France’s prestigious Malandain Ballet Biarritz performs in Philadelphia for the very first time in The Seasons, a full-length work set to The Four Seasons, both Vivaldi’s masterpiece and the lesser-known composition of the same name by Giovanni Antonio Guido. While drastically different, both works are a celebration of nature, and this is eloquently explored in choreographer Thierry Malandain’s masterful fusion of classical and contemporary styles. “The dance carries everything, from the joy of spring to the passions of summer…just a splendid invitation to meditate on the beauty of life and the passage of time.” (Le Figaro) Don’t miss your chance to see this stunning company in a rare U.S. appearance.
