The 2015-2016 subscription season includes:
Sylvia - October 14-25, 2015
Choreographer: John Neumeier | Music: Léo Delibes
Deception. Unrequited love. Obsession. Sylvia's coming-of-age vulnerability clashes with her youthful aggression. True love will balance these opposing forces, but loss of that love will test her newfound purpose in this magnificent female-powered ballet. Neumeier's brilliant and brilliantly choreographed Sylvia will have audiences on their feet.
U.S. Premiere
Bold Moves - February 10-21, 2016
Forgotten Land
Choreographer: Jiří Kylián | Music:Benjamin Britten
Stirring and beautiful. Forgotten Land was inspired by a painting of women on a beach by the Norwegian expressionist Edvard Munch. The sea, with its giant waves, is a metaphor for constant motion; for erosion and renewal.
World Premiere
Choreographer: Ashley Page | Music: Thomas Ades
A winner of many prestigious dance awards, Page is known for his daring collaborations with visual artists and contemporary composers. Though drawn from the discipline of ballet, his bold choreography explores new avenues for dance.
RAkU
Choreographer: Yuri Possokhov | Music: Shinji Eshima
Possokhov uses the burning of the Golden Pavilion in Kyoto, Japan, as the point of departure for a story of love, treachery, separation and tragedy. Set in Japan's past, a warrior and his beloved princess are pulled apart by the schemes of a jealousy-crazed monk.
Cinderella - April 20 - May 1, 2016
Choreographer: Frederick Ashton | Music: Sergei Prokofiev
The classic fairy tale comes to life in this dazzling ballet. Cinderella's Fairy Godmother and the Fairies of the Four Seasons help her overcome her mean-spirited step sisters and find her Prince. Grand sets and costumes add beauty to this family favorite production.
Plus, add on these three not-to-be-missed programs:
Millennials - September 16-20, 2015
Fool's Paradise
Choreographer: Christopher Wheeldon | Music: Joby Talbot
Golden lighting captures falling glittery petals as the dancers' bodies form a series of living sculptures. This display of beauty and strength follows closely to the score's mysterious turns.
Joffrey Premiere
World Premiere
Choreographer: Annabelle Lopez Ochoa | Music: Michael Gordon
This rising star of choreography collaborates closely with her dancers and has a fierce improvisational talent. She has created ballets on many companies around the world. Dance Magazine says "one of her trademarks is the ability to suggest powerful emotions through abstract movement."
World Premiere
Choreographer: Myles Thatcher | Music: Steve Reich
Thatcher creates ballets that resonate with feeling and atmosphere. He is a current dancer with the San Francisco Ballet, where he has also created new work. "There is a fearlessness to Thatcher's eye-catching and dynamic choreography." - SFGate
The Nutcracker - December 4-27, 2015
Collaboration conceived and directed by: Robert Joffrey | Music: Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky
See Robert Joffrey's version of this holiday favorite for the last time - and look for news of 2016's world premiere of a new Nutcracker! Don't miss this lavish, beloved holiday tradition, with Tchaikovsky's score performed live by The Chicago Philharmonic.
