P1 – RELATIVE WORKS

Featuring works from artists with close ties to The Sarasota Ballet, Program One opens with a World Premiere by Virginia B. Toulmin & Muriel O’Neil Artist in Residence, Jessica Lang, whose work has been performed by many of the world’s leading ballet companies. Returning to the stage for the first time since premiering in 2019, Ricardo Graziano’s romantic Amorosa creates a sensual atmosphere with striking red corset costumes for the women and stark black high collared outfits for the men. Closing the program is Johan Kobborg’s refreshing production of Napoli Act III. An important part of Danish Choreographer August Bournonville’s legacy, Kobborg again brings this historic work to the stage with beauty and vitality.
