    Boston Ballet returned to the London Coliseum for the first time in 30 years. The company performed two programs showcasing Boston Ballet’s dynamic repertoire. The tour was a success with critics and audiences alike. The Londonist called Boston Ballet, “a company on top form…” and Judith Mackrell of The Guardian proclaimed, “With a cast dominated by the ferociously fast and precise Jeffrey Cirio, the choreography is lifted to a pitch of joyous, near-spontaneous exultation”.

    Boston Ballet welcomed nearly 55,000 people to Boston Common for the first-ever Night of Stars on Boston Common. The free community performance highlighted pieces from the company’s diverse repertoire, including George Balanchine's Serenade and Symphony in Three Movements, Jorma Elo's Plan to B, and excerpts from Marius Petipa's Don Quixote, Florence Clerc's La Bayadère, and Christopher Bruce's Rooster and the world premiere of Viktor Plotnikov's Swan. Boston Ballet dancers performed on the largest stage ever built on the Common. In honor of the event, the City of Boston named September 21, 2013 “Boston Ballet Day”.
