Lyon Opera Ballet.(Dance review)
Lyon Opera Ballet Zellerbach Hall, Berkeley, CA October 27, 2006
Every visit with the ballet company from France's second city brings its share of revelations.

Sally Silvers got her start in the nineteen-eighties, but she was never afflicted with the postmodern concerns of that decade: the irony, the obsession with style. Always, she has been a straight-out modernist--an abstractionist, a collagist--and apparently this had to do, in part, with politics.
