REVIEWS

 

 

..when Rudolf Nureyev came to the west we saw how male dancer should dance, with arrival of Thomas Edur we saw not only that but also understood what it is all about!“

— Clement Crisp

"...there simply isn't a finer male dancer working in Britain today..." 

— The Times

“…If you can catch Thomas Edur’s Prince Siegfried, you will see the finest and noblest interpreter of the role in Britain - and arguably the world. Words to be eaten?  I think not!”

— Financial Times

 

“There is only one place in Britain to go to see a man dancing ballet as if it was not only an art but life itself, and that is wherever Thomas Edur is.”

— Daily Telegraph

“In Thomas Edur, the Romeo, we see the finest classical dancer in the country.”

— Financial Times

"Thomas Edur is among the world’s finest male dancers with impeccable style, a bravura technique, and an attractive unforced stage personality."

— London Evening Standard

 

“Thomas Edur is a premier danseur noble in greatest traditions of that rare, rare breed… “

— Financial Times
