PROGRAM 2
Mixed Repertory

Feb. 1 – Feb. 11, 2007

1. Blue Rose
Composer: Elena Kats-Chernin
Choreography: Helgi Tomasson

After its world premiere in 2006, the Russian ragtime flair of Tomasson’s Blue Rose returns with an irresistible myriad of dances and moods.

2. The Dance House
Composer: Dimitri Shostakovich
Choreography: David Bintley

Riveting and thought-provoking, Bintley’s The Dance House is inspired by loss, yet charged with life through the powerful and emotional music of Shostakovich.

3. Firebird - NEW!
**World premiere**
Composer: Igor Stravinsky
Choreography: Yuri Possokhov

Possokhov pairs Stravinsky’s brilliant composition with the Russian folktale of a young love between a prince, princess, and the golden firebird caught between enchantment and reality.
