In this new production from Opéra national de Paris, Benjamin Millepied pays tribute to his masters, George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins, two truly great choreographers, who led the American School, and dance in general, to rarely attained heights.
Millepied has choreographed Clear, Loud, Bright, Forward, an artistic collaboration with Nico Muhly, highlighting the excellence of classical technique and its significance for dance today.
Imagined by Jerome Robbins in 1979, Opus 19 / The Dreamer is a variation for two dancers to Sergei Prokofiev’s First Violin Concerto, portraying the daydream of a young man and his unreal counterpart.
George Balanchine’s Thème et Variations, with music by Piotr Ilitch Tchaikovsky, offers another facet of dance from this masterful choreographer. This classical and virtuoso group ballet, one of the repertoire’s most demanding, pays tribute to the Imperial Ballet of old Russia and its most famous master: Marius Petipa.
“Millepied’s choreographic style is his own — fleet, with the body often arrested in sudden still positions that draw the eye to the beauty of line in classical ballet... He is highly musical, evoking thoughts of friendship, love, power, isolation, fear and hardship.” - Roslyn Sulcas, The New York Times
