On Oct. 22 while in town for a quick visit, I attended the final performance of the Joffrey Ballet’s production of “Frankenstein” at the Lyric Opera House. As someone who loves ballet and has been to many performances over the years — from classical to modern dance — this was one of the best shows I have seen in years.
From the technique to choreography to staging to lighting, the performance demonstrated excellent preparation and dedication to craft. If you missed it, I am sorry to say that you really missed out — no sugarcoating it. It was that good and that memorable. I feel fortunate to have caught the final show.
