Tom Lingwood’s airy white tutus, elegant in their simplicity, look stunning en masse.
Symphony in C
This all-thrills bill features Symphony in C, George Balanchine’s mile-a-minute tutu ballet, alongside a program of classical party pieces and one-act works by up-and-coming choreographers Alice Topp and Richard House.
Balanchine’s Symphony in C has all the grace and elegance of ballet’s golden age, with modern speed and a touch of Hollywood pizazz. Set to Bizet’s exuberant score, it breezes along to a knock-em-dead finale that crowds the stage with white tutus.
Classical and contemporary, sparkle and spectacle: Symphony in C is the perfect ballet sampler.
