The Green Table
I am very excited about see The Green Table this evening. Carolyn and I saw it almost 30 years ago in San Antonio and found it quite moving. It was the first "theater" ballet that I remember that was meaningful. I look forward to seeing it tonight and experiencing what it may or not do for us. We'll see...
The Brahms-Haydn Variations

An ABT commission for the Company's 60th Anniversary in 2000, The Brahms-Haydn Variations bursts with invention as Tharp explores Brahms' shimmering score, while brilliantly reaching a new peak of the choreographer's opus for large-cast classical ballets.

Monotones I and II
Synopsis:
Pure poetry, these haunting yet elegant pas de trois achieve an eerie otherworldliness of understated intensity, as Ashton reaches the summit of adagio classicism.

The Green Table
Synopsis:
Considered the most powerful antiwar statement ever devised for dance, this indisputable masterpiece opens at a diplomatic conference around a table covered with regulation green cloth, followed by vivid tableaux of the futility of war.
