Two recent works and
one world premiere showcase the contemporary face of the royal ballet. The
program includes: Christopher Wheeldon’s Within The Golden Hour, the World Premiere of the new
ballet from Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, and Crystal Pite’s Oliver Award Winning Flight Pattern.
The contemporary face of The Royal Ballet is shown in works from three of
today’s leading choreographers. Christopher Wheeldon’s Within the Golden Hour
is based around seven couples separating and intermingling, to music by Vivaldi
and Bosso and lit with rich colours suggested by sunset. Crystal Pite’s Flight Pattern,
revived for the first time, uses a large dance ensemble and Górecki’s familiar
music from his Symphony of Sorrowful Songs for a poignant and passionate
reflection on migration. Between them, a new work by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui,
created for The Royal Ballet has its premiere to bring the contemporary truly
up-to-date.
