Lovely Lynette Wills

Reviews

La Bayadère
 
"Lynette Wills and Robert Curran danced the pas de deux with refined elegance. Wills dances her solo with effervescent joy while Curran nailed the challenging turns and leaps in his solo, earning cheers as he came to a triumphant halt." The Age, 23 June 2008
 
"[Lynette] Wills, who has the most fabulous legs, exuded glamour and Curran was all poise and ease in his solo, which drew deserved cheers." The Australian, 24 June 2008

Graeme Murphy's Swan Lake

"This is the best dancing and acting we’ve seen from [Lynette] Wills: sexy, compelling, nasty." Herald Sun, 19 March 2008

"Friday night's Melbourne opening featured the experienced, and stellar, trio of Madeleine Eastoe, Robert Curran and Lynette Wills and they were, as expected, splendid. Wills, returning from maternity leave, danced with new freedom and an even deeper understanding of the Baroness von Rothbart." The Australian, 18 March 2008

Jerome Robbins' The Cage 

"Lynette Wills excels as the ultimate spider woman in The Cage as she arks into intimidating poses and stokes fire in her eyes. She is also a great actor in The Concert..." Herald Sun, 8 June 2008

The Sleeping Beauty

"The incredibly flexible Lynette Wills is a glamorous as well as wicked Carabosse." The New Zealand Herald, 19 October 2006

"Lynette Wills (was) an elegant Lilac Fairy." SMH, 5 December 2005

Graeme Murphy's Swan Lake

"Lynette Wills’s composedly powerful performance as Baroness Von Rothbart providing a perfect ‘other woman’...(The) Baroness Von Rothbart, was superbly portrayed by Wills. One question though: how on earth is it possible to hop on pointe with those feet!? Wills seemed to attract Siegfried away from his young bride with confident assuredness of her power as a woman. We see the difference between the two characters when the Baroness composes herself in the middle of Act 3, after losing her lover to Odette." Ballet Magazine, 22 July 2005

"Lynette Wills is Baroness von Rothbart, whom you can see as a scheming cow or just a woman doing all she can to secure her man - a bold and secure performance." Ballet Magazine, July 2005

Telstra Ballet in the Bowl
Petipa's Swan Lake

Southern Lights

"Principal artist Lynette Wills commanded attention with every entrance." The Age, 23 June 2004

Graeme Murphy's Swan Lake
 
"(Lynette Wills) presented a spectrum from regal superiority to spitfire velocity." The Age, 14 June 2004

American Masters

"...the tempestuous dalliance of the third duet, boldly defined by Lynette Wills...Wills, Joshua Horner and Message performed the sinuous trio, and the ensemble, with demanding lifts and partnering for the men, made a power-packed contribution." SMH, 2 June 2003

"Lynette Wills and Robert Curran wore the charcoal/red costumes of the third duet, which is the most volatile. I really enjoyed seeing this couple cut a few corners to pack more punch into the big moves." BBDance, 2003
