N.Y. Export: Opus Jazz
Presented by Pennsylvania Ballet at Merriam Theater
N.Y. Export: Opus Jazz [Company premiere]
Jerome Robbins // Music by Robert Prince
Barber Violin Concerto
Peter Martins // Music by Samuel Barber
World Premiere
Matthew Neenan
Feel the flavor of the city that never sleeps with Jerome Robbins' N.Y. Export: Opus Jazz. Robbins' "ballet in sneakers" celebrates the youth and vitality of the era in which it emerged: the distinctly cool 1950s. N.Y. Export: Opus Jazz adopts the spirit of Robbins' renowned musical West Side Story with Broadway-style theatricality saturating this series of dances.
Also on the bill, Peter Martins' Barber Violin Concerto showcases two couples, bathed in white, performing brilliant pas de deux that exhibit the range between classical ballet and modern dance.
Choreographer in Residence Matthew Neenan's much-anticipated 13th commission for the Company completes the program.
