Join the Richmond Ballet’s Studio for three special performances.
Summerset
Three couples take the stage in Ron Cunningham’s Summerset, set to the music of Edward Elgar. Sweet Bitter Love tells the story of a love affair that was not meant to be. And, Rex Wheeler returns to create his first fully commissioned piece for Richmond Ballet.
Sweet Bitter Love
Sweet Bitter Love tells the story of a love affair that was not meant to be. With passionate choreography by Carmen de Lavallade set to heartbreaking lyrics sung by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway, this duet highlights the strength, grace, and emotional depth of its dancers.
A World Premiere by Rex Wheeler
Familiar to audiences for Lenten Rose, which was a part of the 2015 New Works Festival, Rex Wheeler returns to create his first fully commissioned piece for Richmond Ballet. Wheeler’s new work is sure to bear the hallmarks of his unique choreographic style, displaying his profound ability to combine classicism with imagination and creativity.
