Details
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!
