“Nixon’s breathtaking,
dramatic choreography…
These Dangerous Liaisons are a volcanic, voluptuous,
visceral delight.”
York Evening Press
“Natalie Leftwich’s
pretty Merteuil, Jimmy Orrante’s louche Valmont and
Chiaki Nagao’s tender Tourvel are compelling
leads.”
The Daily Telegraph
“Deception, obsession, seduction
and sexual depravity are all revealed in this brilliant
production and the performers bring out their various
characters superbly…Dangerous Liaisons
is absolutely fantastic.”
BBC Online
“The fulcrum is Natalie Leftwich’s
Marquise de Merteuil, a creature of kittenish cruelty. Her
machinations activate a whirlpool of lust,
love and loss.”
The Times
“Nixon creates some beautiful interplay
between predator and prey.”
Yorkshire Post
“As ever, the
jewel in Northern Ballet Theatre’s crown is Chiaki
Nagao, who agonises wonderfully as the vulnerable Madame De
Tourvel.”
Metro
“…Nixon
does have a gift for shaping a complex plot into graspable
narrative. This production, created for BalletMet in America,
is fluently staged.”
The Independent
“The costumes are sensual
and exciting. The duets are packed with intrigue
and emotion.”
The Stage
“Tall and willowy, Leftwich dances
impeccably. Her staccato solo…full of tight gestures
and suppressed, volcanic anger…Excellent
choreography.”
