Rite of Spring, time to emerge from the cocoon, and unfurl those butterfly wings...
we are out of February, and although it won't be official until March 20, it is SPRING!
Last night I saw the world premier at SF Ballet of The Rite of Spring.
Composer, Ivor Stravinsky, Choreographer, Yuri Possokov, Principal dancers, Jennifer Stahl--- (standing ovation for her alone), and James Sofranco---perfect foil for Jennifer. He and all the rest beyond sublime.
It is part of Program 3, three separate pieces, w/ MM Dance Company.
Last and middling, Guide to Strange Places, Composer John Adams, Choreographer Ashley Page, was lovely, perfection, I would say, even if a little pastoral for my taste.
Two more performances, March 2, and March 10.
