    20 February 2014

    Boston Ballet became the first American company to commission a piece from José Martinez, former Paris Opera Étoile and current director of the Spanish National Ballet. Resonance premiered on February 20, 2014 alongside Jorma Elo’s C. to C. (Close to Chuck) Reborn, and Jiří Kylián’s Bella Figura. Karen Campbell of the Boston Globe called the premiere, "a major event” and stated, “[Lia] Cirio and Lasha Khozashvili stood out in an emotionally charged yet classically restrained duet of romantic sweep”.
