Friday October 18th, 2013 - Since I was involved in the early planning stages of these first performances by Craig Salstein's Intermezzo Dance Company. I can't really write about their premiere performance tonight at the 92nd Street Y with any sense of detachment - not that we should ever be detached from dance. But of course I loved the music - the Verdi string quartet and a fantasia on themes from his opera A MASKED BALL (all played live by the Wyrick Quartet) - and the choreographers and dancers all came thru with flying colours. And the audience was simply loaded with dance-world celebrities.
With three sold-out performances, Intermezzo's off to a fine start, and I know Craig has some exciting future plans - which can't, as yet, be announced.
Hopefully I'll soon have some production photos to share.
