Forsythe
The Kirov Ballet
Steptext
Two Ballets in the Manner of the Late 20th Century:
1. Approximate Sonata
2. The Vertiginous Thrill of Exactitude
In the middle, somewhat elevated
Royal Opera House,
Covent Garden
24 July at 2.00pm and 7.30pm
Displaying their phenomenal versatility, The Kirov Ballet will perform four Forsythe ballets here for the first time.
The opening Steptext to Bach’s magnificent Chaconne, Approximate Sonata and The Vertiginous Thrill of Exactitude all demand of the dancers incredible feats of bravura and stamina. In the middle, somewhat elevated is widely acknowledged to be one of Forsythe’s greatest works.
