The Four Temperaments
Choreography: George Balanchine
Music: Paul Hindemith
Running Time: 30 minutes
The stunning simplicity and angular architecture of the choreography became the standard for Balanchine ballets. The work is an abstraction of ancient doctrines that enumerated the four aspects of a person's disposition.
Carmina Burana
Choreography: Matthew Neenan
Music: Carl Orff
Running Time: 55 minutes
Explosive. Provocative. Intense. Matthew Neenan's fiery work premiered
to sold out audiences three years ago. The Philadelphia Inquirer
declared it "simply scintillating steamy and explosive...a triumph."
Accompanied by the Pennsylvania Ballet Orchestra and The Philadelphia
Singers Chorale.
