The Evolution of Ballet

Description

Description

From its court origins in Louis XIV’s palace in the 17th Century, the art of ballet has undergone an evolution of around 300 years. This re-run of the award-winning production was staged at the Shatin Town Hall. Introduced by King Louis XIV and Catherine de’ Medici, well-known patron of the arts, the evolution of ballet was unveiled in this show. Featuring exciting excerpts from romantic and classical ballets like Giselle, Napoli, Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty, and the work of iconic 20th century figures such as Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham, George Balanchine and William Forsythe, this revealed all you need to know about ballet. It was a condensed history of this enduring dance form.
