Review: Gala dancers hold exciting promise Jan 26, 2008
There was newness, too, in an odd gamble: a commissioned ballet by 25-year-old Wade Robson of the TV show "So You Think You Can Dance." "The Energy Between Us" left an impression of spiked hair (wife Amanda Robson's hip costuming), high-energy flailing, music-video slickness and Pauli Magierek tossing her blond mane with the allure of a fashion model. More gala-typical was the evening's parade of short romantic pas de deux, but if they tended to meld into a blur of lyricism, the dancers in them... (San Francisco Chronicle)

abt's Rewards This Season Were in the Past Nov 13, 2007
The most distinguished aspect of "C. to C." is the striking costuming by fashion designer Ralph Rucci. Especially when Mr. Rucci's beautiful, black creations present the ballet's cast of three women and three men in similarly cut, stiffly shaped floor-length skirts, the costumes artfully abet Mr. Elo's now-familiar neglect of ballet's traditional stress on the work of the legs and feet, even providing a kind of dramatic logic for it.

But they do give time for incidental music, which is of a piece with the costuming: for example, "Satisfaction" (I can't get no) and "Mellow Yellow."

Lyric Opera meets 'Impossible' challenge Oct 7, 2007
Unlike the later Les Miz, however, the Don Quixote story with its play within a play was a very simply staged sleeper hit, using lighting and autumnal costuming (not to mention the sex appeal of soon-to-be-musical-matinee-idol Richard Kiley) as its chief visual aids. The scenic aspect of the Lyric Opera's production is gratifying, coming as it does on the heels of the lumbering fake landscapes and painted scenery of the recent touring Camelot at the Civic.
