Tonight I went to the ballet, a modern, full length piece set to Mahler's Symphony 7, music I'm moderately familiar with. Indeed, the ballet was called Seven.
The company, Ballett am Rhein, and their dancing, was good, but it didn't really grab me. It seemed to have a narrative flow, though I couldn't work out what that narrative actually was. (Maybe I should have bought a programme if it mattered that much...)
The ballet didn't really add much to the music. They had a full orchestra - the RSNO - though since they were in the pit, they lacked a bit of punch.
Essentially, it's left me feeling a bit - meh...
