Pennsylvania Ballet on tour to the New York City Center
This week the Pennsylvania Ballet returns to New York City Center for the first time in twenty years with two dynamic programs. The first features live orchestra in a riveting new Carmina Burana, deemed a “triumph” by The Philadelphia Inquirer and choreographed by the Company’s own Matthew Neenan. The second program features works by Balanchine, Neenan, and Val Caniparoli’s vibrant Lambarena, a celebration of African music, Classical music and dance.
I look forward to playing this tour very much. Since so much of the Broadway theater business is shut down this week due to strikes, I hope people hear about this event and substitute their plans for this exciting opportunity. It is always thrilling to be on tour with an arts group and play in a different city. I think this brings the company to a new level. When an arts group plays for a completely new audience, it forces the presenting company to be the best that they can be. It is in this elevated state of artistic awareness that the performers achieve new heights.
