Bringing quirky pieces old and new together, this production will thrill audiences with the colourful world of ballet. Daily performances will alternate between the showy grand pas de deux from "Don Quixote" and the Black Swan's pas de deux from the third Act of the classical masterpiece "Swan Lake", with other features including George BALANCHINE's "Theme and Variations", the unmatched technical finesse of BALANCHINE's "Tarantella", Japanese choreographer FUKAGAWA Hideo's in "Soirée de Ballet" and the highly entertaining and very popular all-male dancers in "Troy Game". Take note of how the dancers readily adapt their physicality and expression to match the piece.
