“It was splendidly performed, with the dancers romping through the technical difficulties and bringing out the comedy." -- Natasha Rogai, South China Morning Post, on Le Carnaval des Animaux Wheeldon, Ratmansky and More will feature two of today’s most influential choreographers’ works. Critically acclaimed Christopher Wheeldon’s jazz-infused Rush will be Hong Kong Ballet’s first Wheeldon ballet. Rush promises an unforgettable experience in music visualized through the complexity of human bodies in motion, displaying a wide range and breadth of skill and artistry. Alexei Ratmansky’s charming one-act ballet Le Carnaval des Animaux (The Carnival of the Animals) bursts with colour, humour and incredible acrobatic performances! Le Carnaval des Animaux features a whimsical menagerie of animals brought to life with leaping, balancing, spinning and clowning to Camille Saint-Saen’s exciting, melodic score. This eclectic programme will showcase the Company’s seamless blend of vitality, technical precision and grace and offers audiences a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with the dynamic dancers.
