ARTICLES & CRITICAL ACCLAIM

The David H. Koch Theater hummed with anticipation as guests, including Indre Rockefeller and Selita Ebanks, took their seats at the New York City Ballet Spring Gala. The focal points of the evening—which honored board chairman Jay Fishman, a beloved champion of the ballet—were the hotly anticipated premieres of Nicolas Blanc’s Mothership and Christopher Wheeldon’s American Rhapsody, both of which earned rapturous applause.
Critical Dance
But seeing the ballet a second time enabled me to see another world premiere ballet a second time – Mothership, choreographed by Nicolas Blanc, which is a highly enjoyable little 21st (or 22nd or 23rd) Century burst of energy, as well as to get a second view this season of Alexei Ratmansky’s masterful Concerto DSCH.
“Espérons avoir l’occasion d’en voir davantage d’un chorégraphe qui a toute sa place au répertoire des grandes compagnies mondiales.”
“The hotly anticipated premieres of Nicolas Blanc’s Mothership and Christopher Wheeldon’s AmericanRhapsody, both of which earned rapturous applause.”
“Blanc has choreographed a piece that is constantly in motion, consistently surprising”
