''Vespro'' is a ballet by Mauro Bigonzetti to eponymous music of Bruno Moretti, commissioned by New York City Ballet. The première took place Saturday, May 8, 2002, as part of Diamond Project V at the New York State Theater, Lincoln Center. ''Vespro'' is the first of three Bigonzetti / Moretti ballets commissioned by City Ballet, the others being ''In Vento'' and ''Oltremare''. == Original cast == *Alexandra Ansanelli *Maria Kowroski *Jason Fowler *Sébastien Marcovici *Benjamin Millepied == Reception == In the ''Village Voice'', the ballet's premiere at the NYBC 2002 Spring Gala was described by Deborah Jowitt as beginning "startlingly", with the male lead dancing and interacting with the on-stage piano, becoming "fascinating" as more musicians and dancers are added, but in parts feeling "long and aimless".〔("Run With It" ). ''Village Voice''. Deborah Jowitt, May 14, 2002.〕 The ''New York Times'' review of the debut found the piece "witty neo-Futurist, neo-Dada and neo-Absurdist", praising its use of musicians and dancers used in "startling supple shapes", and its "distinctive originality."〔("Ballet Review; Spaghetti Suppleness, Neo-Dada and a Toast in a Showcase of New Works" ). ''New York Times''. Anna Kisselgoff, May 10, 2002.〕 In a review the following year, the ''Times'' again described the dancing as "superb" and "marvelous", calling the ballet "a creative work."〔("Ballet Review; Veteran Soloist Bows Out in an Impromptu Farewell" ).
