Just to clarify a (possible) misunderstanding…

This was some years ago... 2013 to be quite precise. What an excellent combination programme this was... We were not even half-way through the fantastic Manuel Legris' era here in Vienna.

This is just a reminder, in case some uninformed German "dance critics", who have not even been here, write again that during the last 10 years The Vienna State Ballet has been just concentrating on the formality of classical ballet. This is obviously not true, as you can testify just by watching this video.

Between us: it is quite unprofessional to write such banality.

It is OK to write critically about anything. But to “change history” is simply a NO GO. It not only lacks complete originality, freshness and novelty but it is an unbearable, unacceptable repetition of clichés including the one of “trying and insisting to be (look?) modern and intellectual at any cost" - this is THE most old-fashioned attitude ever!
