Varna International Ballet - Swan Lake Reviews

Pam Morgan from Brighton,

NEW BALLET FAN

This is the 4th time I have seen this company. My husband and I are not ballet aficionados but have become lovers of ballet after seeing this company. I have nothing to compare them with, but to me the whole experience was enjoyable from start to finish.

Lovely performance. Thank you dancers.

Lalala from Bristol,

ENJOYABLE

Not up to the technical standard of the bigger name companies, and the backdrop graphics were really not good, but still very enjoyable overall. Ending not clear. Where were the 32 fouettés?

Soooo from Bristol, England

GOOD PRINCIPALS

Loved the principals but corps a bit tatty at times. Main issue was orchestral playing.. Dull & just nowhere near vibrant or exciting enough. Odd speeds. Poor tuning at times. Let it Sing Out more.!

David & Anna from Bath, England

DISAPPOINTED

He & she were good, but overall a rather lacklustre performance, too many gaps n errors, sloppy playing by most of band, dull set & costumes, apart from swans. Sorry cos they must be exhausted on that schedule!

Susan Farnworth from Preston

LACKLUSTRE PERFORMANCE

I see Swan Lake every year and this is first time I've seen varna. The set was non existent so rather boring. Company were good but just lacklustre in general

Annie Murphy from Blackpool

IT WAS ALRIGHT... BUT

Never in my 45 years, having seen numerous performances have I seen members of a live orchestra sat there with wooly hats, big coats and miserable faces on them. I’m no expert but the music was average to say the least, in fact the musicians look like they couldn’t be bothered. The set was dull and at times made no sense. Overall, whilst the principle dancers were very good, the whole thing came across as a rehearsal. The company are all very very young and it felt like we were watching a good end of year dance school performance but not a professional production. It was overpriced for what you got. Sorry.
