Previous details associated with this item and date of change.

Date of change: 15 Feb 17 - T44351247

Birmingham Royal Ballet - Solitaire/5 Tangos/Pineapple Poll

Work:: Birmingham Royal Ballet (S0697032789)

Company

Birmingham Royal Ballet

Production:: Solitaire/5 Tangos/Pineapple Poll (T44351247)

In Kenneth MacMillan's Solitaire, a beautifully English ballet, we inhabit a lone girl's imagination as she dreams up playmates for herself. Set to composer Malcolm Arnold's rip-roaring English Dances, it features stunning period design. In contrast, Hans van Manen's 5 Tangos translates Astor Piazzolla's fiery and passionate music into powerful Latin-inspired ballet. Finally, in Pineapple Poll, a gaggle of girls fall in love with the dashing captain of HMS Hot Cross Bun, so dress up as sailors and sneak aboard. Despite the ensuing chaos, it all ends well in this thoroughly ?Gilbert and Sullivan' affair!

Choreographer	Kenneth MacMillan (Solitaire)
