Program Three — Fanciful Journey | December 20 – 21, 2024Sarasota Opera House
Accompanied by the Sarasota Orchestra
Program Three opens with Les Patineurs, a playful tale of ice-skaters and their impromptu party on a frozen pond in Victorian England. The ballet shows Ashton’s choreography and wit at its finest. Balanchine’s Rubies, the central piece of his iconic full length ballet Jewels, continues Program Three with vibrancy and flair, perfectly counterbalanced by Stravinsky’s dissonant and edgy score. The long-awaited world premiere of Sir David Bintley’s The Spider’s Feast closes the program. Bintley’s whimsical choreography transports audiences to a bustling garden filled with colorful insects while an arachnid menace surreptitiously stalks its prey. Brought to life with incredible sets and costumes by renowned designer Dick Bird, The Spider’s Feast is sure to delight audiences.
Repertoire will include:
Les Patineurs | Choreography by Sir Frederick Ashton | Music by Giacomo Meyerbeer
Rubies | Choreography by George Balanchine | Music by Igor Stravinsky
The Spider’s Feast (World Premiere) | Choreography by Sir David Bintley | Music by Albert Roussel
