This is the opening Royal Ballet programme at the new ROH and it was a brave move to avoid the classics. I hope to see the programme next week, last minute stand-bys permitting.<P>The format is two 40 minute new works, by modern dance choreographer, Sue Davies and Ashley Page and a central part which is the source of the Int. Chor. title. Opinions are very mixed about these snippets from Martins, Kudulka, Duato etc. But I thought it would be interesting for N. American fans to read about Kistler, Harrington and others.<P>Here are some reviews:<P>Ismene Brown <A HREF="http://www.telegraph.co.uk:80/et?ac=000148269364269&rtmo" TARGET=_blank>http://www.telegraph.co.uk:80/et?ac=000148269364269&rtmo</A> <BR>=kLeY7eZp&atmo=99999999&pg=/et/99/12/10/btball10.html<P>Judith Mackrell <A HREF="http://www.newsunlimited.co.uk/reviews/story/0,3604,113004,00.html" TARGET=_blank>www.newsunlimited.co.uk/reviews/story/0,3604,113004,00.html</A> <P>Debra Craine <A HREF="http://www.the-times.co.uk/news/pages/tim/99/12/10/timartdan02001.html?1376249" TARGET=_blank>http://www.the-times.co.uk/news/pages/tim/99/12/10/timartdan02001.html?1376249</A> <P>

Thanks, Stuart.
