Little Mermaid is a complicated and grand scale masterpiece. Only two or three ballet companies in the world are capable of performing this ballet at a high level of dance. The Joffrey is one of those companies which was demonstrated Wednesday night. The performance was a rout de force in every respect. Simply put, The Joffrey is the best dance company in America and one of the top ballet companies globally. They are at the top of the mountain artistically. Music by the Lyric Opera Orchestra was magnificent.
