Nina Ananiashvili & the State Ballet of Georgia
June 23-June 27, 2010 • REPUBLIC OF GEORGIA • LIVE MUSIC
Nina Ananiashvili, "classical ballet's undeniable superstar" (The New York Post), is quite simply one of the greatest dancers of our time. A former star of the Bolshoi Ballet and American Ballet Theatre, she now directs the State Ballet of Georgia, which showcases outstanding classical technique in a diverse, dynamic program of ballet works at Jacob's Pillow. Live music by musicians from the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival/Yale School of Music and a guest performance by Sebastian Kloborg of The Royal Danish Ballet add to the excitement of this Festival opening engagement.
The State Ballet of Georgia performs Falling Angels by the incomparable Czech choreographer Jirí Kylián, and Bizet Variations by American Ballet Theatre choreographer-in-residence Alexei Ratmansky, who was recently called "one of the best dancemakers in ballet today" by The New York Times. George Balanchine's classic Duo Concertant is a rare treat, with score by Igor Stravinsky performed live. The program concludes with four pas de deux (dances for two) by classical ballet's Sir Frederick Ashton including Voices of Spring and La Chatte.
