Three of today’s most in-demand choreographers join forces on a program accented by impressive and atmospheric scenery.


Estancia

  • Choreography by: Christopher Wheeldon
  • Principal Casting: APR 29, 30 MAT: Ana Sophia Scheller, Adrian Danchig-Waring, Amar Ramasar
Featuring sumptuous painted landscapes by Santiago Calatrava, Estancia tells the story of a city boy who learns to wrangle horses, and ultimately the heart of a country girl, on the Argentine pampas.

Like the ballet's ever-changing Wassily Kandinsky watercolors, the ten dancers in Pictures at an Exhibition move in varying combinations while displaying a plethora of emotion, from raw and wild to solemn and soulful.
