Cincinnati Ballet -Director's Cut: Musical Masters FancyFree | Rubies | Façades
Join Cincinnati Ballet for a once-in-a-lifetime dance feast, featuring three spectacular works on one program.
In addition to Balanchine’s balletic firecracker, Rubies (music by Stravinsky), and Garrett Smith’s mesmerizing Façades (music by Vivaldi, Handel and Philip Glass) is Jerome Robbins iconic Fancy Free, set to the music of Leonard Bernstein.
Fancy Free, created for New York City Ballet in 1944, is the story of three sailors on shore leave in New York before shipping out to war. The premiere performance of this work has become legendary, with two dozen curtain calls for the stunned cast, composer, and choreographer, and raves from the bowled-over critics.*
Fancy Free was also the inspiration for both the Broadway musical and the classic film, On the Town, starring Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, Judy Holliday and Vera-Ellen.
What better way to honor the 100th Anniversary of both Leonard Bernstein AND Jerome Robbins than to showcase and experience this delightful dance confection as part of Director’s Cut: Musical Masters?
