Echoes of Russian Ballet

American Repertory Ballet

With Echoes of Russian Ballet, American Repertory Ballet presents an evening of ballets inspired by infamous, revolutionary works that the legendary Ballets Russes brought to America in the early 20th century. The ambitious program features: Artistic Director Douglas Martin’s Firebird, set to a compelling score by Stravinsky, Martin’s Rite of Spring, also set to music by Stravinsky, and Kirk Peterson’s Afternoon of a Faun (L’après-midi d’un faune), set to Debussy’s provocative score. Patrick Kennedy of Broadway World described the program as “a revisitation of the balletic past that was taut, nimble, and modern” and by Jerry Hochman of CriticalDance as “visual dynamite.” This show contains partial nudity.

Tickets: $27-$57
