Works by Eduardo Vilaro

• Deshár Alhát (Leave Sunday) (2008) - "Vilaro brilliantly employs Latino songs.

• CUGAT! (2007) - "A surefire hit, a thrill ride through Latin dance and a high-octane tribute to bandleader Xavier Cugat." - Sid Smith, Chicago Tribune

• Don Quixote Dances (2005) - "Don Quixote Dances" was commissioned for Ravinia Festival’s 2005 season to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the publication of Cervantes' "Don Quixote" as part of “One Score, One Chicago."
• Amor y Dolor (1999) - "Framed by Roxanne Ramos' gracious poem, this meditation for four female dancers deconstructs the inherent anguish of Latin dance while extending it to a transcendent theatrical plane." - Lucia Mauro - Chicago Tribune
