lmspear Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Here are the details: The Kennedy Center is offering $25 tickets in SELECT ORCHESTRA PRICE ZONES SEATING on Thursday, April 6, 2023, at 7:30pm, Friday, April 7, 2023, at 1:30pm and Sunday, April 9, 2023, 1:30pm in the Opera House Theater for THE JOFFREY BALLET ANNA KARENINA. ABOUT THE PROGRAM The Kennedy Center celebrates the return of The Joffrey Ballet, one of the premier companies performing in America today. The largest dance company in Chicago, the Joffrey expresses an inclusive perspective on dance, proudly reflecting the diversity of America through its company artists, extensive repertoire, academy, and community engagement programs. Looking beyond the stories we always see; The Joffrey Ballet presents a new ballet based on the novel Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. Love is all-consuming for Anna, a married aristocrat, who finds herself caught in a life-changing affair—where the consequences are grave. The ballet uses vivaciously intricate movement to bring Tolstoy’s riveting tale of desire and passion to life in groundbreaking fashion. Choreographed by the visionary Yuri Possokhov and with music by composer Ilya Demutsky, the production’s world premiere in 2019 marked the first full-length ballet with a commissioned score in the company’s history.

lacdescygnes Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I was there last night, not fully knowing what to expect and was very favorably impressed, so would encourage anyone on the fence to snag a ticket! The storytelling worked surprisingly well, although I would have structured the ending a tad differently. The cast was fantastic, the music (and Kennedy Center orchestra and live soprano) excellent. Beautiful costumes. Possokhov's choreography is hard to describe, but it really conveys the emotions of the characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abatt Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Quite some time ago the Mariinsky presented Ratmansky's Anna Karenina at Lincoln Center, and I enjoyed it. If anyone has seen it, I was wondering how it compared to the Joffrey's version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
