The Sarasota Ballet lands at The Joyce with a program honoring three of Britain’s great choreographers–Sir Frederick Ashton, Antony Tudor, and Sir Peter Wright.

Coinciding with the 90th anniversary of its premiere, Tudor’s emotional and poignant masterpiece Lilac Garden opens the show with a tale of a young woman, her lover, and the man she must marry. Considered one of the pre-eminent exponents of the ballets of Sir Frederick Ashton, the program continues with a rich selection of Ashton divertissements, including the Balcony Scene from his seldom-seen Romeo and Juliet.

Finally, bringing the performance to a close and in celebration of the choreographer’s 100th Birthday, Sir Peter Wright’s ethereal and exquisitely beautiful Summertide displays a unique and rare example of his abstract choreography.
