Trinity

Ballet ignites the senses, the spirit, the soul.
With boundless energy and hypnotic charm the Royal New Zealand Ballet presents a bold new triple bill.

Esquisses is a sweetly subversive homage to 19th century tutu tradition from “the man who put the ’cor!’ into corps”, Christopher Hampson. Set to Alkan’s luminous piano studies, Hampson has created a series of crisp and challenging works for the dancers. This is classical ballet with spark and sophistication.

Javier De Frutos, the Olivier-nominated creator of the company’s Milagros, returns with a hotly anticipated new work Banderillero. With the natural instinct of a showman, De Frutos’ work is consistently dramatic, intensely personal and passionate.

Michael Parmenter’s Les Noces is a vividly theatrical exploration of Stravinsky’s remarkable score. Parmenter, one of New Zealand’s foremost choreographers, infuses life and light into the peasant wedding setting. “Parmenter has risen to the challenge of a great dance score and created a masterful dancework” Dominion Post (2003)
