NYC – Three Short Ballets from the Big Apple
Anticipation has been building around the Royal New Zealand Ballet’s latest performance: NYC Three Short Ballets from the Big Apple – and for more reasons than one.
Overview
Anticipation has been building around the Royal New Zealand Ballet’s upcoming performance of NYC Three Short Ballets from the Big Apple – and for more reasons than one. For starters this will be recently appointed artistic director Ethan Stiefel’s first programme for the company. It’s his chance to celebrate the incredibly creative city where he spent his 22-year dance career and also show us why he’s so highly regarded internationally.
The triple bill kicks off with Benjamin Millepied’s Variations on a Theme by Paganini, giving New Zealand audiences the chance to experience work by the outstanding Black Swan choreographer.
To follow is Final Dress, a ballet by one of New York’s up and coming choreographers, Larry Keigwin. Commissioned by RNZB to create this new work for the company, Keigwin’s choreography experience includes off-Broadway shows and New York Fashion Week’s opening night event produced by Vogue.
Completing the line-up is George Balanchine’s classic, Who Cares? in which Stiefel’s fiancée Gillian Murphy, who just happens to be one of the world’s top ballerinas, will make her New Zealand debut.
I don’t know about you but it’s my bet that this show is going to be worth all the hype.
