CIRCLE OF FIFTHS

This exuberant plotless, neoclassical ballet is filled with unusual choreographic pictures -- a man prone on the floor while a pas de deux is danced around him, a bouncing ensemble, and a woman being tossed across the stage to a group of men, are just a few.

BOLERO

In “Bolero”, the choreographer has used moments that form in time which have inspired him from life, human relationships which he has seen and heard and as a choreographer these sections are his interpretation of these outbursts in relationships. 
 

PAQUITA

Paquita has a narrative set in Spain during Peninsular War in which a gypsy girl saves the life of a French officer. It was Marius Petipa who was to be responsible for an important version,much revised, which he produced in St.Petersburg in 1881. In this production, he interpolated a “grand pas” with music by Ludwig Minkus. “Grand pas” is an exultant display piece for a ballerina and a “premier danseur” with six first soloists and eight second soloists. The “grand pas” has always been seen as one of the jewels of the Petipa repertory, demanding  a cast of the very first quality.
