Marvel at three works from award-winning choreographers who are considered masters of ballet, featuring pure classical dancing at its best with contemporary twists that go where no choreographer has gone before.
These include “Polyphonia”, which is widely regarded as Tony-award-winning English choreographer Christopher Wheeldon’s breakthrough contemporary work, showcases modern choreography with an understanding of the past.
Dancers move at the speed of light while articulating the body in perfect harmony with music by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius (1865-1957) in Finnish choreographer Jorma Elo’s “1st Flash.”
Plus, see why Georgian-American choreographer George Balanchine (1904-1983) is hailed as the father of 20th century dance in “Theme and Variations”, which features a classic score by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) culminating in a polonaise.
Presented by the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, which has been staging professional ballet in Pittsburgh since 1969.
