Cyclical Night Music: Astor Piazzolla Choreography: James Canfield
Great ideas come from a moment of pure imagination. What follows is hard work and patronage committed to art that moves. Join Nevada Ballet Theatre for this moment at the debut of our new ground-breaking Signature Series. With tremendous athleticism and grace, these three world premieres are visionary and unique.
The program begins by examining concepts of authenticity vs. imitation in Gail Gilbert’s Song of the Nightingale with music by Igor Stravinsky, followed by a new work from contemporary powerhouse Thaddeus Davis. The evening ends with Canfield’s Cyclical Night, featuring the music of Astor Piazzolla and inspired by the forbidden dance - the Tango.
