Miami City Ballet - Program II at Broward Center

New Ballet by Liam Scarlett - WORLD PREMIERE - The Royal Ballet's most successful young choreographer, has accepted a commission from Miami City Ballet to create his first work for an American company. A coup!!!

In the Night (Robbins/Chopin) Three stages of love--flirtation, passion and intimacy--are experienced through three glamorous pas de deux, all danced against a star-studded night sky and to Chopin's ravishing piano music.

Ballet Imperial (Balanchine/Tchaikovsky) This plotless masterpiece pays homage to the spirit and grandeur of imperial St. Petersburg. Balanchine descibed it as "a contemporary tribute to Petipa, the father of classical ballet, and to Tchaikovsky, his greatest composer."
