Item Description
The 2010 Season of New York City Ballet at Saratoga Performing Arts Center presented by HSBC Bank USA N.A., July 6 - 17, will feature 16 stunning ballets including three opening week performances of Balanchine's full-length, story ballet A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM. The classic work, based on Shakespeare's famous play, features elaborate sets and costumes and a cast of over 100 dancers including 27 children.
The summer program also features THE STEADFAST TIN SOLDIER, a beloved Balanchine work based on a Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale that was commissioned and premiered at SPAC in 1975; STRAVINSKY VIOLIN CONCERTO, which Balanchine created as part of the legendary Stravinsky Festival and which was last performed at SPAC in 2004; several popular works by Jerome Robbins including N.Y. EXPORT: OPUS JAZZ and THE CONCERT; and RED ANGELS, a visually dramatic ballet choreographed by Ulysses Dove that was last performed at SPAC in 1998.
Other works on the 2010 program that have not been performed for Saratoga audiences in several years include: LA SOURCE which combines thrilling ensemble work with virtuoso pas de deux; WALPURGISNACHT BALLET which pairs Balanchine's elegant choreography with a passionate score by Gounod; Jerome Robbins' spirited FANCY FREE featuring Leonard Bernstein's score; and Balanchine's WHO CARES? set to George Gershwin's classic score.
The schedule will also include Peter Martins' BARBER VIOLIN CONCERTO which explores the contrast between classical ballet and modern dance, and Christopher Wheeldon's AFTER THE RAIN.
New York City Ballet matinee performances start at 2:00 p.m. and evening performances at 8:00 p.m. in the Amphitheatre. Seating is provided in sections 8, 9 & 10.
