Houston Ballet: Mixed Repertory May 7, 2010

Houston Ballet's program will feature three diverse works by three of today's most sought-after choreographers; Stanton Welch's 'Falling,' Nacho Duato's,' Jardi Tancat,' and Twyla Tharp's In the Upper Room. Falling, choreographed in 2005, is a playful pure dance work set to Mozart's 'Salzburg Symphonies.' Jardi Tancat, created in 1983 by famed Spanish choreographer Nacho Duato and set to a collection of chilling Catalonian folk songs is the poignant story of a people working in their barren land. In the Upper Room, clearly showcases Twyla Tharp's success as a contemporary dance maker who seamlessly melds the worlds of modern dance and Ballet.
