REFLECTIONS

Choreography: Gerald Arpino
Music: Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Costumes: A. Christina Giannini
Lighting Design: Jack Mehler

BALLET NOTES:A neoclassical, pure dance ballet and a perfect example of the “Arpino” style – high lifts, a flying pace, and classic beauty. This fast-paced and physically challenging ballet is set to Tchaikovsky’s Variations on a Rococo Theme for Cello and Orchestra, Op. 33. Arpino recreated the ballet in 1985, after having been out of active repertoire since 1976.

AGE OF INNOCENCE

Choreography: Edwaard Liang
Music: Philip Glass and Thomas Newman
Costume Design: Maria Pinto
Lighting Design: Mark Stanley

BALLET NOTES: This ballet, inspired by the novels of Jane Austen, tells the story of females of the late eighteenth century and early nineteenth-century. It’s a story of societal repression and of the strength of the human spirit. Age of Innocence was created with funds from the Prince Prize for Commissioning Original Work, which was awarded to Edwaard Liang and The Joffrey Ballet in 2008.
