Triple Bill

 

Asaf Messerer's

Class Concert

UK Premiere of Christopher Wheeldon's

Elsinore

Twyla Tharp's

In the Upper Room

13, 14 August at 7.30pm

Eagerly awaited is Elsinore, the first ballet created for the Bolshoi Ballet by Christopher Wheeldon.

Received ecstatically at its premiere in Moscow in February 2007, the collaboration has produced a highly individual and exciting experience.

Together with Twyla Tharp's In the Upper Room , it promises to show another facet of the Bolshoi's supreme virtuosity.

Completing the Triple Bill is Class Concert, the iconic ballet by Asaf Messerer not seen here since 1965.

Using all the major dancers in the company, the ballet reaches an exciting climax which only the Bolshoi Ballet's legendary bravura can produce.
