    "It is hard to say enough about Ghosts. This was the world premiere of the work by choreographer, Christopher Wheeldon to music by composer C. F. Kip Winger (they have known each other since 1997) featuring principal dancers; Sofiane Sylve, Brett Bauer, Tiit Helimets, Yuan Yuan Tan and Damian Smith. The scenic design was by Laura Jellinek, with costume design by Mark Zappone and lighting design by Mary Louise Geiger. If this isn't the most beautiful ballet I have ever seen, it surely ranks at the top of the list. There was the perfect other worldly feeling in the costumes' filmy quality, while the unusual steps felt just right and the partnering was amazing. I hope it will be added to ballet repertoire and I will be able to see this "delicious" ballet in the future."
