George Balanchine's Serenade will open the Ballet MasterWorks program this season, and for the first time in nearly 20 years, Carmina Burana will be performed in the second half. The Colorado Ballet Orchestra and chorus offer live renditions of Carl Orff's intriguing and stirring music in this performance of Carmina Burana, which also features choreography by the esteemed Fernand Nault.
One of the most important ballet choreographers of the 20th century was an American named George Balanchine. He was a founding member of the New York City Dance and served as its artistic director for more than 35 years, earning him the moniker "the father of American ballet." His ballets lack a plot and have simple costumes and sets, and they are performed to classical and neoclassical music.
With a collection of distinctive artworks that blend timeless music and extraordinary physical expression, our season comes to a fascinating close. Theme and Variations by George Balanchine and Petite Mort by Ji Kylián are two legendary masterpieces that greatly influenced the art form and are still essential to the inventive repertoire of the 20th century. Together, they are included in this exciting program.
