Soft blue tutus…a sweeping Tchaikovsky score. Next—a western saloon and cowboy hats. George Balanchine’s iconic ballets—Serenade and Western Symphony—look nothing alike, yet both demonstrate Balanchine’s ability to evoke powerful emotions. Finally, After the Rain Pas de Deux, created for New York City Ballet by Tony Award winner Christopher Wheeldon (MJ The Musical), honors the great master.
A haunting duet, hummable Hershy Kay melodies, sweeping romanticism, cowboys – MIX showcases Saint Louis Ballet’s great versatility and talent in a program with spirit and heart.
Live music with Darwin Acquino and the Chamber Music Society of Saint Louis!
