Good Things Come in Threes

The Royal NZ Ballet’s recent tour earned high praise in the Australian national media. The RNZB performed a trio of works by Christopher Hampson, Javier de Frutos and Michael Parmenter, collectively entitled Trinity. The Australian used words such as “unexpected,” “serene,” “athletic” and “transcendent” to describe the triple bill, while the ABC’s Nigel Munro-Wallis gave Trinity a 5-star rating: “This highly innovative program of three works is not only visually and artistically stunning in it’s scope, it also demonstrated yet again a point I have made on a number of occasions in relation to our own Queensland Ballet: namely that it is often with the smaller state companies (such as RNZB and QB) that we find many of our most versatile and talented dancers, simply because they must, of necessity, dance across a variety of styles.”
