's Wells: Light tragedy in Alexei Ratmansky's Romeo and Juliet

choreographed by Alexei Ratmansky, debuted at Sadler's Wells on

Highs and Lows in Canada National Ballet’s Romeo
Jim Pritchard, Seen and Heard InternationalI really wanted to enjoy this Romeo and Juliet more than I did...
Ratmansky’s production is to be commended on many counts, not least the
primary focus on smooth and interesting choreography through the
decluttering of the stage and delayering of narrative.

Alexei Ratmansky evidently decided that the freshest way to approach Romeo and Juliet was to forefront as many characters as possible rather than concentrating on the doomed lovers. In his 2011 production for the National Ballet of Canada, he fleshes out the roles of Juliet’s nurse, Friar Lawrence, Paris and the Capulet parents, all of whom hold themselves to blame for the joint suicides. Everybody gets the chance to dance.
The National Ballet of Canada returns to London after a long absence but
its rendering of Ratmansky’s ballet is gaudy and too earnest

The Independent - 2 hours ago
Returning to London after more than quarter of a century, the National
Ballet of Canada brings Alexei Ratmansky's Romeo and Juliet as a calling
card. Now based at American Ballet theatre, the ex-director of the
Bolshoi is one of the world's most in-demand ...
Romeo And Juliet At Sadler's Wells: Canadian Ballet Returns to London
Londonist - 55 minutes ago
The National Ballet of Canada hasn't come to the UK for 26 years. It
therefore makes a very welcome return this week with Romeo and Juliet at

Ratmansky for the Canadian company in 2011, ...

The National Ballet of Canada: Romeo And Juliet, Sadler's Wells - dance review
Evening Standard - 2 hours ago
Do we need another Romeo & Juliet? The National Ballet of Canada
certainly thought so when they commissioned the darling of classical
ballet, Alexei Ratmansky, to make one for their 60th anniversary in
2011, and they chose to showcase it on their first trip ...
Romeo and Juliet, National Ballet of Canada, Sadler's Wells
The Arts Desk - 8 hours ago
The combination of Romeo, Juliet and the choreographer Alexei Ratmansky
should be almost too much for the blood pressure. Those defiant lovers,
that emotive yet intellectual young Russian craftsman of ballet. Hence
the huge turn-out of balletomanes for ...
It was brave of National Ballet of Canada to mark their first London visit in 26 years with a production of Romeo and Juliet. The Sergei Prokofiev classic is at the heart of British ballet culture, with versions by Rudolf Nureyev, Frederick Ashton and especially Kenneth MacMillan all well-known and much-loved. This interpretation is by Alexei Ratmansky, a choreographer who is arguably their natural heir.

The National Ballet of Canada's production of Romeo and Juliet at
Sadler's Wells had some vividly memorable passages but lacked a sense of
headlong impetuosity, says Sarah Crompton.

FROM John Cranko's ferocious grunge version to Kenneth MacMillan's
psychodrama of teenage lust, Shakespeare's play is nothing if not
elastic. Alexei Ratmansky's interpretation re-balances the narrative
without breaking new ground. By: Neil Norman ...
