ALL MARTINS

    • Music by: Charles Ives
    • Choreography by: Peter Martins
    • Principal Casting: May 14, 18 Mat, 23: Sterling Hyltin, Robert Fairchild* (*first time in role)

    Peter Martins' first ballet, a series of solos and duets for two dancers that is set to eight short pieces by Ives, is an edgy, contemporary work full of propulsive movement.

    • Principal Casting: May 14, 18 Mat, 23: Teresa Reichlen, Savannah Lowery, Erica Pereira, Amar Ramasar, Jonathan Stafford, Chase Finlay* (*first time in role)

    Featuring stunning lighting effects that create geometric patterns onstage, River of Light is an exploration in partnering, at times angular and other moments lyrical, for three interchanging couples.

    • Choreography by: Peter Martins
    • Principal Casting: May 14, 18 Mat: Sara Mearns, Megan Fairchild, Ask la Cour, Jared Angle
