Program

Balanchine + Wheeldon

MAR 1, 2 mat & eve, 3

Approximately 2 hr 10 min

A DELIGHFULLY IMAGINATIVE AND BRILLIANTLY CHARMING SET OF HIGH-SPIRITED WORKS

Christopher Wheeldon’s Carnival of the Animals makes a welcome return to the repertory, featuring Emmy- and Tony-nominated actor Terrence Mann as a guest artist. An engagingly whimsical tale, with a libretto by the actor John Lithgow, the dance depicts a young boy who falls asleep in the Museum of Natural History, only to dream that the people in his life have taken animal shapes. Three varied Balanchine classics complete this family-friendly program: the lively pas de deux Tarantella; the effervescent Tschaikovsky Pas de Deux, which showcases its dancers’ virtuosic technique; and the jubilant Stars and Stripes, Balanchine’s danced celebration of America and the march-master John Philip Sousa.
