Timely production for multiple reasons - The Soldiers Tale 2021 NZSO

‘Shaun James Kelly’s choreography responds to the angularity of the music and fully exploits the limited opportunities that the work offers for dance, although the presence of musicians on stage constrains the possibility for more expansive movement.  Leonora Voigtlander as the Princess projects both the innocence as well as the insistence the role requires as she persuades the Soldier to seek out his mother, only to disappear for good.’
