Things are bound to get hot when Ballet West presents the Utah premiere of Twyla Tharp's Nine Sinatra Songs. Filled with memorable tunes sung by Ol' Blue Eyes himself, this spectacular piece will have you tapping your toes and humming along. But the excitement doesn't stop there. Nine Sinatra Songs headlines a fantastic quadruple-bill that also features George Balanchine's masterful Serenade the first original ballet Balanchine created in the United States, the long-awaited return of Bruce Marks' Continuo and the pas de deux from Val Caniparoli's poignant Hamlet and Ophelia. This is one evening of ballets with something for everyone. So join Sinatra, Ballet West and a whole bunch of fun-loving Strangers in the Night for an unforgettable evening of entertainment.

      Last night's opening program showed BW at its most brilliant. It was a strong and varied program with opportunities to see the dancers in unexpected and surprising roles. Serenade was particularly breathtaking in the overall presentation and stylistic interpretation. While special recognition needs to go to Ms. Bennet and Ms. Crews for their performances, kudos must also go to the corps who were flawless. Mr. Ruud shone in the Hamlet & Ophelia Pas de Deux. It was delightful to see Ms. Brenneman's take on the challenging role of Ophelia. Although technically strong, I personally would've enjoyed a more dramatic expressiveness in this poignant role. Continuo presented the Company men with a great opportunity to showcase their respective strenghts. Regrettably, while it did this for some (Bravo, Mr.Sellars!)it also showed the need for improvement in others. The Company excelled in Sinatra Songs and had the audience humming in the lobby on leaving. Great evening of dance. Thank you BW! Collapse
