Three ballet masterpieces of the 20th Century |
For Le French May, the Hong Kong Ballet’s Artistic Director John Meehan creates the programme Tricolor – red, white and blue - three 20th century masterpieces all new to the repertoire of the Company.
White is for Suite en Blanc. With its purity of style and dazzling technique, Serge Lifar’s brilliant ballet is a showcase for the whole company.
Red is for Rubies. Inspired by Claude Arpel’s luminous jewellery, George Balanchine’s high energy, neo-classical ballet Rubies is filled with choreography that is sparkling, and jazzy with a truly spontaneous quality.
Blue is for the flowers in Antony Tudor’s intense Jardin aux Lilas. Young lovers steal their last, furtive goodbyes in a garden redolent with the scent of lilacs and unfulfilled longings. |
