REVIEW
On opening night of „Modigliani“ the audience unsurprisingly , greeted this radical new dance piece with appropriate enthusiasm and lengthy standing up applause, and flowers, arrived in profusion on stage. Thomas Edur has already set his seal on the world of ballet as one of its greatest dancers, but with his confident stewardships of Estonian national company and with the remarkable choreography of his first full-length ballet he has put down a marker of empathic significance if which we should all take note.
