Event Details

Soirée BALLET “Les Patineurs” with the Sarasota Ballet.

This trio of ballets by Sir Frederick Ashton and Jerome Robbins paints a picture of the world’s meeting and departing.

In Ashton’s Les Patineurs, the bright and joyous scene of ice skaters passing each other on a frozen pond contrasts the complexities of relationships in Jerome Robbins’s In the Night. The dancers’ interactions act as points of adoration, intensity, and contention under a blanket of stars.

Closing the Program is the return of Robbins’ Fancy-Free, were the flirtatious antics of three boisterous sailors on leave posture the jovial feelings of freedom against the brutal reality of a world at war.

The Sarasota Orchestra will accompany this performance, conducted by American Ballet Theatre Music Director Ormsby Wilkins, and with Guest Pianist Cameron Grant.

“Les Patineurs is a brilliant choreographic jett d’esprit,and is nothing but a testament to virtuosity and life.” – The New York Times.

Optional pre-performance drinks and dinner (paid individually) at Bijou Garden Café – 5:30-7:00 pm. Call/e-mail office for details.

10% Discount Code for Members – Saturday 17 December – 7:30 pm for Ballet.
