"The dancing was of extraordinary calibre.
Boston Ballet looks like a coherent group. Artistic Director Mikko Nissinen has worked miracles with the company, and done so in a way that seems to satisfy his audiences...and the dancers as well."
- Theodore Bale, Dance International

"This company, it seems, can do almost anything.”
- Thea Singer, The Boston Globe

"...[This is] a company in the very first rank.  We are accustomed to Boston having one of the great symphonies of the world.  The town has now gotten itself a ballet company that meets that standard."
- Clive Barnes, Dance Magazine
