...whole, is technically challenging and often belies the cheery, lighthearted texture of the ballet. In the Oct. 20 evening performance, Larissa Ponomarenko’s performance as Kitri was both spirited and graceful. She is flawless in her technique, particularly her controlled and sustained extension. Ponomarenko triumphed in Act III at the end of an exhausting performance with a series of fouette turns, executed with tireless accuracy.Though Nelson Madrigal’s Basilio is animated and energetic, and the two complement each other on stage, the audience can’t help watching Ponomarkeno rather than Madrigal when...
