Kaatsbaan Spring Festival
As part of the 2021 Kaatsbaan Spring Festival, ABT will perform new works by Helen Pickett and James Whiteside, as well as pas de deux from the Company’s repertoire.
City of Women
Choreography by James Whiteside
Music by Franz Schubert (“String Quartet in D Minor, Op. posth. D.810 ‘Death & the Maiden’: II. Andante con moto”)
The wisdom passed down from one dancer to another is everlasting, and each generation of dancers builds upon the foundation of the last, pushing ballet to new heights. Set to a dark and dramatic score by Franz Schubert, City of Women celebrates all that we owe to those who have come before us.
A Time There Was pas de deux
Choreography by Gemma Bond
Music by Benjamin Britten
Costumes by Sylvie Rood
Inspired by English folk tunes, A Time There Was highlights the strength and beauty of ABT’s artists.
Don Quixote pas de deux
Choreography by Marius Petipa and Alexander Gorsky
Music by Ludwig Minkus
Costumes by Santo Loquasto
ABT brings the excitement and beauty of classical ballet with the high-spirited, energetic pas de deux from the full-length ballet Don Quixote.
Desire
Choreography by Helen Pickett
Music composed and recorded by Peter Salem
Desire explores two threads within Gustave Flaubert’s novel, Madame Bovary: Emma Bovary’s vibrant, starry-eyed imagination and the societal energies of the small-town she inhabits.
