American Ballet Theatre: Fresh Visions and Timeless Classics

This program bridges distinct eras and styles of dance through a selection of three works. The evening begins with Helen Pickett's Petal, set to music by Philip Glass and Thomas Montgomery Newman, leading into the meditative human connections explored in Jiří Kylián's Petite Mort, choreographed to Mozart's iconic scores. The performance concludes with the grand divertissement from Natalia Makarova's Paquita, a piece rooted in 19th-century classical tradition that unfolds against the backdrop of Napoleonic Spain.
