MASTERS OF MOVEMENT
Houston Ballet is pleased to introduce three important works into its repertoire, masterful works by master choreographers. Leaves are Fading is a lyrical study in wistful dreaminess by famed English choreographer Antony Tudor. The Vertiginous Thrill of Exactitude is all Forsythe, a sexy and energetic work that fully lives up to its name. Jiří Kylián's Soldiers' Mass is a poignant commentary on the destruction and devastation of war. This is a program not to be missed.
