Eifman Ballet of St. Petersburg, Tender is the Night at Segerstrom Center for the Arts, Segestrom Hall

Boris Eifman uses the ballets he creates to explore the depths of the human psyche, offering unforgettable portraits of creativity, torment and genius. For his latest creation, Eifman turns to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s final novel, Tender is the Night, as his inspiration for a stunning new ballet. The tumultuous story unfolds on the glamorous French Riviera as a young Hollywood starlet finds herself drawn into the world of a wealthy, elegant and magnetic couple and their coterie of followers.
