"Classic Balanchine" at The Boston Opera House

Experience the master anew with three iconic works: Chaconne, his composition of transcendent beauty and lyrical, flowing dance that shows life and love enduring. Prodigal Son, first conceived for Ballets Russes, is a tale of sin, redemption, and homecoming. One of the choreographer's first story ballets and early international successes, it innovately weaves together movements from gymnastics, the circus, and classical ballet. Stravinsky Violin Concerto offers an intricately designed composition that includes two of Balanchine's most distinctive and imaginative pas de deux.
