“Ángel Corella is celebrating 15 years with American Ballet Theatre and his new Corella Ballet Castilla y León. The forever-adorable danseur noble has made good on his promise of establishing the first professional ballet company in his native Spain and their first NYC program is an adventurous one, with Corella's String Sextet set to Tchaikovsky’s Russified Souvenir de Florence. Christopher Wheeldon's DGV is another memory piece danced to Michael Nyman while Vladimir Vasilyov and Natalia Kasatkina’s Sunny Duet and Leonid Lavrovsky's Walpurgisnacht are examples of those histrionic hothouse ballets of the Soviet era. And, because this is a Spanish company, there is Maria Pages' flamenco duet Solea for Ángel and sister Carmen.”
