Description
"The Australian Ballet pays tribute to world-renowned choreographer Jerome Robbins with a delectable, dark and delightful program." fineMUSIC
"This is humour - and dance - at its best. Hugely entertaining and hugely clever." The Sunday Telegraph on The Concert
"... it is probably the coolest ballet ever made." The Australian on Afternoon of a Faun
Jerome Robbins is perhaps best known for his choreography and co-direction of the massively influential film West Side Story.
But Robbins was also an enormously successful choreographer for theatre and ballet during his lifetime, and his works continue to be performed around the world ten years after his death. This programme salutes Robbins by presenting very different sides to his imagination, ranging from the intriguingly dark to the laugh-out-loud funny.
The programme features four of his most celebrated works, The Cage, A Suite of Dances, Afternoon of a Faun and The Concert which are set to extraordinary scores by musical greats Stravinsky, Bach, Debussy and Chopin respectively.
