“A triumph of courage, enterprise, and above all, choreographic felicity” (The New York Times), the Sarasota Ballet has established itself as the main exponent of the choreography of Sir Frederick Ashton. The company presents Ashton’s 1956 pièce d’occasion Birthday Offering; followed by his 1940 wartime allegory Dante Sonata; and finally, returning to New York for the first time since its 1983 world premiere, his charming and boisterous Varii Capricci.
