BWW Review: World Premier of Michael Pink's BEAUTY & THE BEAST Enchants at the Milwaukee Ballet
by Kelsey Lawler - April 13, 2018
Roses wave hello, storybook pages spring to life, the townsfolk are actually nice, and the troupe of orphan children are a little creepy. This isn't Disney's Beauty & the Beast. Instead, Michael Pink gives us a world premier Milwaukee ballet where 'Belle is the hero of her own story; a voracious reader, quick-witted, and the maker of her own destiny.'

BWW Review: Skylight & Milwaukee Opera Theatre Breathe Fresh Life Into THE TALES OF HOFFMANN
by Kelsey Lawler - March 20, 2018
The overall tone of 'Hoffmann' is rife with broken hearts and a healthy dose of the macabre.

The scenery itself, the on-stage orchestra, the celestial lighting, and creative ways in which characters come and go - it all serves to highlight the fantasy in this 'opera fantastique.'
