A tour of three new ballets created especially for New English Ballet Theatre’s 2017 Season Enticement’s Lure by Valentino Zucchetti, Vertex by Daniela Cardim and The Four Seasons by Jenna Lee.
29 June – 16 July 2016
Enticement’s Lure
Valentino Zucchetti’s new ballet was set to Rachmaninov’s Trio Elegiaque No. 1 in G Minor. It explored how temptation and desire impacted on the relationships of two couples.
This ballet was generously supported by the Richard Cunis Syndicate and The Nicholas Berwin Charitable Trust.
Vertex
Daniela Cardim’s piece was heavily influenced by classical music from her native Brazil and set to Camargo Guarnieri’s String Quartet No. 2. It examined the dynamic and the intention of movement in response to the music, and also to the mesmerising drawings of the renowned Royal Academy of Arts sculptor, Ann Christopher.
The Four Seasons
Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons Recomposed by Max Richter brought a modern take to a well-loved classic. Antonio Vivaldi wrote the four violin concertos known as Le quattro stagioni in 1721 and today, The Four Seasons may be the most widely heard and highly acclaimed piece of classical music ever composed.
In this ballet, April Dalton’s exquisite costume design and Jenna Lee’s dramatic choreography enriched this refreshing recomposition of Vivaldi’s masterpiece by pioneering British composer Max Richter.
The Four Seasons was made possible by the generous philanthropic support of Rosemary Burr in memory of her parents Bernice and Reg Burr.
