Review by Clement Crisp<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>The leaves are turning, and the new ballet season begins. (It had a rather fraught start in Paris, the performances of Notre Dame de Paris at the Opera Garnier were cancelled on Saturday of a tech-nicians' strike.) In Antwerp, the adventurous Royal Ballet of Flanders presented two new pieces at the week's end in the dance- enhancing space of their Theater 'T Eilandje: unfussed, functional, and with splendid sight-lines. As ever, Robert Denvers' ensemble is alert, quick in response to choreography, clean in manner - it is a very attractive company. But I feel that these artists deserved, variously, better of what they were given in this first double-bill <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P><A HREF="http://globalarchive.ft.com/globalarchive/article.html?id=011009001770&query=ballet" TARGET=_blank> <B> MORE... </B> </A>
