Dressed in Sandra Woodall’s African fabric sheath, Feijoo devours her solos, adhering to that beat, sweeping her arms and manipulating her torso and shoulders in a way that no other woman on the roster can do. Kimberly Braylock and Ellen Rose Hummel were her confident lieutenants.

Lallone as the lead female in the Evelyn part of Val Caniparoli’s famous 1995 work, Lambarena, was worth the price of admission and then some. While created first for Evelyn Cisneros and the San Francisco Ballet, Lallone really “owns” this part. Lambarena fuses ballet and traditional African dance to a sound score that fuses Bach and traditional African music.
