OF SWANS AND VARIANTS

Thursday, April 4, at 7:00 PM

McCarter Theatre Center

ARB takes center stage in Princeton, NJ with a one-night-only evening of classic and contemporary dance.

This exciting program features an excerpt from a crown jewel of the ballet repertoire, Swan Lake Act II, followed by a recently choreographed contemporary piece, VARIANTS, from ARB Artistic Director Ethan Stiefel.

Swan Lake Act II takes audiences into the bewitching world of Odette, the swan princess, as she reveals her true form to Prince Siegfried. From the famous “Dance of the Cygnets” to the renowned romantic pas de deux, this fairytale scene will leave audiences spellbound.

Ethan Stiefel’s VARIANTS is a rocking, joyous romp set to Brahms’ “Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel, Op. 24.” Both the music and choreography consist of a set of twenty-five variations and a concluding fugue. VARIANTS is made possible by the generous support of The Ted & Mary Jo Shen Charitable Gift Fund.
