Adding to their strong chemistry, Connor Walsh and Karina González as Romeo and Juliet...
Soloist Aaron Damian Sharratt is Tybalt and principal dancer Connor Walsh is Romeo in Houston Ballet's"Romeo and Juliet."For ballet on a grand operatic scale, nothing else in Houston Ballet’s repertoire compares to Stanton Welch’s “Romeo and Juliet.” Reflecting the sonic decadence of Sergei Prokofiev’s beloved score, the production is over the top in every way.
While Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers are doomed to be forever young, it is a pleasure to see how the dancers who portray them have matured as artists in the eight years since Welch’s ballet premiered. Adding to their strong chemistry, Karina González and Connor Walsh are dancing with pure effortlessness. Her feet are rarely on the ground during the ballet’s luminous pas de deux, yet every sweep and lift looks natural and ravishingly fluid.
There was much to love here. What I want most from Shakespeare’s tragedy, though, is a good cry. Or at least the sense that I’ve been a little bit wrung out. Something about this “Romeo and Juliet” feels as flat as all the bodies left in the crypt of the final scene. Jessica Collado, returning as Lady Capulet, brings compelling empathy and strength to a weighty role that gives the ballet more than one gravitational center.
