LES SYLPHIDES
Choreography by Michel Fokine
Music by Frédéric Chopin
Amid a moon-drenched forest glade, a romantic reverie springs from the sublime music of Chopin to evoke an image of classical beauty in its most ethereal form. If Fokine had never choreographed another step, this ballet would have established him as a genius of dance.

THE MOOR’S PAVANE
Choreography by José Limón
Music by Henry Purcell
Limón's masterwork beautifully distills in one act the passion and dramatic arc of Shakespeare's Othello. Performed to a stately Renaissance court dance, this psychological thriller reaches its heartbreaking climax as the noble Othello succumbs to Iago's treachery.

GONG
Choreography by Mark Morris
Music by Colin McPhee
Suffused with orientalism, Mark Morris’ Gong playfully melds modern and classical dance, gamelan-inspired music, and Isaac Mizrahi’s rainbow-hued costumes into a kaleidoscope of innovative movement that is both tongue-in-cheek and grandly serious.
